248．不要认同最新的说法

不要认同最新的说法。有些人跟着最新的说法走，结果走向了荒谬的极端。他们的情感和愿望是用蜡制成的——最后到的人用图章在上面盖上印，把以前的印迹都抹掉。这种人永远不会得到任何东西，因为他们把一切丢得太快。每个人都可用自己的染料给他们染色。让他们成为知己没有任何好处，这些人一辈子都长不大。因为情感和意志变化无常，他们跌跌撞撞，思想和愿望都像跛了脚一样，在路上摇摇晃晃。

248．Do not go with the last speaker

Do not go with the last speaker. There are persons who go by the latest edition, and thereby go to irrational extremes. Their feelings and desires are made of wax: the last comer stamps them with his seal and obliterates all previous impressions. These never gain anything, for they lose everything so soon. Everyone dyes them with his own colour. They are of no use as confidants; they remain children their whole life. Owing to this instability of feeling and volition, they stumble along, crippled in will and thought, and tottering from one side of the road to the other.
