你们进行一些小小的形式改变，却为事物本质的东西所羁绊。正如你们在与一个非常老练有技巧的对手作战，自以为得计，自以为用计可战而生之，却不幸被其将计就计，反为其束缚，反受其害。

怀特海

按照当下对成功的理解，我们这拨人可能是成功的。但是时间太短了，再坚持20年才可以做结论，今后20年还有什么变化，谁也不知道。现在所谓的成功都是阶段性成功，要一代延续一代，中国梦才是成立的。

冯仑

经验虽然告诉我们某物是如此这般的状况，但并不告诉我们它不能是另外的状况。

康德

臣闻之，以谋胜国者，益臣之禄；以民力胜国者，益民之利。故上有羡获，下有加利，君上享其名，臣下利其实。故用智者不偷业，用力者不伤苦，此古之善伐者也。

晏子

常常有扎根太深的思想，无法用眼泪冲刷掉！

弗洛伊德

I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people， and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park， listened carefully to me， and finally said， "That sounds like a really good idea， but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job." That logic made some sense to me， and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light， it really was a difficult choice， but ultimately， I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. After much consideration， I took the less safe path to follow my passion， and I'm proud of that choice.

我当时在纽约一家金融公司工作，同事是一群非常聪明的人，我的老板也很有智慧，我很羡慕他。我告诉我的老板我想开办一家在网上卖书的公司。他带我在中央公园漫步良久，认真地听我讲完，最后说："听起来真是一个很好的主意，但是对那些目前没有谋到一份好工作的人来说，这个主意会更好。"这一逻辑对我而言颇有道理，他说服我在最终作出决定之前再考虑48小时。那样想来，这个决定确实很艰难，但是最终，我决定拼一次。我认为自己不会为尝试过后的失败而遗憾，倒是有所决定但完全不付诸行动会一直煎熬着我。在深思熟虑之后，我选择了那条不安全的道路，去追随我内心的热情。我为那个决定感到骄傲。
