我一直在谈论成功和失败。成功的有趣之处是，我们时常以为我们知道成功是什么，如果我现在说，这个屏幕后面站着一个非常成功的人，你心里马上就会产生一些想法。你会想，这个人可能很有钱，在某些领域赫赫有名，我对成功的理解是。首先，我是一个对成功非常有兴趣的人，我想要成功，我总是想着“要怎样我才能更成功？”，但当我渐渐长大，我越来越疑惑，究竟什么是“成功”的真正意义。

What I think I've been talking about really is success and failure. And one of the interesting things about success is that we think we know what it means. If I said that there's somebody behind the screen who's very successful, certain ideas would immediately come to mind. You'd think that person might have made a lot of money, achieved renown in some field. My own theory of success -- I'm somebody who's very interested in success, I really want to be successful, always thinking, how can I be more successful? But as I get older, I'm also very nuanced about what that word "success" might mean.

法默学到了三件对于预测未来非常重要的事情：首先，你可以抽取混沌系统内在的固有模式，取得良好的预测；其次，进行一次有用的预测用不着看得太远；第三，即使是一点点有关未来的信息，也是非常有价值的。

硬要纠正孩子有违习惯表达的各种小错误，实在是一种要不得的迂腐做法，对细节的这种关注也完全是多余的，没有必要，因为孩子总是会随着时间的推移自行纠正那些问题。我们要做的是，在他们面前说话总是力求正确，让他们觉得和你在一起比和任何人在一起都要开心，而且要相信他们会在不知不觉中模仿你说话，不需要你对他们进行任何纠正。
