You can't control everything. Sometimes you just need to relax and have faith that things will work out. Let go a little and just let life happen.

你无法控制一切。有时候你只需要放松并相信事情会好起来。放手一点，让生活发生。

史蒂薇·妮克丝

那些孤独，寂寞，伤痕，死亡。别离，思念，等待，稍纵即逝的温情和绵延永恒的绝望，如同夜色中一支华美的骊歌。

I have a vivid memory of what happened， and it was not what I expected. I expected to be applauded for my cleverness and arithmetic skills. "Jeff， you're so smart. You had to have made some tricky estimates， figure out the number of minutes in a year and do some division." That's not what happened. Instead， my grandmother burst into tears. I sat in the backseat and did not know what to do. While my grandmother sat crying， my grandfather， who had been driving in silence， pulled over onto the shoulder of the highway. He got out of the car and came around and opened my door and waited for me to follow. Was I in trouble？ My grandfather was a highly intelligent， quiet man. He had never said a harsh word to me， and maybe this was to be the first time？ Or maybe he would ask that I get back in the car and apologize to my grandmother. I had no experience in this realm with my grandparents and no way to gauge what the consequences might be. We stopped beside the trailer. My grandfather looked at me， and after a bit of silence， he gently and calmly said， "Jeff， one day you'll understand that it's harder to be kind than clever."

我清晰地记得接下来发生了什么，而那是我意料之外的。我本期待着小聪明和算术技巧能赢得掌声，但那并没有发生。相反，我的祖母哭泣起来。我的祖父之前一直在默默开车，把车停在了路边，走下车来，打开了我的车门，等着我跟他下车。我惹麻烦了吗？我的祖父是一个智慧而安静的人。他从来没有对我说过严厉的话，难道这会是第一次？还是他会让我回到车上跟祖母道歉？我以前从未遇到过这种状况，因而也无从知晓会有什么后果发生。我们在房车旁停下来。祖父注视着我，沉默片刻，然后轻轻地、平静地说："杰夫，有一天你会明白，善良比聪明更难。"

致富不在于你是否能做一些别人无法去做的事情。致富是按照正确的方式做事的结果。

The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.

建造和创造之间的区别在于：建造的东西只能在完成后被爱，而创造的东西在存在之前就被爱了。

查尔斯·狄更斯

生命爆炸的开端并没有思想、创造力或意图的存在，只有化学。尽管如此，但只要拥有自我复制能力的化学物质碰巧发展起来，就会存在一种自动倾向，以不那么成功的变种为代价，换取更为成功的变种在群体中的出现频率不断提升。

The thing about human beings is that they're capable of anything.
