Writing is the only way I have to explain my own life to myself.
I don’t think that when people grow up, they will become more broad-minded and can accept everything. Conversely, I think it’s a selecting process, knowing what’s the most important and what’s the lest. And then be a simple man.
The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.
与自然规律同频,才能洞察天的法则;看清人与人的差异,才能理解人的本质;感知事物的变化,才能把握时机;经历深层的转化融会,才能领悟道的真谛。
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.
Short-term market fluctuations shouldn't distract us from long-term value creation.
