If you want to be successful, you have to be willing to make sacrifices.

"The world is made of stories, not atoms."

我们听到的言语是我们听不到的言语的指示。它是一种必要的回避，一种暴力的、狡猾的、痛苦的或嘲笑的烟幕，使对方保持在它的位置上。

【译文】 孔子说：“君子心怀仁德，小人心怀家乡；君子心怀法制，小人心怀实利。”

People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.

在空闲的时候不做准备，危急的时候却临时抱佛脚。国家发生战乱时，才想到有名的将领；家庭贫困时才希望能有个贤惠的妻子。
