最好的故事是那些为读者留下呼吸空间的故事。
局部和全局现象之间的相互作用是数论中反复出现的主题。
一个瞬间被吸走,被扭曲,不再是自己,失去了它的身体,放弃了它的灵魂。
变化是唯一不变的,而适应能力是蓬勃发展的关键。
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, "That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job." That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I'm proud of that choice.
A farmer’s greatest asset is patience—nature does not rush, yet everything is accomplished.
你必须愿意失败,愿意犯错,愿意看起来愚蠢。
