A Father's Prayer

By Douglas MacArthur

Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid; one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in vic­tory.

Build me a son whose wishes will not take the place of deeds; a son who will know Thee—and that to know himself is the foundation stone of knowledge.

Lead him, I pray, not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge. Here let him learn to stand up in the storm; here let him learn compassion for those who fail.

Build me a son whose heart will be clear, whose goal will be high, a son who will master himself before he seeks to mas­ter other men, one who will reach into the future, yet never forget the past.

And after all these things are his, add, I pray, enough of a sense of humor, so that he may always be serious, yet nev­er take himself too seriously. Give him humility, so that he may always remember the sim­plicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, and the meekness of true strength.

Then I, his father, will dare to whisper, "I have not lived in vain."

最近王John老师在开朗读直播,我也想参与表示支持,虽然不太赞同她的强插广告,但表示理解,而我虽有条件,却真是心有余力不足。


万千湖泊,我只取一瓢饮。


也是无奈吧。

We don’t remember the duration of pleasure or pain. We remember peaks of experiences and how they end.

As no man-made system can yet match a pair of human eyes and the image-processing power of a brain, compromises have to be made.

Data is king; the more you have, the faster the algorithms will learn.

As companies boost their intelligence gathering, “the level of data that will be generated is on a scale that is hard for us to conceive. This is the tip of the iceberg.”





本周未跑步,未刷四级题,未完成一块听听上的天天用英语栏目,刷了一次英语听力机时,听了三章the idiot,今天没听喜马拉雅上的公开课,本周听了五节课,大概四个小时,未进行comma gets a cure 的口语训练。


惭愧矣。


上周任务未完成,本周依旧,故需减负,完不成的,或许是时机未到。


我只是个人,有喜怒勤堕,有一切正常动物的行迹,不是精密仪器,没有完美算法,只会点思考,懂点执行,晓得调整。


我还是要玩耍的。


所以,明天玩半天。
