We don't inherit the oceans from our ancestors; we borrow them from our children.

谨慎坚定善良的本性，则心灵安定；收敛抑制浮燥之气，则心气平和。

如果你觉得要撞车了，那就更用力踩油门。

So what I want to argue for is not that we should give up on our ideas of success, but we should make sure that they are our own. We should focus in on our ideas, and make sure that we own them; that we are truly the authors of our own ambitions. Because it's bad enough not getting what you want, but it's even worse to have an idea of what it is you want, and find out, at the end of the journey, that it isn't, in fact, what you wanted all along.

你如果出色地完成了某件事，那你应该再做一些其他的精彩事儿。不要在前一件事上徘徊太久，想想接下来该做什么。

按惯例，甜是甜的，苦是苦的，热是热的，冷是冷的，颜色是颜色；但实际上只有原子和虚空。

Your passion in life should fit you exactly； but your purpose in life should exceed you. Work for something much larger than yourself.
