The future isn't written in the stars. There are no guarantees. So claim your adulthood. Be intentional. Get to work. Pick your family. Do the math. Make your own certainty. Don't be defined by what you didn't know or didn't do. You are deciding your life right now.
未来不是写在星星上的。没有保证。所以，认领你的成年。要有意图。开始工作。选择你的家庭。做数学题。创造你自己的确定性。不要被你不知道或没做的事情定义。你现在正在决定你的生活。
The act of writing is an act of optimism. You would not take the trouble to do it if you felt it didn't matter.
The most dangerous poison is the feeling of achievement. The antidote is to think every morning, 'What can be done better?'
To be born again, first you must die.
