二十年後,你沒做過的事將比你做過的事,更令你感到失望。因此拋開稱人結,駛離安全的港口,在帆上抓住信風。探索,夢想,發現。Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” — Mark Twain, Writer
