Before a dream is realized， the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil， but so that we can， in addition to realizing our dreams， master the lessons we've learned as we've moved toward that dream. That's the point at which most people give up. It's the point at which， as we say in the language of the desert， one 'dies of thirst just when the palm trees have appeared on the horizon.'
在梦想实现之前，世界之魂会考验沿途学到的一切。这样做不是因为它邪恶，而是为了让我们在实现梦想的同时，掌握我们在追逐梦想过程中学到的教训。这是大多数人放弃的地方。正如我们在沙漠语言中所说的，那是‘在棕榈树出现在地平线时死于口渴’。
我不是来平庸的。
A book can be a quiet place in a noisy world.
In volatile markets, agility trumps size every time.
The darkest nights produce the brightest stars.
生活中没有什么事情像你在思考它时认为的那么重要。
你必须在内心找到让你与众不同的东西。
我认为所有的写作都是对抗陈词滥调的运动。不仅仅是笔下的陈词滥调，还有思想和心灵中的陈词滥调。
水源会枯竭 但心永不干涸
Success isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being persistent.
现在是过去和未来之间的一座脆弱的桥梁，我们都在努力跨越它而不坠落。
