Is it not strange that most of us choose sucking rather than running? (我们的脑是一块海绵,我们的心是溪流.然而我们大多选择吸收而非奔流,这不是很奇怪吗?) Personal opinion: we just learn instead of creating. 　My house says to me:do not leave me, for here dwells your past. ?? And the road says to me:come and follow me, for I am your future. ?? And I sad to both my house and the road:I have no past, nor have I a future. If I stay here, there is a going in my staying; and if I go, there is a staying in my going. only love and death will change all things.“ (我的房子对我说：“不要离开我，这里住着你的过去。”路对我说：“跟我来吧，我是你的未来。”我对房子和路
