提醒自己快死了，是我在人生中面临重大决定时，所用过最重要的方法。因为几乎每件事－所有外界期望、所有的名声、所有对困窘或失败的恐惧－在面对死亡时，都消失了，只有最真实重要的东西才会留下。
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
译文：人生百年，无论大小事，兴盛与衰败，都如同一场梦般转瞬即逝。

The best way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.
做人的气度要高旷但不可疏漏狂妄；心思要缜密但不可琐碎；趣味要淡但不可枯燥；操守要严明但不可激烈。
所以英明的君主治理国家，明确奖赏民众就会努力立功，严厉刑罚民众就会遵守法律。
Poetry is the art of saying the unsayable.
