The architect's task is to make the world a more beautiful place.

Productivity is often a distraction. Don’t aim for better ways to get through your tasks as quickly as possible， rather aim for better tasks that you never want to stop doing.

Never underestimate the power of collaboration—great things are rarely achieved alone.

译文：经常想到这个世上还有人的处境不如我，还有人的命运不如我，就该知足感恩了；经常想到有人的德行操守超过我，有人的学问超过我，就该感到惭愧而发愤努力了。赏析：人的欲望是无穷的，也是难以满足的。很少有人做到知足常乐。人总是喜欢和其他人对比物质方面的东西，别人有的，也希望自己有。而学问，德行，却很少有人去反躬自省。

玛雅安吉洛在她的诗歌《我们的祖母们》中这样说。当我在这个世界穿行，我带上自己所有的历史——所有那些帮我铺过路的人都是现在这个我的一部分。

I'm trying to grow up and not let things get to me

"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
