It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
我一直觉得奇怪……我们钦佩的那些品质,如善良、慷慨、开放、诚实、理解和同情,在我们的体系中往往是失败的伴随物。而我们厌恶的那些特质,如精明、贪婪、占有欲、卑鄙、自负和自私,却是成功的特质。虽然人们钦佩前者的品质,但他们却喜欢后者的产物。
我不在乎名声或金钱。我在乎的是音乐。

Diversity in thought and background leads to better decision-making and more creative solutions.
"Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there’s a tomorrow. Maybe for you there’s one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through your fingers. So much time you can waste it. But for some of us there’s only today. And the truth is, you never really know."
Without patience, you cannot learn anything.
The past is never dead. It's not even past.
