这些年我过得一塌糊涂。

You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait. Do not even wait, be quite still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

The world needs more scientists who think like engineers, and more engineers who think like scientists.

十分的聪明只用七分就可以了，剩下三分留给子孙；如果要将十分聪明全都使出来，反而会适得其反，近的害了自己，远的害了儿孙。

The dialogue between old and new is what gives a city its richness.
