The road to success is always under construction.

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.

哲学的功能是在作为统治阶级武器的科学思想和作为无产阶级武器的科学思想之间划清界限。

译文：心能明辨是非，就能快速而又果断处理事情；不忘记礼义廉耻，做人就会一身正气，不与卑污的人同流合污。
