So what I want to argue for is not that we should give up on our ideas of success, but we should make sure that they are our own. We should focus in on our ideas, and make sure that we own them; that we are truly the authors of our own ambitions. Because it's bad enough not getting what you want, but it's even worse to have an idea of what it is you want, and find out, at the end of the journey, that it isn't, in fact, what you wanted all along.

我知道有一颗星球上住着一位脸色绯红的先生。他从来没有闻过一朵花，从来没有见过一颗星星，从来没有爱过任何人。他除了做加法以外，没有干过别的事，他整天像你一样，老重复说：我是一个严肃认真的人，我是一个严肃认真的人！

真正的幸福存在于心中。

科学的进步依赖于新技术、新发现和新思想，可能按这个顺序。
