我写作是为了探索语言的边界。

The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives.

At that age， I'd take any excuse to make estimates and do minor arithmetic. I'd calculate our gas mileage -- figure out useless statistics on things like grocery spending. I'd been hearing an ad campaign about smoking. I can't remember the details， but basically the ad said， every puff of a cigarette takes some number of minutes off of your life: I think it might have been two minutes per puff. At any rate， I decided to do the math for my grandmother. I estimated the number of cigarettes per days， estimated the number of puffs per cigarette and so on. When I was satisfied that I'd come up with a reasonable number， I poked my head into the front of the car， tapped my grandmother on the shoulder， and proudly proclaimed， "At two minutes per puff， you've taken nine years off your life！"

快乐的最好方式是感恩。

如果你试图取得成就，就会遇到障碍。我遇到过；每个人都遇到过。但障碍不一定会阻止你。如果你遇到一堵墙，不要转身放弃。想办法爬过去，穿过它，或者绕过它。

我相信个人的就是普遍的。

法律的生命不是逻辑，而是经验。
