常常，我们对一个成功人生的想象，不是来自我们自己，而是来自他人。如果你是个男人，你会以父亲做榜样，如果你是个女人，你会以母亲做榜样，精神分析已经重复说了80年，但很少有人真正听进去。但我的确相信这件事。
And the thing about a successful life is that a lot of the time, our ideas of what it would mean to live successfully are not our own. They're sucked in from other people; chiefly, if you're a man, your father, and if you're a woman, your mother. Psychoanalysis has been drumming home this message for about 80 years. No one's quite listening hard enough, but I very much believe it's true.
成功是知道你的生活目标，成长以发挥你的最大潜力，并播下造福他人的种子。
人们为了被认可，会去认可别人。
国君若真的希望人口多而不希望人口少的话，如果要蓄养姬妾，就不能不节制。［说明∶老百姓也得有老婆生孩子，别抢人家的老婆］
