I have a vivid memory of what happened， and it was not what I expected. I expected to be applauded for my cleverness and arithmetic skills. "Jeff， you're so smart. You had to have made some tricky estimates， figure out the number of minutes in a year and do some division." That's not what happened. Instead， my grandmother burst into tears. I sat in the backseat and did not know what to do. While my grandmother sat crying， my grandfather， who had been driving in silence， pulled over onto the shoulder of the highway. He got out of the car and came around and opened my door and waited for me to follow. Was I in trouble？ My grandfather was a highly intelligent， quiet man. He had never said a harsh word to me， and maybe this was to be the first time？ Or maybe he would ask that I get back in the car and apologize to my grandmother. I had no experience in this realm with my grandparents and no way to gauge what the consequences might be. We stopped beside the trailer. My grandfather looked at me， and after a bit of silence， he gently and calmly said， "Jeff， one day you'll understand that it's harder to be kind than clever."
"You’ve shown me I have reasons I should love myself."
在困难时刻，我们不是被环境定义，而是被我们的反应定义。
The only real power is the power of love.
嗯，第一条规则是，如果你只是记住一些孤立的事实，然后试图把它们背出来，你是不可能真正知道任何东西的。如果事实不是挂在一个理论的格子架上，你就没有把它们变成一种可用的形式。

心理学必须基于事实，而非假设。
