Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so.

未来不是我们进入的东西，而是我们创造的东西。

I wanted to sell a million records, and I sold a million records. I wanted to go platinum; I went platinum. I've been working nonstop since I was 15. I don't even know how to chill out.

Only by working harder than others can you be more successful than others.

Science progresses one funeral at a time.

The richness I achieve comes from Nature, the source of my inspiration.
