"There are moments when the past feels so close you could reach out and touch it, and then it’s gone again, like smoke."

The nightmare thought is that frightening people is the best way to get work out of them, and that somehow the crueler the environment, the more people will rise to the challenge. You want to think, who would you like as your ideal dad? And your ideal dad is somebody who is tough but gentle. And it's a very hard line to make. We need fathers, as it were, the exemplary father figures in society, avoiding the two extremes, which is the authoritarian disciplinarian on the one hand, and on the other, the lax, no-rules option.

I'm just trying to be the best version of myself.

成功的关键在于敢于思考非传统的想法。

The most successful businesses are those that align profit with purpose.

写作是为我们的恐惧发声的一种方式。
