#巴菲特金句#

不过，好消息是，即便是“失败者”的成员国，未来也几乎肯定会享受到比过去多得多的商品和服务。他们增加赏金的质量也将大大提高。在生产人们想要的东西方面，没有什么能与市场体系相匹敌，更不用说，在提供人们还不知道自己想要的东西方面。我的父母，年轻的时候，不能想象有一台电视机，我，50多岁，也不认为我需要一台个人电脑。这两种产品，一旦人们看到他们能做什么，很快就改变了他们的生活。我现在每周花十个小时在网上玩桥牌。在我写这封信的时候，“搜索”对我来说是无价的。（不过，我还没准备好引火。）

The good news, however, is that even members of the “losing” sides will almost certainly enjoy – as they should – far more goods and services in the future than they have in the past. The quality of their increased bounty will also dramatically improve. Nothing rivals the market system in producing what people want – nor, even more so, in delivering what people don’t yet know they want. My parents, when young, could not envision a television set, nor did I, in my 50s, think I needed a personal computer. Both products, once people saw what they could do, quickly revolutionized their lives. I now spend ten hours a week playing bridge online. And, as I write this letter, “search” is invaluable to me. (I’m not ready for Tinder, however.)

No.1111
The magic of someone new
never lasts long enough.
We only want those we can’t have.
It’s those we lost
or who never knew we exist
who leave their mark.
And now ten years later,
I look at this wall,
under this old street lamp,
how I wish you were here.

十年 一刻

我好喜欢这张图啊。
信念是很神奇的东西。造物主赐予孔雪儿美貌和才气，也令她命途多舛。可无数次跌落、挣扎，身心常常过敏，她还是坚持到了现在——是百折不挠吧？即使艰难如斯，她也依靠一股强烈得不可名状的精神力量在泥泞中腾挪着，与桎梏对抗着。吃力，痛苦，断断续续，但因为有根植于内心的信念，遍体鳞伤也步履不停。
