有趣 / 有料 / 涨知识

人口越多，人口比例越稠密，人民的欲望就越多，人民的虚荣心便越强。越是在人口众多、大多数人之间彼此不认识的社会中，人们出乎其类、拔乎其萃的欲望也就越强烈。人们都想证明自己比别人优秀，以获取别人的尊敬。尊敬也是一个有限的资源，每个人都想获得别人尊敬，结果所有的人都无法获得。

孟德斯鸠

有害的并不是掠过心田一晃而去的虚假，而是上文所说的沉积心底、安如磐石的虚假。

培根

What I think I've been talking about really is success and failure. And one of the interesting things about success is that we think we know what it means. If I said that there's somebody behind the screen who's very successful, certain ideas would immediately come to mind. You'd think that person might have made a lot of money, achieved renown in some field. My own theory of success -- I'm somebody who's very interested in success, I really want to be successful, always thinking, how can I be more successful? But as I get older, I'm also very nuanced about what that word "success" might mean.

我一直在谈论成功和失败。成功的有趣之处是，我们时常以为我们知道成功是什么，如果我现在说，这个屏幕后面站着一个非常成功的人，你心里马上就会产生一些想法。你会想，这个人可能很有钱，在某些领域赫赫有名，我对成功的理解是。首先，我是一个对成功非常有兴趣的人，我想要成功，我总是想着“要怎样我才能更成功？”，但当我渐渐长大，我越来越疑惑，究竟什么是“成功”的真正意义。

阿兰·德波顿

企业的逻辑就是企业由小到大、由弱变强、由强到优的成长逻辑。“中国式成长”恰恰是这一逻辑的外在体现。
