Success is a journey, not a destination.
The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.
你不能像那个站在水滑梯顶端过度思考的孩子。你必须滑下去。
Life seems to go on without effort when I am filled with music. ― George Eliot, The Mill on the Floss
