写作是抵抗历史的抹去。

A good algorithm is like a sharp knife—it does exactly what it is supposed to do with a minimum of applied effort.

Cleverness is a gift， kindness is a choice.

我一直觉得奇怪……我们钦佩的那些品质，如善良、慷慨、开放、诚实、理解和同情，在我们的体系中往往是失败的伴随物。而我们厌恶的那些特质，如精明、贪婪、占有欲、卑鄙、自负和自私，却是成功的特质。虽然人们钦佩前者的品质，但他们却喜欢后者的产物。

Don't just fight in the North or the South. Always imagine every battle in your mind, where everyone is both your enemy and your friend, and all possible events happen simultaneously. That way, nothing will take you by surprise, and everything that happens will be something you've already imagined.

Immediately pay what you owe to vendors， workers， contractors. They will go out of their way to work with you first next time.
