Excellence is never an accident. It is the result of high intention, sincere effort and intelligent execution.

Choice, not chance, determines your destiny, dreams and values.

                                                  ——Aristotle

优秀绝不是一个偶然。它是强烈的动机、不懈的努力和智慧的共同结果。

不是机遇,而是你的选择,决定了你的命运、梦想和价值。
