当孩子逐渐长大，父母开始在给予和获得的关系上设定边界，使得孩子可以慢慢学习离开家，过独立的生活。做一个好父母意味着，有时必须让孩子失望，拒绝孩子的要求；允许孩子去有负面的经历，去失败，从而学习。

年轻时曾和费孝通讨论爱因斯坦的相对论，不懂，有一天忽然明白了，时间跑，地球在转，即使同样的地点也没有一天是完全相同的。现在我也这样，感觉每一天都是新的，每天看叶子的变化，听鸟的啼鸣，都不一样。

杨绛

I'm comfortable with who I am and what I do. I know what I bring to the table.

沟通“三”原则，要找到真相，让别人比他们之前说的更深一些，一次、两次、三次的重复这个过程，第三次你就接近真相了。

Rule of 3 in conversation. To get to the real reason， ask a person to go deeper than what they just said. Then again， and once more. The third time’s answer is close to the truth.

有时我们测量事物，看到它们在短期内实际上会损害销售，我们仍然会这样做。

Sometimes we measure things and see that in the short term they actually hurt sales, and we do it anyway.

I have a vivid memory of what happened， and it was not what I expected. I expected to be applauded for my cleverness and arithmetic skills. "Jeff， you're so smart. You had to have made some tricky estimates， figure out the number of minutes in a year and do some division." That's not what happened. Instead， my grandmother burst into tears. I sat in the backseat and did not know what to do. While my grandmother sat crying， my grandfather， who had been driving in silence， pulled over onto the shoulder of the highway. He got out of the car and came around and opened my door and waited for me to follow. Was I in trouble？ My grandfather was a highly intelligent， quiet man. He had never said a harsh word to me， and maybe this was to be the first time？ Or maybe he would ask that I get back in the car and apologize to my grandmother. I had no experience in this realm with my grandparents and no way to gauge what the consequences might be. We stopped beside the trailer. My grandfather looked at me， and after a bit of silence， he gently and calmly said， "Jeff， one day you'll understand that it's harder to be kind than clever."

我清晰地记得接下来发生了什么，而那是我意料之外的。我本期待着小聪明和算术技巧能赢得掌声，但那并没有发生。相反，我的祖母哭泣起来。我的祖父之前一直在默默开车，把车停在了路边，走下车来，打开了我的车门，等着我跟他下车。我惹麻烦了吗？我的祖父是一个智慧而安静的人。他从来没有对我说过严厉的话，难道这会是第一次？还是他会让我回到车上跟祖母道歉？我以前从未遇到过这种状况，因而也无从知晓会有什么后果发生。我们在房车旁停下来。祖父注视着我，沉默片刻，然后轻轻地、平静地说："杰夫，有一天你会明白，善良比聪明更难。"

If you’re not failing occasionally, you’re not pushing the boundaries enough.

如果你没有偶尔失败，说明你没有足够地突破界限。

我相信电影的力量可以改变人心，让人们以新的视角看待事物。

个人彻悟的程度，恰等于他所受痛苦的深度。
