And what I noted, since the really big ideas carry 95 percent of the freight, it wasn’t at all that hard for me to pick up all the big ideas and all the big disciplines and make them a standard part of my mental routines. Once you have the ideas, of course, they are no good if you don’t practice. You don’t practice, you lose it.

In the end, we are all stories.

我不相信运气。我相信准备遇到机会。

我步入丛林，因为我希望生活有意义。我希望活得深刻，吸取生命中所有的精华，把非生命的一切都击溃。
