我的国家最伟大的东西不是恒河水，不是泰姬陵，也不是喜马拉雅山，而是它是世界上最大的民主国家。

The greatest thing to come out of my country is not Ganges water, or the Taj Mahal, or the Himalayas, but the fact that it is the world's largest democracy.

争论时，有一个很好的经验法则：使用“我陈述句”，而不是用“你陈述句”。

水果产业要发展，必须从种植源头抓起，品质是生命线。

穿得再好，别人只会多看你一眼；书读得漂亮，别人就会高看你一生。父母的背景是你的背景，而学历是你的前景。读书能让你拥有更广阔的视野和更高雅的气质。

学历有上限，不是越高越好；其次是动手能力强；此外，人际关系还要和谐。智力比知识重要，素质比智力重要，觉悟比素质重要。

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！"
