Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

التميز هو فن فاز بها التدريب والتعود. نحن لا نتصرف بشكل صحيح لأن لدينا الفضيلة أو التميز ، لكننا نفضل ذلك لأننا تصرفنا بشكل صحيح. ونحن ما نقوم به مرارا وتكرارا. الامتياز إذن ليس عملاً بل عادة.

تعالی هنری است که با آموزش و عادت به دست می آید. ما به درستی عمل نمی کنیم زیرا تقوا یا تعالی داریم ، بلکه بیشتر آنها را داریم زیرا ما به درستی عمل کرده ایم. ما آنچه هستیم که مدام تکرار میکنیم. بنابراین تعالی یک عمل نیست بلکه یک عادت است.

卓越性は、訓練と慣れによって獲得された芸術です。私たちは美徳や卓越性を持っているので正しく行動しませんが、正しく行動したのでむしろそれらを持っています。私たちは繰り返し行うことです。したがって、卓越性は行為ではなく習慣です。

excelența este o artă câștigată prin antrenament și obișnuință. nu acționăm corect pentru că avem virtute sau excelență, ci le avem mai degrabă pentru că am acționat corect. suntem ceea ce facem în mod repetat. prin urmare, excelența nu este un act, ci un obicei.

卓越是一门通过训练和习惯养成的艺术。我们没有正确的举止是因为我们拥有美德或卓越,但是我们却拥有这些是因为我们举止得当。我们就是要反复做。因此,卓越不是一种行为而是一种习惯。

卓越是一門通過訓練和習慣養成的藝術。我們沒有正確的舉止是因為我們擁有美德或卓越,而我們卻擁有這些是因為我們舉止得當。我們就是要反复做。因此,卓越不是一種行為而是一種習慣。
