《了不起的盖茨比》提醒我们：“当你想要批评别人的时候，要知道，并不是所有人，都有你拥有的那些优越条件”。

"I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something."

我希望在即将到来的这一年里，你会犯错误。因为如果你在犯错误，那么你就在创造新事物，尝试新事物，学习，生活，推动自己，改变自己，改变你的世界。你在做你以前从未做过的事情，更重要的是，你在做一些事情。

尼尔·盖曼

认识了的全部意义的人，才不会随便死去，哪怕只有一点机会，就不会放弃生活。

海涅

云气恍堆窗里岫，绝胜看山；泉声疑泻竹间樽，贤于对酒。杖底唯云，囊中唯月，不劳关市之讥；石笥藏书，池塘洗墨，岂供山泽之税。

很多人不敢说出他们想要什么。这就是他们得不到的原因。

A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That's why they don't get what they want.

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.

我当时在纽约一家金融公司工作，同事是一群非常聪明的人，我的老板也很有智慧，我很羡慕他。我告诉我的老板我想开办一家在网上卖书的公司。他带我在中央公园漫步良久，认真地听我讲完，最后说："听起来真是一个很好的主意，但是对那些目前没有谋到一份好工作的人来说，这个主意会更好。"这一逻辑对我而言颇有道理，他说服我在最终作出决定之前再考虑48小时。那样想来，这个决定确实很艰难，但是最终，我决定拼一次。我认为自己不会为尝试过后的失败而遗憾，倒是有所决定但完全不付诸行动会一直煎熬着我。在深思熟虑之后，我选择了那条不安全的道路，去追随我内心的热情。我为那个决定感到骄傲。

变坏的绝不是新生的一代，只有在年长的人已经腐化之后，他们才会败坏下去。

北极仅有一盏路灯，南极也只有一盏；唯独北极的点灯人和他南极的同行，过着闲逸、懒散的生活：他们每年只工作两次。
