我想提醒读者，学问和有组织的教育不是一回事儿。 - 每日文摘

你知道得越多，理解得越少。

The more you know, the less you understand.

无论去到多远多远，最后我们都是回到这里。

你一定可以找到一个无所事事的下午，就像你好多年前放学后无所事事的下午一样，陪着孩子翻一本书，聊一些童年成长的故事，让他感受到在当年的那个情况下，他的妈妈他的爸爸也是一个，喜欢山水，寄情于自然的人。

董宇辉

你说过得到胜利是很好的，是么？我告诉你失败也很好，打败仗者跟打胜仗者具有同样的精神。

无所畏惧者与具有威慑力量的人同样刚强。

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

理解变化的唯一方法是投入其中，随之而动，并加入舞蹈。

约翰·麦卡锡

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！"
