41、dy doesnt reserve a plot for weeds.Once we are self-aware, we must choose purposes and principles to live by; otherwise the hole will be filled, and we will lose our self-awareness and become like groveling animals that live mainly for survival.And there is no easy way in developing them.

42、 the Harvest governs; we will always reap what we sow-no more, no less.
