Make decisions when you are ready, not under pressure. Others will always push you to make a decision for their own purposes, internal politics, or some other external need. But you can almost always say, “I think I need a little more time to think about this. I’ll get back to you.” This tactic is very effective at defusing even the most difficult and uncomfortable situations.
要在准备好时做出决定，而不是在压力之下。或为了达到个人目的，或因为内部政治斗争，或因为一些外部需求，其他人总会催促你做出决策。但几乎每次你都可以这么说：“我需要更多的时间来考虑这个问题。我想清楚了再回复你。”即使是在最艰难、最令人不快的情况下，这种策略也非常有效。
建筑不应该大喊大叫。它应该对人们的生活轻声细语。
"I write for kids because I was a kid who needed books."
教师最重要的是一颗理解的心，它值得无限地尊崇。人们在回忆中赞赏才华横溢的教师，但感激曾触动自己的人类情感的教师。对于成长中的孩子、对于孩子的灵魂，功课是必须的，但至关重要的营养是人性的温暖。
