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. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

手工制造一支这样的枪所需的劳动会耗尽任何普通工匠的耐心和毅力。

剑鞘保护剑的锋利，自己却满足於它自己的迟钝。
