20 年後,你沒做過的事會比你做過的事更令你失望,所以快解開船繩、駛離避風港,乘風揚帆而去,探索、作夢、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 safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover.

Believe you can and you’re halfway there.

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
─麥可‧喬丹(Michael Jordan,企業家、NBA退休球星)
