"To write is to embark on a journey without knowing the destination."
写作就是踏上一段不知道目的地的旅程。
Don’t take it personally when someone turns you down. Assume they are like you: busy， occupied， distracted. Try again later. It’s amazing how often a second try works.
读书人要为子孙营造福祉而不是祈求福祉。严谨家规，崇尚俭朴，教导耕田读书，累积陰德，这就是营造福祉。广积土地房屋，拉拢关系争取利益，买卖功名，这就是求福祉。营造福祉的，平淡而长久；祈求福祉的，浓郁却短暂。
"Books are the mirrors that reflect our souls."
