Everyone is dissatisfied with his own fortune.

人对自己的命运总是感到不满足。

We always want more, even when we have owned enough, or when we have been paid enough.

Actually, I think all these things, money, beauty, knowledge, life, offspring, are never enough.

Dissatisfication, or we can understand it as enterprise or ambition, is always playing an important role in the progress of individual and the whole society.

Once we are contented with the status quo, we may no longer have the abition that can motivate us to get to the next step and to reach higher and farther aims.

Uh, I feel very sleepy today, I even can't force myselft to concentrate my attention on my work.

Can you write down one line of codes, one line is enough?

Now I know why I always live a dog's life, but even a dog may have its days, if I keep on doing such things, surely I can't see my own days.

Then, please think about that am I qualified to complian about life?

One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. 

No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.

一台机器能干五十个普通人的活，但一个杰出的人的工作没有机器可以做。

From Elbert Hubbard.

When it comes to this topic, I remembered the recent dispute between Elon Mask and Mark Zuckerberg about the future of artificial intelligence.

Elon Musk is worried about that artificial intelligence could eventually destroy humanity, however, the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerbery, said that he is always optimistic about the future, adding that he believes that AI will bring far more benefits than downsides.

Their opinions represent two distinct groups, those saying AI's benefits will outweight its negatives and those saying it could ultimately destroy humanity.

Actually both sides can find enough arguments to support them, and if checking the details of those arguments, you will find all of them can make sense, and probably you can't convince yourself of either of them.

But I think whether it is good or evil depends on our human's choices, it is far away for the AI to develop into a completely autonomous stage.

And for the individual, whether its impacts are positive or negative hinges on whether we can keep pace with its developments.

Ok, just bring an end to today's disscussion, and we will spare some time to talk about this topic later, in some deep insight.
