Don’t take it personally when someone turns you down. Assume they are like you: busy， occupied， distracted. Try again later. It’s amazing how often a second try works.
当别人拒绝你的时候，不要在意。假设他们和你一样：忙碌、没时间、注意力分散。稍后再试一次，很神奇，第二次尝试往往会成功。
"The act of writing is an act of optimism. You wouldn't take the trouble to do it if you felt it didn't matter."
The truth is, we are all capable of turning our backs on the truth.
心不是一个隐喻。
