很多关系里的问题，都没有对错，因为他在那里，他是对的。这世界没有真相，只有视角。真正的好关系，是敢于冲突，善于和解。 - 每日文摘

顾全对方的面子。这一点非常重要，在批评他人之前，一定要想到一种好的方式。

未来是我们能够塑造的东西，而不仅仅是发生在我们身上的事情。

The future is something we can shape, not just something that happens to us.

其实人类没有真正自由，少年时我们坐在课室里动弹不得，稍后又步入办公室，无论外头阳光多好，还得超时加班，有几个人可以真正做自己想做的事？

对我来说最好的出路，不是走出去，而是走下去。

你越具体，就越普遍。

The more specific you are, the more universal you become.

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！"

在那样的年纪，我会找任何借口做些估测或者小算术。我会计算油耗还有杂货花销等鸡毛蒜皮的小事。我听过一个有关吸烟的广告。我记不得细节了，但是广告大意是说，每吸一口香烟会减少几分钟的寿命，大概是两分钟。无论如何，我决定为祖母做个算术。我估测了祖母每天要吸几支香烟，每支香烟要吸几口等等，然后心满意足地得出了一个合理的数字。接着，我捅了捅坐在前面的祖母的头，又拍了拍她的肩膀，然后骄傲地宣称，"每天吸两分钟的烟，你就少活九年！"
