Time is a slippery thing: lose hold of it once, and its string might sail out of your hands forever.

Make decisions when you are ready, not under pressure. Others will always push you to make a decision for their own purposes, internal politics, or some other external need. But you can almost always say, “I need a little more time to think about this. I’ll get back to you.” This tactic is very effective at defusing even the most difficult and uncomfortable situations.

"The more you try to control the lie, the more it controls you."

我学校里其他孩子都很蠢。虽然我不应该叫他们蠢，即使他们确实如此。
