苹果CEO史蒂夫·乔布斯经典语录

我们认为看电视的时候，人的大脑基本停止工作，打开电脑的时候，大脑才开始运转。

Reams of academic studies over the decades have amply confirmed television's pernicious mental and moral influences. And most TV watchers know that their habit is mind-numbing and wasteful, but still spend most of their time in front of that box. So turn your TV off and save some brain cells.

They viewed mistakes as warnings rather than signs of hopeless inadequacy. Never making a mistake means never living life to the full.
