Loneliness does not come from having no people around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you.
孤独并不是来自身边无人。感到孤独的真正原因是因为一个人无法与他人交流对其最要紧的感受。
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.
我不相信退休。我相信只要你有能力，就应该继续工作。
As a kid， I spent my summers with my grandparents on their ranch in Texas. I helped fix windmills， vaccinate cattle， and do other chores. We also watched soap operas every afternoon， especially "Days of our Lives." My grandparents belonged to a Caravan Club， a group of Airstream trailer owners who travel together around the U.S. and Canada. And every few summers， we'd join the caravan. We'd hitch up the Airstream trailer to my grandfather's car， and off we'd go， in a line with 300 other Airstream adventurers. I loved and worshipped my grandparents and I really looked forward to these trips. On one particular trip， I was about 10 years old. I was rolling around in the big bench seat in the back of the car. My grandfather was driving. And my grandmother had the passenger seat. She smoked throughout these trips， and I hated the smell.
我不会继续敲那扇不为我打开的老门。我要创造自己的门，然后走进去。
我喜欢竞争。我喜欢那种刺激感。我喜欢挑战。我喜欢压力。
