现实并非发生在我们身上的事，而是我们如何处理那些发生的事。

"Don’t try to make life a mathematics problem with yourself in the center and everything coming out equal. When you’re good, bad things can still happen. And if you’re bad, you can still be lucky."
The secret of life is not just to survive, but to thrive with passion, compassion, humor, and style.

No one ever gets far unless he accomplishes the impossible at least once a day.
