The concept of progress is inseparable from the concept of catastrophe.

We are all prisoners of our own minds, and it is only through self-reflection that we can break free.

译文：修炼自己，第一要务是清心寡欲，为人处世，首先要做到谨言慎行。赏析：人要学会克制己欲，欲望过多，烦恼就多。什么都想得到，最后什么都得不到。放一颗平常心，或许就有意想不到的收获。处世戒多言，言多必有失。说话过多，就会出错，从而得罪别人。

Life is a series of moments, some fleeting, some eternal.

生活是一系列的时刻，有些好，有些坏，但都很重要。

你无法改变过去，但可以通过担心未来来毁掉现在。

It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be intelligent.
