书籍是我们与逝者沟通的方式。是我们从那些不再与我们同在的人那里学习教训的方式，人类以此为基础，取得进步，使知识逐渐积累，而不是一次又一次地重新学习。

What I want to talk to you about today is the difference between gifts and choices. Cleverness is a gift， kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy -- they're given after all. Choices can be hard. You can seduce yourself with your gifts if you're not careful， and if you do， it'll probably be to the detriment of your choices.

Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.

The best time to negotiate your salary for a new job is the moment AFTER they say they want you， and not before. Then it becomes a game of chicken for each side to name an amount first， but it is to your advantage to get them to give a number before you do.

若要可爱的眼睛，要看到别人的好处。
