You may not be able to alter reality, but you can alter your attitude towards it, and this, paradoxically, alters reality.
How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life.
历史的进程是自由的缓慢行进。
最大的性能改进是当系统从不能工作到能工作的时候。
故事不在情节中，而在情节之间的空隙里。
——《在东京留日三团体欢迎会的演说》（1913年3月1日）
Innovation is not just about creating something new; it's about making a difference in people's lives.
