勿以己之长而盖人;勿以己之善而形人;勿以己之多能而困人。收敛才智,若无若虚。
译文:别人不如自己的地方,不可以拿出来,在他面前卖弄;别人做不了的善事,不能因自己做过而拿出来炫耀;别人能力比不上我,不能拿来难为别人、压制别人;即使自己很有才华,也要懂得收敛起来,不要招摇,做到看起来很平凡。

最好的故事是那些挑战我们认知的故事。
我们应该用结果来衡量成功,而不仅仅是投入。
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.
