When checking references for a job applicant， employers may be reluctant or prohibited from saying anything negative， so leave or send a message that says， “Get back to me if you highly recommend this applicant as super great.” If they don’t reply take that as a negative.

The act of writing is an act of courage and defiance.

An understanding of the natural world and what's in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfillment.

当我们是大为谦卑的时候，便是我们最接近伟大的时候。

历史不仅仅是关于过去；它是关于过去如何塑造现在。
