我发现,从所有的学科吸取我所需要的95%的知识,并将它们变成我思维习惯的一部分,也不是很难的事情。当然,掌握了这些道理后之后,你们必须通过实践去使用它们。若不付诸实践,终究徒劳。
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.
我们每天所做的选择——我们买什么、吃什么、如何生活——都会产生影响。
做出伟大工作的唯一方法就是热爱你所做的事情。
A building should be readable like a book.
天地没有偏爱,视万物如草扎的狗;圣人没有偏爱,视百姓如草扎的狗。(引自《道德经》,萧鼎在《诛仙》中化用)
I think that the most important thing is to be honest with yourself and with the audience.
Failure is not the opposite of success; it's a stepping stone to success.
