It's important to follow your dreams and do what you love.

The first fruit of this imagination - and the first lesson of the social science that embodies it - is the idea that the individual can understand his own experience and gauge his own fate only by locating himself within his period, that he can know his own chances in life only by becoming aware of those of all individuals in his circumstances.

即使会被众人当成恶棍，你还会做对的决定吗?….我宁愿被认为是一个赢家而非一个好队友。我希望能同时兼顾两者，但是这是不实际的…. 我和那些懒惰的人 ─ 那些只会将自己没有成功的原因怪罪于他人的人─ 并没有任何共同点。

The mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluble by us; and I for one must be content to remain an agnostic.  

成功不是终点，而是不断进步的过程。
