在生活中取得成功的方法是既不要抱怨也不要摸索，而是要尝试。

I'm a failed poet. Maybe every novelist wants to write poetry first, finds he can't and then tries the short story which is the most demanding form after poetry. And failing at that, only then does he turn to the novel.

好奇是智慧的开端。

If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative.
