Life is too short to be anything but happy.

Nowadays, particularly in the United States, if you meet someone at the bottom of society, they may unkindly be described as a "loser." There's a real difference between an unfortunate and a loser, and that shows 400 years of evolution in society and our belief in who is responsible for our lives. It's no longer the gods, it's us. We're in the driving seat.

Every decision we make today plants a seed for the forests of tomorrow.

世间万物不可能都完美无缺，可怜那些执着的人总是被忧愁困扰。
