才华和优雅如果掌握得有分寸，总在一个人的举止和谈吐中被人觉察到，但是无需炫示出来。正像不必把你的帽子、裙子和缎带一下都穿戴上，为的是让别人知道你拥有这些东西。

我记得我的朋友约翰尼·冯·诺伊曼曾经说过，“用四个参数我可以拟合一头大象，用五个我可以让它摆动它的鼻子。”

You have to figure out what your own aptitudes are. If you play games where other people have the aptitudes and you don’t, you’re going to lose. And that’s as close to certain as any prediction that you can make. You have to figure out where you’ve got an edge. And you’ve got to play within your own circle of competence.

写作是为了抵抗世界的喧嚣。

我只是享受当下。
