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。
人生苦短，不能不冒险。
Every project is an opportunity to discover something new about how we live.
