A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery. - 每日文摘

我不认为你应该花很多时间为坏运气而不开心。你会遇到很多，但你也会遇到很多好的。要做的事情就是尽量增加利用好运的几率，尽量减少坏运的影响。

I don’t think you should spend much time being unhappy about the bad breaks. You get a lot of them, but you also get a lot of good ones. The thing to do is just to maximize your odds of using the good ones and minimizing the effects of the bad ones.

查理·芒格

如果有一个神，那么，恶从何处来，如果没有，善又从何处来。

伊壁鸠鲁

很多人，正是因为没有目标才不停地“学习”。

李笑来

努力是为了自己，也是为了家人。

麦哲伦

“你离我有多远呢，果实呀？”“我是藏在你的心里呢，花呀。”

泰戈尔

There's a real correlation between a society that tells people that they can do anything, and the existence of low self-esteem. So that's another way in which something quite positive can have a nasty kickback. There is another reason why we might be feeling more anxious --about our careers, about our status in the world today, than ever before. And it's, again, linked to something nice. And that nice thing is called meritocracy.

这两者中间有着绝对的关联，一个告诉人们他们无所不能的社会，和缺乏自信有着绝对的关联。另一件好事也会带来坏影响的例子，还有一些其它原因造成我们对事业，对我们在世上的地位感到前所未有的焦虑，再一次地，它也和好的概念有关，这个好概念叫做“功绩主义”。

阿兰·德波顿

真正的友谊不是在顺境中欢笑，而是在逆境里并肩，能共患难的情谊才最珍贵。

世界上没有永恒的敌人，也没有永恒的朋友，只有永恒的利益。

丘吉尔

所有的经典都说到，为了获得解脱，人应该让心智安静；所以它们的最终教导就是心智应该被安静下来；一旦理解了这一点，就不需要没完没了地阅读经典了。

All the texts say that in order to gain release one should render the mind quiescent; therefore their conclusive teaching is that the mind should be rendered quiescent; once this has been understood there is no need for endless reading.
