「唯有停止咒罵和抱怨社會的缺失，並拿出勇氣採取行動，我們才能讓社會進步。」“We make progress in society only if we stop cursing and complaining about its shortcomings and have the courage to do something about them.”

“We make progress in society only if we stop cursing and complaining about its shortcomings and have the courage to do something about them.”
