讓未來述說真相，以工作成果及成就來評估一個人，現在屬於他們的，但未來，我為它做了許多努力，是屬於我的。“Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.”

“Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.”
– Nikola Tesla, Inventor
