爱是唯一能将敌人转变为朋友的力量。
美貌、青春、财富、甚至爱情本身，都不能让深得上帝恩宠的人免于焦虑和痛苦，远离哀愁，也无法让他们避免失去自己最爱的东西。因为，一生中，有些雨必然得下，一些日子必然会黑暗、哀伤、凄凉。
At a restaurant do you order what you know is great， or do you try something new？ Do you make what you know will sell or try something new？ Do you keep dating new folks or try to commit to someone you already met？ The optimal balance for exploring new things vs exploiting them once found is: 1/3. Spend 1/3 of your time on exploring and 2/3 time on deepening. It is harder to devote time to exploring as you age because it seems unproductive， but aim for 1/3.
