Architecture is not just about aesthetics; it's about how people use and experience the space.

The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.

Flourishing rests on five pillars: positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment.

"You can't control everything. Sometimes you just need to relax and have faith that things will work out. Let go a little and just let life happen."

如果你不能诚实地面对自己，你也就无法诚实地面对他人。
