"Asumsi Anda tentang kehidupan orang lain berhubungan langsung dengan keangkuhan Anda yang naif. Banyak orang yang Anda yakini kaya tidak kaya. Banyak orang yang menurut Anda mudah bekerja keras untuk apa yang mereka dapatkan. Banyak orang yang tampaknya meluncur ke kanan telah menderita dan menderita. Banyak orang yang nampak tua dan bodoh dibebani dengan anak-anak, mobil, dan rumah dulu sama pinggul dan sombongnya denganmu."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Your assumptions about the lives of others are in direct relation to your naïve pomposity. Many people you believe to be rich are not rich. Many people you think have it easy worked hard for what they got. Many people who seem to be gliding right along have suffered and are suffering. Many people who appear to you to be old and stupidly saddled down with kids and cars and houses were once every bit as hip and pompous as you.
