When someone is nasty， rude， hateful， or mean with you， pretend they have a disease. That makes it easier to have empathy toward them which can soften the conflict.

The desire for recognition, the thymotic part of the soul, is what drives human history.

I can never be safe; I always try and go against the grain. As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal. That's how I've gotten to where I am.

I'm not a person who gives up easily.

我不是一个放弃自己力量的人。
