The greatest gift you can give someone is your time.
"The past is never dead. It's not even past."
The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds.
译文：事物众多而智慧有限，有限的智慧不能遍知所有的事物，所以应该顺应事物的本性来治理它们。
At a restaurant do you order what you know is great， or do you try something new？ Do you make what you know will sell or try something new？ Do you keep dating new folks or try to commit to someone you already met？ The optimal balance for exploring new things vs exploiting them once found is: 1/3. Spend 1/3 of your time on exploring and 2/3 time on deepening. It is harder to devote time to exploring as you age because it seems unproductive， but aim for 1/3.
Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear.
Here's an insight that I've had about success: You can't be successful at everything. We hear a lot of talk about work-life balance. Nonsense. You can't have it all. You can't. So any vision of success has to admit what it's losing out on, where the element of loss is. And I think any wise life will accept, as I say, that there is going to be an element where we're not succeeding.
