Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.

  • -- Christopher Morley 克里斯托弗·莫利

每天读一些别人没有读过的东西。每天思考一些别人没有思考过的事情。每天做一些别人都不会傻到去做的事情。头脑持续地成为一致意见的一部分是有害的。
