写作中最持久的是风格,而风格是作家能用时间做出的最有价值的投资。
这太有意思了。我想很多人,很多作家,老是想尽办法在他们的写作任务中反复其他人可能已经写过的东西,而不是真实记录正在发生的一些事情。科比说,我跟其他人没什么差别。篮球对于我来说,是一场我要尽可能努力做到最好的比赛。而我理解那是一场比赛。我是很外向的。人们说我很寡言,那简直胡说。他们显然就不了解我嘛。因此,那些了解我,跟我交流的人知道我跟那些报道中的完全不一样。事实上很多人也会这样跟我说,‘你跟我想象中的完全不同。
At that age, I'd take any excuse to make estimates and do minor arithmetic. I'd calculate our gas mileage -- figure out useless statistics on things like grocery spending. I'd been hearing an ad campaign about smoking. I can't remember the details, but basically the ad said, every puff of a cigarette takes some number of minutes off of your life: I think it might have been two minutes per puff. At any rate, I decided to do the math for my grandmother. I estimated the number of cigarettes per days, estimated the number of puffs per cigarette and so on. When I was satisfied that I'd come up with a reasonable number, I poked my head into the front of the car, tapped my grandmother on the shoulder, and proudly proclaimed, "At two minutes per puff, you've taken nine years off your life!"
