我会告诉二十多岁的人不要满足于一份工作、一个职业甚至一个事业。寻找一个使命。即使你不知道那意味着什么，也要寻找它。如果你在追随你的使命，疲劳会更容易忍受，失望会成为燃料，高潮会是你从未感受过的。
I’d tell men and women in their mid-twenties not to settle for a job or a profession or even a career. Seek a calling. Even if you don’t know what that means, seek it. If you’re following your calling, the fatigue will be easier to bear, the disappointments will be fuel, the highs will be like nothing you’ve ever felt.
"All the other children at my school are stupid. Except I’m not meant to call them stupid, even though this is what they are."
打开纠缠在一起的绳结的最好方法，不是要去「解开」绳结，而是要不断地把松动的部分拉得更宽。尽可能把那团乱麻弄大、弄松、弄开。当你打开绳结的时候，它们就会自行解开。这招适用于绳索、线、软管、毛线或者电线。
The best way to untangle a knotty tangle is not to “untie” the knots， but to keep pulling the loops apart wider and wider. Just make the mess as big， loose and open as possible. As you open up the knots they will unravel themselves. Works on cords， strings， hoses， yarns， or electronic cables.
Instead of complaining about the darkness, light a candle.
