Poverty is not just about income; it’s about dignity and agency.

The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.

译文：甘愿受人欺辱，不一定是软弱无能的人；自认为聪明的人，终究是个糊涂人。赏析：韩信能忍胯下之辱，故能成就大业。对于我们普通的人来说，该忍让时就看淡，不必事事非得和别人计较。自认为聪明的人，永远活在自我的世界，他们高高在上，看不起任何人。可马也有失蹄，人也有失足的时候，一旦他们失势后，自然就会沦为他人的笑柄。

可持续性不是附加品，而是一种思维方式。
