Dr. SunYatSen
孙中山 :
1866-1925

天下安危,匹夫有责,先知先觉,义岂容辞!

我们要图国家富强,必须要自己振作精神,大家团结起来,公同向前去奋斗。
万不可自私自利,只知道要自己到什么地位,不知道国家到什么地位。
我们有了这项志气,便是国民志气。

教养有道,则天无枉生之才;鼓励以方,则野无郁抑之士;
任使得法 则朝无倖进之徒。
斯三者不失其序 则人能尽其才矣;
人既尽其才,则百事俱举;百事举矣,则富强不足谋也。

The Museum of SunYatSen Wang Qing Yuan

Einstein
Albert Einstein
(March 14,1879 - April 18, 1955)

探讨个人或众生的生存意义和目的,以唯物观来说是荒谬的,但是每个人总有些理想,这理想往往决定其奋斗方向及对事物的判断。我从不把安逸和享乐当作奋斗目标,我称这种索求为猪栏理想。照亮我生命道路的那些理想,并且时时给我新的勇气愉快地活下去的是三样东西:友善、美和真理。

没有学术界同道的友情,没有对客观世界、艺术和科学领域永恒及不可企及事物的追索,生命对我来说是空虚的。人们所追求的目标——财富、外表的成功和奢华,我认为是微不足道和可鄙视的

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries or eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality.
It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day.

The state of mind which enables a man to do work of this kind...
is akin to that of the religious worshipper or the lover; the daily effort comes from no deliberate intention or program,
but straight from the heart.

It is important for the common good to foster individuality; 
for only the individual can produce the new ideas which the community needs for its continuous improvement and requirements
indeed, to avoid sterility and petrification.

Steve Wynn
Steve Wynn :
Las Vegas casino mogul

And if someone does something that's offensive, you reject it, plain and simple.
But you don't tell an expert how to do an expert's job. You ask.

Don't issue thunderbolts of wisdom from the top of Mount Olympus.
You're talking about the people of the world and what makes them go. That's the ballpark we play in. 
Running the government is the ballpark they play in.
Those are two different games. Both sides have to be open and flexible.

Anita Roddick :
Body Shop founder

Be passionate about ideas.
Entrepreneurs want to create a livelihood from an idea that has obsessed them;
not necessary a business, but a livelihood.
When accumulating money drives out the ideas and the anger behind them, you are no longer an entrepreneur.

Potential entrepreneurs are outsiders. They are people who imagine things as they might be, not as they are,
and have the drive to change the world. Those are qualities that business schools do not teach.
An MBA can give you useful skills that can be applied to a life in Business. But they will not teach you the most crucial thing :
How to be an entrepreneur.

10 lessons that entrepreneurs need more than what they teach in Business school :
1) Tell stories         2) Concentrate on creativity                 3) Be an opportunistic collector
4) Measure the company according to fun and creativity        5) Be different, but look safe
6) Be passionate about idea     7) Feed your sense of outrage 8) Make the most of the Female element
9) Believe in yourself and your intuition   10) Have self knowledge.


张九桓 :
中国驻新加坡大使 

我住水之北,君住水之洲;天涯也咫尺,往来有飞舟;
我中早有你,你中我长留;彼此情无限,恰似水长流。

中野孝次 :
清贫思想

知足,虽贫亦可称为富;有财而欲多,则可称为贫。

惟有主动放弃多余的物质追求,才能在简单朴素之中体验心灵的丰盈充实,
追求宽广的精神空间和风雅的境界。

生活应尽量简朴,摆脱物欲纠缠,让心灵悠游于平和自由之境,才是人最高尚的生存境界。

刘墉
台湾著名畅销书作家

大学问者,必经过的三种境界,即昨夜西风凋碧树,独上高楼,望尽天涯路衣带渐宽终不悔,为伊消得人憔悴众里寻他千百度,蓦然回首,那人却在,灯火阑珊处,正好符合骆驼、狮子、婴儿的三种人生阶段概念。

这三个过程中缺一不可,因为生活的每一个过程需要每个人亲自去体验。唯有经过了许多思考和争逐,才能想出办法超越自己的弱点,成就事业,施展抱负,实现理想,并创造出个人的风格。

我们不能只依靠父母先天所给予的。先天不足的地方,我们可以后天创造,创造出自己的个人风格。离开世界时,才能肯定自己没有白来。

杨瑞清 :
中国青年教育家

我们应该不必太看重成绩,成绩并不一定导致成功。
我们应该也不必太看重成功,成功并不一定导致幸福。
不幸福的成功,只能是暂时的成功,甚至是虚假的成功。
我们真正应当看重的是成长,教育的最高境界是抓住成长两个字。

You really do not need much leverage in this world.
If you are smart, you are going to make a lot of money without borrowing.

Investing Rule No.1 : Never lose money
Investing Rule No. 2 : Never forget Rule No.1

If you say 
"I'm taking this job - I do not really like this job but in three years it will lead to this",
forget it. Find one you like right now.

One of the things you will find,
Which is interesting and which people do not think of enough,
with most businesses and with most individuals,
Life tends to snap you at your weakest link.

When you make a mistake, don't look back at it along.
Take the reason of the thing into your mind and then look forward.
Mistakes are lessons of wisdom.
The past cannot be changed.
The future is yet in your power.

Jorgen Knudstorp :
LEGO CEO

My advice to entrepreneurs is to go the hard, hard way towards understanding the
meaning of your brand and why you are truly excited by it.
Only then can you articulate clearly how you want to build and strengthen it. 

solzhenitsyn
Alexander Solzhenitsyn :

Do not pursue what is illusory - property and position: all that is gained at the expense of your nerves decade after decade and can be confiscated in one fell night.
 Live with a steady superiority over life - don't be afraid of misfortune, and do not yearn after happiness; 
it is after all, all the same: the bitter doesn't last forever, and the sweet never fills the cup to overflowing.

They become successful by doing things they're supposed to do, doing them well,
and getting them done on time.

Persons of high self esteem are not driven to make themselves superior to others;

龙应台:

就好像我们交朋友一样,和越有创造力、活泼、有自信的人在一起做朋友,你很轻松
不必随时担心是不是踩到他的痛脚,是不是侮辱了他。城市是一样的。


当一个城市过度干净的时候,它一定是花很多心思跟精力,放在维持这个城市的干净、
整齐跟秩序。当一个城市花那么大的心力,来维持干净、整齐跟秩序时,
我自己的偏见是,它的创造力一定是相对比较低的。

我深信只要人修身正心,行善积德,成为一个品德高尚,堂堂正正的坦荡君子才是人生要
的目的。
这总比去追逐过眼云烟的东西更为重要。
是非成败转头空,人何不脚踏实地,尽力而为,不计得失,不论成败,那又何需说
得失安之于数呢?
