I'm not a perfectionist, but I like to feel that things are done well.

The nightmare thought is that frightening people is the best way to get work out of them, and that somehow the crueler the environment, the more people will rise to the challenge. You want to think, who would you like as your ideal dad? And your ideal dad is somebody who is tough but gentle. And it's a very hard line to make. We need fathers, as it were, the exemplary father figures in society, avoiding the two extremes, which is the authoritarian disciplinarian on the one hand, and on the other, the lax, no-rules option.

谦虚：向苏格拉底和耶稣学习。

与人相处，不能任性，要了解人情；行事也不能固执，要明白事理。

"The more you try to control the game, the more it controls you."
