Is there any relief from some of thesepressures that I've been outlining? I think there is. I just want to turn to afew of them. Let's take meritocracy. This idea that everybody deserves to getwhere they get to, I think it's a crazy idea, completely crazy. I will support any politician of Left and Right, with any halfway-decent meritocratic idea; I am a meritocrat in that sense. But I think it's insane to believe that we will ever make a society that is genuinely meritocratic; it's an impossible dream.

不要走在我后面，因为我可能不会引路；不要走在我前面，因为我可能不会跟随；请走在我的身边，做我的朋友。

"The universe is asymmetric and I am persuaded that life, as it is known to us, is a direct result of the asymmetry of the universe or of its indirect consequences."

想治理国家，首先要先去治民。治民要先正己，做好治家的工作，把自家子弟教育好了，自己就会以身作则；只有做到先正自己，才能在治民方面起到带头作用。只有先做好自己，才能为别人带好头和榜样；只有先身体力行才能有好作用榜样示范作用。这才是真正有意义的治理国家的好方法。只有先立好自己的身才能对社会起到好的表率作用。

I'm not a talk, I'm a song.

You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress simultaneously.

The only way to do great work is to love what you do.
