I always try to push the boundaries of what's possible in storytelling.

You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it.

解析：不要求快，不要贪求小利。求快反而达不到目的，贪求小利就做不成大事。

At that age， I'd take any excuse to make estimates and do minor arithmetic. I'd calculate our gas mileage -- figure out useless statistics on things like grocery spending. I'd been hearing an ad campaign about smoking. I can't remember the details， but basically the ad said， every puff of a cigarette takes some number of minutes off of your life: I think it might have been two minutes per puff. At any rate， I decided to do the math for my grandmother. I estimated the number of cigarettes per days， estimated the number of puffs per cigarette and so on. When I was satisfied that I'd come up with a reasonable number， I poked my head into the front of the car， tapped my grandmother on the shoulder， and proudly proclaimed， "At two minutes per puff， you've taken nine years off your life！"

国家的权力应该用来保护个人的权利，而不是压制他们。
