写作是一种乐观的行为。如果你觉得它不重要，你就不会费心去做。
"The act of writing is an act of optimism. You would not take the trouble to do it if you felt it didn't matter."
我们为新南开所抱的志愿，不过是‘了解中国，服务中国’这两句话。
It's important to stay true to yourself and your values.
To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.
自己所具备的美德，可以希望别人也具有，但是不能强求别人具有；自己所没有的品德，可以规劝他人具有，却不能怪罪别人没有。因此待人宽容的人根据自己的心理来体察别人的感受，决不按照自己的情况来衡量别人。
If you want to be a leader, you have to be willing to make unpopular decisions.
死人比破碎的心更重。
