心理学上有个著名的“公交车实验”：
There is a famous "bus experiment" in psychology:
如果人生是辆公交车，你是司机，试想一下，当上来一些咒骂你的乘客，你会怎么做？
If life were a bus and you were the driver, imagine what you would do if some passengers cursed at you?
吵完了才走，势必耽误行程。
Leaving after arguing will inevitably delay the trip.
如果不予理会，一直往前开，你会发现，这不过是路上的小插曲。
If you ignore it and keep driving forward, you will find that this is just a small episode on the road.
开车如此，人生也如此。
Driving is like this, so is life.
