That neither our thoughts， nor passions， nor ideas formed by the imagination， exist without the mind， is what every body will allow.

每个人都会承认，我们的思维、情感和想象力产生的观念，都是在心灵中存在的。

乔治·贝克莱

你必须弄清楚你自己的天赋是什么。如果你玩的游戏是别人有天赋而你没有的，你就会输。这几乎是你能做出的任何预测中最接近确定的。你必须弄清楚你在哪里有优势。你必须在你自己的能力圈内玩。

You have to figure out what your own aptitudes are. If you play games where other people have the aptitudes and you don’t, you’re going to lose. And that’s as close to certain as any prediction that you can make. You have to figure out where you’ve got an edge. And you’ve got to play within your own circle of competence.

查理·芒格

For me they normally happen, these career crises, often, actually, on a Sunday evening, just as the sun is starting to set, and the gap between my hopes for myself and the reality of my life starts to diverge so painfully that I normally end up weeping into a pillow.

我经常对事业感到恐慌，周日下午，晚霞洒满天空，我的理想和现实的差距却是这样残酷，令我沮丧的只想抱头痛哭。

阿兰·德波顿

正路并不一定就是一条平平坦坦的直路，难免有些曲折和崎岖险阻，要绕一些弯，甚至难免误入歧途。

朱光潜

有些事情太严肃了，你不得不笑对它们。

There are some things so serious you have to laugh at them.

尼尔斯·玻尔

小人生来就具有祸患和耻辱，肚里怀着邪恶出生，心里怀着奸诈与人交往，整个身体都浸泡在累害之中，怎么谈得上是惹祸招耻！

王充

Sustainability is not an option; it's a necessity for the future of agriculture.
