门户之衰，总由于子孙之骄惰；风俗之坏，多起于富贵之奢淫。
译文：一个家族的衰败没落，多半是因为子孙们的骄傲懒惰所致；社会风气的败坏，多是因为富贵者的奢华淫靡所致。赏析：一个家族要想兴旺发达，必然有良好的家风传承，子孙门的骄奢淫逸只会让家族走向没落。

The energy landscape is changing, and we must change with it to remain relevant.
Sometimes I just feel like quitting, but then I think about all the people I’d be letting down.
