通过分散投资来构建投资组合，不要参与“冲动的市场”。

在脆弱性的情况下，一个人捡了芝麻，却丢了西瓜；而在反脆弱性的情况下则是丢了芝麻，得到了西瓜。因此，在反脆弱性的情况下，你可能在很长时间内反复失败，但不会遭到很大的损失，只要碰巧做对一次就可以大赚；而在脆弱性的情况下，一次损失就可能让人一蹶不振。

我清晰地记得接下来发生了什么，而那是我意料之外的。我本期待着小聪明和算术技巧能赢得掌声，但那并没有发生。相反，我的祖母哭泣起来。我的祖父之前一直在默默开车，把车停在了路边，走下车来，打开了我的车门，等着我跟他下车。我惹麻烦了吗？我的祖父是一个智慧而安静的人。他从来没有对我说过严厉的话，难道这会是第一次？还是他会让我回到车上跟祖母道歉？我以前从未遇到过这种状况，因而也无从知晓会有什么后果发生。我们在房车旁停下来。祖父注视着我，沉默片刻，然后轻轻地、平静地说："杰夫，有一天你会明白，善良比聪明更难。"

I have a vivid memory of what happened， and it was not what I expected. I expected to be applauded for my cleverness and arithmetic skills. "Jeff， you're so smart. You had to have made some tricky estimates， figure out the number of minutes in a year and do some division." That's not what happened. Instead， my grandmother burst into tears. I sat in the backseat and did not know what to do. While my grandmother sat crying， my grandfather， who had been driving in silence， pulled over onto the shoulder of the highway. He got out of the car and came around and opened my door and waited for me to follow. Was I in trouble？ My grandfather was a highly intelligent， quiet man. He had never said a harsh word to me， and maybe this was to be the first time？ Or maybe he would ask that I get back in the car and apologize to my grandmother. I had no experience in this realm with my grandparents and no way to gauge what the consequences might be. We stopped beside the trailer. My grandfather looked at me， and after a bit of silence， he gently and calmly said， "Jeff， one day you'll understand that it's harder to be kind than clever."

几乎没有人能够如此明智：对自己做过的所有恶事都能充分认识。

我不考虑年龄。那些告诉我我太老了不能做某事的人，我只是忽略他们。

I don't think about age. People who tell me I'm too old to do something, I just ignore them.

学习是系统中产生的任何变化，这些变化或多或少会永久性地改变其适应环境的能力。

Learning is any change in a system that produces a more or less permanent change in its capacity for adapting to its environment.
