【译文】 孔子说：“我不是天生就有学问的，只是个喜欢读书、勤奋敏捷地追求知识的人。”

Looking back at the 21-year-old that I was at graduation, is a slightly uncomfortable experience for the 42-year-old that she has become. Half my lifetime ago, I was striking an uneasy balance between the ambition I had for myself, and what those closest to me expected of me.

记忆是我们以为已经忘记的东西；它是我们已经忘记自己忘记了的东西。
