Language

The limit of my language is the limit of my world.

– Ludwig Wittgenstein

.

中文是中國人的語言;

英文是地球人的語言;

數學是宇宙人的語言.

.

懂中文的人有一個中國;

懂英文的人有一個地球;

懂數學的人有半個宇宙.

如果你教書, 要間中講一兩句正野. 因為你唔知你o既學生, 會變成乜野人.

— Mr Lee@思考方法課

如果你做老師, 除了課堂的知識外, 間中要說一些神奇的做人道理.

你不知道, 因你的說話, 你的學生, 會變成多偉大的人.

Your world is your world.

愚蠢的人以為自己的主觀世界, 就是客觀世界. 所以, 他們不知道自己的愚蠢.

聰明的人知道自己的主觀世界, 只是客觀世界的一小部分. 所以, 他們可以真切感受到自己的愚蠢.

Mathematicians won the war.

Mathematicians broke the Japanese codes and built the A-bomb.

Mathematicians… like you.

In medicine or economics,

in technology or in space,

battle lines are being drawn.

To triumph we need results — publishable, applicable results.

Now, who among you will be the next Morse,

the next Einstein?

Who among you will be the vanguard of democracy, freedom and discovery?

Today we bequeath America’s future into your able hands.

Welcome to Princeton, gentlemen.
