The problem here is not wealth, but corruption. So why not go after corruption?

We don’t need to prevent people from being rich if we can prevent wealth from translating into power.

How do you break the connection between wealth and power? Demand transparency. Watch closely how power is exercised, and demand an account of how decisions are made.

天使, 犧牲自己的利益來追求自己的理想.

魔鬼, 犧牲別人的利益來追求自己的理想.

傻瓜, 犧牲自己的理想來追求別人的利益.

智者, 透過實現自己的理想來追求別人的利益.

Talent at its best and character at its worst

.

Lord Acton said we should judge talent at its best and character at its worst. For example, if you write one great book and ten bad ones, you still count as a great writer — or at least, a better writer than someone who wrote eleven that were merely good. Whereas if you’re a quiet, law-abiding citizen most of the time but occasionally cut someone up and bury them in your backyard, you’re a bad guy.

— Paul Graham

才能方面，如果一個人的最高點是可以接受的話，你就可以錄用他，即使他有其他任何才能缺點；

品德方面，如果一個人的最低點是不可接受的話，你就千萬不要錄用他，即使他有其他任何品德優點。

才能方面，一個太陽可以照亮整個天空；

品德方面，一條裂縫可以摧毀整個堤壩。
