The best way to predict the future is to create it.

译文：有权有势的人，即使对至亲好友也会作威作福，可他们哪里知道权势就像过眼云烟一样，转瞬之间就会消亡不见。奸佞邪恶之人，哪怕是在平地也要兴风作浪，他们哪里知道天地间自有神明，不会听他们颠倒黑白的。赏析：当一个人有权有势之后，懂得收敛锋芒，低调做人，未免不是给自己积福。那些奸佞的小人，喜欢无中生有，见风使舵，可这样的人不会猖狂很久，上天自有惩处他们的时候。

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.
