You think you know a story, but you only know how it ends. To get to the heart of the story,you had to go back to the beginning.君阅汗青已通史,终局笔亦疏;韶华峥嵘风尘掩,回首觅当初!
发上等愿、结中等缘、享下等福;向高处立、就平处坐、从宽处行。
The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much.
無善無惡心之體，有善有惡意之動，知善知惡是良知，為善去惡是格物。 -王阳明
I've changed careers ten different times since I was 25. I'm heartened by the fact that Henry Ford didn't start the assembly line until he was 60. Raymond Chandler didn't write his first novel until he was 52. Colonel Sanders didn't start franchising until he was 65. And on and on. Everyone wants to know what their "purpose" in life is. This is a man-made myth. We don't have to have a purpose.
Best is to take a step back. To be healthy physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. This makes you a beacon. A beacon has no idea what ships on a foggy night it helps bring to shore. It's just a beacon. This is how you choose yourself. Not "choose yourself for success." But "choose yourself today." Every day.
人每到一个年龄就会悟出一些东西，这是岁月的馈赠，但是，时光这个碧池，总会也让人发现，在懂的之前，我们已经错过了多少，辜负了多少，那些来不及的，回不去的，注定要慢慢熬煮成心头的暗色痕迹，化作将来老去的我们，口中喋喋不休的唠叨。

God, Grant me, the SERENITY, to accept the things I cannot change,COURAGE to change the things I can, and the WISDOM to know the difference.

Charlie Rose:
And so when you look at where we are going, there seems to be two issues that are apparent to me at least, risk and leverage. We just lost sight of risk and leverage of what was appropriate?
Warren Buffett:
Yeah. Again, because it pays off for a while. You know, you can lose leverage, and it's the only way a smart guy can go broke. If you owe money, you can't pay them out. You just pay for everything, you do smart things, you eventually get very rich. If you do smart things and use leverage and do one wrong thing along the way, it could wipe you out, because anything times zero is zero. But it's reinforcing when the people around you are doing it successfully, you're doing it successfully, and it's a lot like Cinderella at the ball. I mean you know at midnight everything is going to turn to pumpkins and mice; right? But if the evening goes along, I mean, you know, the guys look better all the time, the music sounds better, it's more and more fun, you think why the hell should I leave at quarter of 12. I'll leave at two minutes to 12. But the trouble is, there are no clocks on the wall. And everybody thinks they're going to leave at two minutes to 12.

“Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves."

Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien [The perfect is the enemy of the good].

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

可憐之人必有可恨之處
凡取人之术，苟不得圣人、君子而与之，与其得小人，不若得愚人。何则？君子挟才以为善，小人挟才以为恶。挟才以为善者，善无不至矣；挟才以为恶者，恶亦无不至矣。愚者虽欲为不善，智不能周，力不能胜，譬之乳狗搏人，人得而制之。小人智足以遂其奸，勇足以决其暴，是虎而翼者也，其为害岂不多哉！

[Well, if they're not going to be an active investor - and very few should try to do that - then they should just stay with index funds. Any low-cost index fund. And they should buy it over time. They're not going to be able to pick the right price and the right time. What they want to do is avoid the wrong price and wrong stock. You just make sure you own a piece of American business, and you don't buy all at one time.
you should get greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy.
the only way an investor can get killed is by high fees or by trying to outsmart the market.]

感情,以感性为基石,理性为框架而建立起来的.人们常说的"爱就是宽容和理解",其实是谬论.因为爱是一种感觉,是自私的,液态的,唯一的.有了爱以后,两个人就建立一段关系.然而,关系中,人们却得用"理解和宽容"去对待对方,而这是理性的行为.有些人以为,爱就是爱的全部.于是地上留下一个个的石桩,远望犹如坟地;有些人以为,爱是理性选偶,于是他/她建造了一个华丽的空中城堡,随风而动.
