The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains that I have so humbly taken to verify my notions have only wasted my time.

Transcend time

Posted on by

.

Another advantage of telling the truth is that you don’t have to remember what you’ve said. You don’t have to keep any state in your head. It’s a purely functional business strategy. (Hackers will get what I mean.)

— Paul Graham

I always tell people that sometimes I may not tell what is on my mind, that as long as I speak out what is on my mind, the words are true.

— Wen Jiabao

I always mean what I say but I don’t always say what I mean.

I do always mean what I say but not always say what I mean.

College

Posted on by

.

Colleges are a bit like exclusive clubs in this respect. There is only one real advantage to being a member of most exclusive clubs: you know you wouldn’t be missing much if you weren’t. When you’re excluded, you can only imagine the advantages of being an insider. But invariably they’re larger in your imagination than in real life.

PhD

Posted on by

Do research in order to get a PhD is a waste of time.

[Instead, you should] Go to study a PhD because you want to know real and practical physicists

in order to do real research and real teachings.

小國大業：荷蘭

Posted on by

.

17世紀，只有150萬人口的荷蘭，成為世界經濟中心和海上第一強國。

荷蘭人通過捕撈和加工鯡魚和海上貿易開始自己的致富之路。在與英格蘭的貿易競爭中，荷蘭人通過建造造價低、速度快的船隻以及良好的商業信用而逐漸佔據有利地位。為了解決開闢新航線的資金問題，荷蘭人進行一系列金融和商業上的創新。 1602 年，第一間股份公司荷蘭聯合東印度公司成立；1609年，第一個股票交易所成立，同年，阿姆斯特丹銀行建立，並第一次引入銀行信用。這些新的金融和商業體系，使荷蘭的財富快速增長。到了17世紀中葉，荷蘭的貿易額佔據佔到全世界總貿易額的一半。

Clarke’s three laws 2

Posted on by

.

For many years, Robert A. Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C. Clarke were known as the “Big Three” of science fiction.

During interviews, both in 1993 and 2004–2005, he stated that he did not believe in reincarnation, citing that there was no mechanism to make it possible, though he stated “I’m always paraphrasing J. B. S. Haldane: ‘The universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it’s stranger than we can imagine.‘”
