I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people， and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park， listened carefully to me， and finally said， "That sounds like a really good idea， but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job." That logic made some sense to me， and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light， it really was a difficult choice， but ultimately， I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. After much consideration， I took the less safe path to follow my passion， and I'm proud of that choice.

没有压力，就没有钻石。

Love is the bridge between you and everything.

保持心情愉悦，就是人生的一大智慧。看到的东西不那么养眼也觉得可饱眼福，听的音乐不怎么好听也觉得可以享受，只吃蔬菜就能满足口腹之欲，穿的、住的很粗糙也能满足身体的需要。人穷一时，但心不穷，真正的穷养富养或许不完全是物质方面的，即使物质生活条件差，只要保持积极乐观的心态，心情保持愉快，可以弥补物质上的不足。正如孔子赞扬颜回“一箪食，一瓢饮，回也不改其乐”。

Our fans are our strength.

我喜欢争论，我喜欢辩论，我不希望任何人只是坐在我边上，同意我的观点，这不是他们的工作。
