Antifragility [1]


Mental strength in a warrior’s mind. [2]


Forget all the reasons why it won’t work and believe the one reason why it will.


Resistance, obstacles, and roadblocks lead to growth. “A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.”


It’s not about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit, how much you can take, and keep moving forward.


The more easily you get offended, the less emotional intelligence you have. Invest your emotions wisely. Don’t engage in any fruitless arguments.

“Think of life like a play, and it will ease your mind when you’re challenged or when someone stands in your way. Told yourself they were playing a role. Every story needs a villain. So why should you waste energy being upset at the villains in your story? Instead, you could use that energy as the fuel to beat them.” — Arnold Schwarzenegger

“You cannot control the behavior of others, but you can always choose how you respond to it.” — Roy T. Bennett

  • 不要和白痴吵架 (Dogs do not get tired of barking.)
  • 如果別人朝著你丟石頭,就不要扔回去了,留著做你建高樓的基石
  • 有些人是真心來對話的,有些人是純心來吵架的,分清楚兩者之間的差異!
