设计不仅仅是外观和感觉。设计是它如何运作。

晏子春秋

读书人要为子孙营造福祉而不是祈求福祉。严谨家规，崇尚俭朴，教导耕田读书，累积陰德，这就是营造福祉。广积土地房屋，拉拢关系争取利益，买卖功名，这就是求福祉。营造福祉的，平淡而长久；祈求福祉的，浓郁却短暂。

为什么这东西叫美国梦，因为你只有睡着了才能相信。

Don't let fear write your story.

"The lower you are, the higher your mind will want to soar."

The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.

我不喜欢被贴标签。
