We tend to overestimate what we can do in a day, and underestimate what we can achieve in a decade. Miraculous things can be accomplished if you give it ten years. A long game will compound small gains to overcome even big mistakes.
人们总是倾向于高估一天能达成的事情,而低估十年能取得的成就。奇迹常常可以在十年的尺度上发生。长期主义能够实现的小进展的持续积累的复利,足以超越哪怕巨大的失误。
The pursuit of knowledge is the most noble of human endeavors.
写作是理解我们在历史中位置的一种方式。
The world is full of small kindnesses, if you know where to look.
译文:做任何事只要恪守规范,坚守底线,就一定不会出大错;一生只要丰衣足食,就可称得上小康之家。赏析:谨言慎行,恪守底线,是做人的原则。无病无痛,饿有饭菜吃,冷有衣服穿,这也许就是人生最大的幸福。
