“Personally, I don't like the term 'success.' It's too arbitrary and too relative a thing. It's usually someone else's definition, not yours.”

「我個人並不喜歡『成功』這個詞，覺得它太武斷，太相對，而且通常都是別人的定義，不是你自己的。」

“People striving for approval from others become phony. You should seek approval from yourself.”

「想博得別人認同的人易流於惺惺作態，不如所言所行都出於你自己真心的認同。」
