I don't really have idols. What I have is a filter.

我其实没什么偶像。我有的是一套筛子。

I respect people who go deep on one thing and won't let themselves rest — the ones who keep pushing when stopping would be easier, who actually build. When I admire someone, it's almost always for that, not for what they own. The effort is the respectable part. The result is just what effort looks like later.

我尊重那些把一件事做到底、不肯让自己歇下来的人——在停下来更轻松的时候还在往前推、真正 在动手做的人。我佩服一个人，几乎总是因为这个，而不是因为他拥有什么。值得敬重的是那份付出。 结果，不过是付出在后来的样子。

And I have no patience for the opposite. People who talk big and do nothing. People who brag, who claim to know something and then fold the second you actually ask them about it. Saying isn't doing. I trust what someone has built, never what they say they could build.

对相反的那种人，我一点耐心都没有。说得天花乱坠、却什么都不做的人。爱吹的人，张口说自己懂， 你一认真追问就瞬间露馅的人。说，不等于做。我信一个人做出来的东西，绝不信他嘴上说自己能 做出什么。

It shows up in small things too. I never liked generic awards — "best in this subject," handed out so widely that everyone goes home with one. I'd rather get nothing than get the same thing as everyone else. If it isn't the one nobody else got, it doesn't really mean anything to me.

这在小事上也看得出来。我从来不喜欢那种泛泛的奖——「某科最佳」之类，发得满天飞，人人都能 捧一个回家。我宁可什么都拿不到，也不要跟所有人一样的东西。如果它不是别人都没拿到的那一个， 对我来说就没什么意义。
