我曾听说过这样一个说法：快乐就是拥有健康和短暂的记忆。我多么希望这是我发明的，因为说得太对了。 - 每日文摘

The nightmare thought is that frightening people is the best way to get work out of them, and that somehow the crueler the environment, the more people will rise to the challenge. You want to think, who would you like as your ideal dad? And your ideal dad is somebody who is tough but gentle. And it's a very hard line to make. We need fathers, as it were, the exemplary father figures in society, avoiding the two extremes, which is the authoritarian disciplinarian on the one hand, and on the other, the lax, no-rules option.

梦魇是相信恐吓人们是刺激他们发奋的最好办法，或是环境越残酷，就会有越多人接受挑战。你必须想，你的理想父亲是怎样的？你的理想父亲往往是严厉又温和的，虽然这界限很难画定，我们社会需要的模范性人物是像一个理想父亲，不要走极端，不要完全集权、纯粹纪律，也不要模糊马虎，乱无规章。

我不完美，但我对你来说是完美的。

I'm not perfect, but I'm perfect for you.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

马丁路德金

当获得一些成功，你很可能会犯“顶替者综合症”（觉得自己名不副实）。“我在愚弄谁呢？” 但当你创造出只有你以独特才干和经验才能做到的事情时，那么你绝对不是冒牌货，这是天命所归。持续去做只有你才能做出来的事情吧，这是你的使命。

When you have some success， the feeling of being an imposter can be real. Who am I fooling？ But when you create things that only you — with your unique talents and experience — can do， then you are absolutely not an imposter. You are the ordained. It is your duty to work on things that only you can do.
