The consequences of this problem make themselves felt in bookshops. When you go to a large bookshop and look at the self-help sections, as I sometimes do -- if you analyze self-help book sproduced in the world today, there are basically two kinds. The first kind tells you, "You can do it! You can make it! Anything's possible!" The other kind tells you how to cope with what we politely call "low self-esteem," or impolitely call, "feeling very bad about yourself."
我们可以从书店中感受到这些问题所造成的后果，当你像我一样到大型书店里的，自我帮助书籍类。如果你分析现在出版的这些自我帮助类书籍，它们基本上分成两种，第一种告诉你“你做得到！你能成功！没有不可能！”另外一种则教导你如何处理，我们婉转地称呼为“缺乏自信”，或是直接了当地称为“自我感觉极差”。
我们今天所做的选择将在未来几代人的生活中回响。
La buena literatura es eternamente subversiva.
We have to be willing to change and adapt to the new reality.
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Love yourself enough to walk away from anything that doesn't serve you.
在冬天的深处，我发现我内心有一个不可战胜的夏天。
