I think it's important to stay true to yourself and your values, no matter what.

真実はいつも一つではない。

Not necessarily your mother, or indeed mine, but, as it were, the ideal mother, somebody who doesn't care about your achievements. Unfortunately, most people are not our mothers. Most people make a strict correlation between how much time, and if you like, love -- not romantic love, though that may be something -- but love in general, respect --they are willing to accord us, that will be strictly defined by our position in the social hierarchy.

I always try to be better than I was yesterday.

海洋不仅仅是一种资源——在利用其潜力的同时，保护它是我们的责任。
