对乡巴佬好点，说不定将来你会为一个乡巴佬打工。

这个世界不会在乎你的自尊，它希望你在自我感觉良好以前，先做出点成就。

Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not.In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they’ll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to anything in real life.
