If you want to get smart, the question you have to keep asking is 'why, why, why?'
如果你想变得聪明,你需要不断问的问题是‘为什么,为什么,为什么?’
And what I noted, since the really big ideas carry 95 percent of the freight, it wasn’t at all that hard for me to pick up all the big ideas and all the big disciplines and make them a standard part of my mental routines. Once you have the ideas, of course, they are no good if you don’t practice. You don’t practice, you lose it.
In my whole life, I have known no wise people who didn’t read all the time - none, zero.
