I'm just trying to be the best version of myself.

And the thing about a successful life is that a lot of the time, our ideas of what it would mean to live successfully are not our own. They're sucked in from other people; chiefly, if you're a man, your father, and if you're a woman, your mother. Psychoanalysis has been drumming home this message for about 80 years. No one's quite listening hard enough, but I very much believe it's true.

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.

君子心中常常体会到的不是人情而是天理；君子口中所常说的不是人伦世故而是世间法理；君子常有的行为不是规矩而是行为的原则。

成功绝非偶然。它是努力、坚持、学习、研究、牺牲，最重要的是热爱你所做的事情。
