现代社会已经失去了它的灵魂，我们都在精神沙漠中徘徊。

——〈上李鸿章书〉，1894年1月

I believe in the discipline of mastering the best that other people have ever figured out.

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.

The first step in the art of management is the selection of the right man for the right job.
