译文：读书人本来就不是大富大贵的命，得意时也不必炫耀锦衣玉食。
The future isn't written in the stars. There are no guarantees. So claim your adulthood. Be intentional. Get to work. Pick your family. Do the math. Make your own certainty. Don't be defined by what you didn't know or didn't do.
不要被信条所惑，盲从信条是活在别人的生活里。不要让任何人的意见淹没了你内在的心声。
The essential thing in life is not so much conquering as fighting well.
Because I'm your mom, it counts the most because I know you the most.
