怀疑/不确定性
Doubt/Uncertainty

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

As we know, there are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know.
正如我们所知,有已知的已知。有些事情我们知道我们知道。我们也知道有已知的未知。也就是说,我们知道有些事情我们不知道。但也有未知的未知,那些我们不知道我们不知道的。
What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.
人真正需要的不是一种没有紧张的状态,而是为一个值得自己去追求的目标而奋斗。他所需要的不是不惜任何代价释放紧张,而是一种潜在意义的召唤,等待着他去实现。
