你必须独立思考。我常常惊讶于:一些智商极高的人在市场上无意识的跟随大众。我从没通过和别人谈话得到过好的主意。

Never ask a barber if you need a haircut.
What we learn from history is that people don't learn from history.
The fact that people are full of greed, fear, or folly is predictable. The sequence is not predictable.

A public-opinion poll is no substitute for thought.
