4 My Road of Trials: 1983–1994

    After about a year of this,I could see that running both Bridgewater and Bridgewater China Partners wasn't going to be possible,so I closed its doors.Nobody made or lost any money,because I hadn't been comfortable enough with what I was seeing to make any investments.I'm sure that if I had devoted all my time to it,we would have had great success,but then Bridgewater would not be what it is today.Despite passing up this great opportunity,I don't regret my choice.I learned that if you work hard and creatively,you can have just about anything you want,but not everything you want.Maturity is the ability to reject good alternatives in order to pursue even better ones.
 你可以得到任何你想要的，但你无法得到全部你想要的，所以懂得如何做取舍是成熟的一个标志。
