I think that the most important thing is to be grateful for what you have.

"Love is or it ain't. Thin love ain't love at all."

The best scientists are those who remain students forever.

I don’t want to be better than anybody else. I just want to be better than I was yesterday.

"The truth is rarely pure and never simple."

At a restaurant do you order what you know is great， or do you try something new？ Do you make what you know will sell or try something new？ Do you keep dating new folks or try to commit to someone you already met？ The optimal balance for exploring new things vs exploiting them once found is: 1/3. Spend 1/3 of your time on exploring and 2/3 time on deepening. It is harder to devote time to exploring as you age because it seems unproductive， but aim for 1/3.

译文：一个人的脾气性格不平和，无论是做事还是做学问，都不可能有上进；一个人油嘴滑舌，夸夸其谈，那么这个人的品质和心术就值得怀疑了。赏析：不论是做事还是做学问，一定要平心定气，心无二用，方能有所成就。伶牙俐齿本不是坏事，但油嘴滑舌，言过其实，这样的人就应该警惕。
