The most damaging phrase in the language is: 'It's always been done this way.'
I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up and boy does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you.
I've learned that you can't have everything and do everything at the same time.
译文:我衰老得太厉害了!感慨平生交游的朋友渐渐零落,如今还剩下几个?白发空自垂下三千丈,对人间万事只能付之一笑。试问什么事物能让我真正欢喜?
