As a kid， I spent my summers with my grandparents on their ranch in Texas. I helped fix windmills， vaccinate cattle， and do other chores. We also watched soap operas every afternoon， especially "Days of our Lives." My grandparents belonged to a Caravan Club， a group of Airstream trailer owners who travel together around the U.S. and Canada. And every few summers， we'd join the caravan. We'd hitch up the Airstream trailer to my grandfather's car， and off we'd go， in a line with 300 other Airstream adventurers. I loved and worshipped my grandparents and I really looked forward to these trips. On one particular trip， I was about 10 years old. I was rolling around in the big bench seat in the back of the car. My grandfather was driving. And my grandmother had the passenger seat. She smoked throughout these trips， and I hated the smell.

创新不是对一切都说“是”，而是对除最关键功能外的一切说“不”。

The future is not something we enter. The future is something we create.

善良高尚的人，在贫穷而没有能力去用物质接济别人的情况下，如果遇到别人有迷惑犯傻的地方，能用一句好话来提醒他们；遇到别人有着急和作难的地方，能用一句好话来解救他们，那么他的功业与德行同样是无法计算的。

最好的报复就是继续前进，放下过去。

粮食安全的未来就在波涛之下，我们必须负责任地利用它。
