Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.

决定你人生高度的，不是你的才能，而是你的态度。

Actually, attitude and aptitude are both crucial for our altitude.

It is difficult to come to a conclusion about which is more important, it is just a chicken-and-egg question.

I mean, the both are promoted by each other.

A good attitude can lead to a great aptitude, and a great aptitude can consolidate our confidence in ourselves and in the future, thus it helps us build up a good and firm attitude.

By the way, a good attitude is not measured by words, but by actions.

I always feel a sense of urgency with my time, I know I have wasted a lot, but I don't intend to waste it any more.

There are many books I want to read, there are many programs I want to code, maybe I should work out some way to get me out of such anxieties.

And I think the best antidote for such anxieties is work, so just work hard.

There is some good in this world, and it is worth fighting for.

这世界一定有美好的东西，值得我们为之奋斗到底。

From The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

This is a beautiful world, full of love, but we can make it more beautiful.

There are always some good things in this world, and they are worth fighting for, and they are worth defending against any dark powers that want to undermine them.

To me, there are three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and the unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.

These passions, like great winds, have blown me here and there, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the verge of despair.

Despair? Maybe, I just think what I have done is far away from enough, so there is no obvious change yet.

So, just do a bit more, things always take time, and those great dreams would take more.
