I don't believe in luck, I believe in preparation.

You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for our own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.

【译文】 孔子说：“我十五岁立志于学习，三十岁有所建树，四十岁不困惑，五十理解自然规律，六十明辨是非，七十随心所欲，不违规。”
