“Remember that life is like a bank account[銀行賬戶]: You don’t want to spend everything you have right away, but you don’t want to be a miser[守財(cái)奴]and save every penny. Yes, you’re only young once, but, with any luck, you’ll also be old at some point. Plan on a career[事業(yè)], but don’t let it overcome[壓倒]the rest of your life. Take care of yourself, but don’t make it an obsession[迷戀，困擾]. Focus on your kids, but leave room in your life for yourself. Save enough money so that you’ll have enough for the future and for emergencies[緊急事件], but spend enough now to avoid[避免]looking back with regret.”

“When you meet someone for the frst time, realise that you know nothing about them. You see race, gender[性別], age, clothes. Forget it. You know nothing. Those biased[有偏見(jiàn)的]assumptions[假定]that pop into[急急走進(jìn)]your head because of the way your brain likes categories[種類], are limiting your life, and others’ lives.”

“Friends are few and far in between. You will recognise them when you need them and they are there for you. Nurse[照料]those friendships, they are rare. Try to be a friend.”
