Always plan for the worst and hope for the best.

I’m not perfect, and I don’t pretend to be.

How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life.

我的目标不是比别人更好，而是比过去的自己更好。

不容忍他人的观点（无论他们多么无知或不连贯）不仅仅是错误的；在一个没有对错之分的世界里，情况更糟：这是一个你令人尴尬地不成熟或可能是危险的迹象。
