The greatest journeys are those that take us back to ourselves.
最伟大的旅程是那些带我们回到自己的旅程。
It’s not about money or connections. It’s the willingness to outwork and outlearn everyone when it comes to your business.
Wealth is not about having a lot of money; it's about having a lot of options.
I don’t sing to be perfect; I sing to connect.
【译文】 宰予白天睡觉。孔子说:“他象朽木一样无法雕琢,象粪墙一样无法粉刷,我能拿他怎样?”孔子又说:“以前我看人,他说什么,我信什么;现在我看人,听他说,再看他做。因为宰予,我改了过来。”
I’m not afraid to be different.
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, "That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job." That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I'm proud of that choice.
