最艰难的选择常在短期利润和长期韧性之间——明智选择。

And we also suck in messages from everything from the television, to advertising, to marketing, etc. These are hugely powerful forces that define what we want and how we view ourselves. When we're told that banking is a very respectable profession, a lot of us want to go into banking. When banking is no longer so respectable, we lose interest in banking. We are highly open to suggestion.

现实与幻想的边界比我们想象的更薄，有时甚至完全消失。

The only limits you have are the ones you set for yourself.

The novel is not a genre, but a form of thought.
