Now， I am not going to stand here and tell you that failure is fun. That period of my life was a dark one， and I had no idea that there was going to be what the press has since represented as a kind of fairy tale resolution. I had no idea then how far the tunnel extended， and for a long time， any light at the end of it was a hope rather than a reality.
现在，我不打算站在这里告诉你们，失败是有趣的。那段日子是我生命中的黑暗岁月，我不知道它是否代表童话故事里需要历经的磨难，更不知道自己还要在黑暗中走多久。很长一段时间里，前面留给我的只是希望，而不是现实。
You get what you tolerate.
优秀的领导者不能只有应对危机的计划，更要有一个主动的规划。
在诗歌的花园里，每一朵花都是一个词，每一个词都是一朵花。
Success is not accidental, but inevitable.
我认为这是写作中最重要的单一事情：它使熟悉的事物变得陌生，使陌生的事物变得熟悉。
我是核心。我是宇宙的中心。
