We tend to overestimate what we can do in a day, and underestimate what we can achieve in a decade. Miraculous things can be accomplished if you give it ten years. A long game will compound small gains to overcome even big mistakes.
人们总是倾向于高估一天能达成的事情,而低估十年能取得的成就。奇迹常常可以在十年的尺度上发生。长期主义能够实现的小进展的持续积累的复利,足以超越哪怕巨大的失误。
The best way to be happy is to be grateful.
慈悲:开始在家里,并通常保持在那里。
The great walks with the small without fear. The middling keeps aloof.
——发表《中国国民党北伐宣言》,1924年9月18日
