今日你变得像比尔-盖茨一样，有钱又出名的机会，大概就跟你在十七世纪，成为法国贵族一样困难。但重点是，感觉却差别很大。今日的杂志和其它媒体让我们感觉，只要你有冲劲、对科技有一些新颖的想法，再加上一个车库，你就可以踏上比尔的道路。
It's probably as unlikely that you would nowadays become as rich and famous as Bill Gates, as it was unlikely in the17th century that you would accede to the ranks of the French aristocracy. But the point is, it doesn't feel that way. It's made to feel, by magazines and other media outlets, that if you've got energy, a few bright ideas about technology, a garage -- you, too, could start a major thing.
书写一生就是给予它第二次机会。
译文：修炼自己，第一要务是清心寡欲，为人处世，首先要做到谨言慎行。赏析：人要学会克制己欲，欲望过多，烦恼就多。什么都想得到，最后什么都得不到。放一颗平常心，或许就有意想不到的收获。处世戒多言，言多必有失。说话过多，就会出错，从而得罪别人。
