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。
哲学史不是思想的博物馆，而是批判性思维的生命传统。
I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship.
事实是我是个真正的完美主义者，这让我自己抓狂。
I like honest men of all colors.
荀子强调积累，不迈出小小的半步就走不了千里路，不从小水流开始汇集就成不了大江大海。再好的马只跑一步，也比不上资质不好的马努力地跑。不注重积累，哪怕朽木头也折不断，坚持不懈地做，金石也能镂空。后天的积累能弥补先天的不足，要成功，就得做苦行的功夫！
Where liberty dwells, there is my country.
