这就是为什么我们如此在乎事业和成就，以及看重金钱和物质的原因。我们时常被告知我们处在一个物质挂帅的时代，我们都是贪婪的人。我并不认为我们特别看重物质，而是活在一个物质能带来大量情感反馈的时代。
我们惺惺相惜注定天生一对。
Sometimes you just have to do what’s best for you and your life, not what’s best for everyone else.

挑战是伪装的机遇；拥抱它们，变得更强大。
I don't think that you have any insight whatsoever into your capacity for good until you have some well-developed insight into your capacity for evil.
