It compares where you end up if you improve by 1% every day for a year instead of going worse by 1% every day for a year.
这就相当于人生的路程，每天多做一点点，积少成多，就会带来巨大的飞跃。

意大利现实主义画家Guido Borelli 通过结合现实和想象，重点描绘了意大利北部阿尔卑斯山的景观，住宅和别墅，把欧洲映像变幻得栩栩如生，让人不禁生向往之意。前两天的那幅画就是来自于Guido Borelli 的作品。
最近，重新看了一遍超时空接触 Contact (1997)里面提出的奥卡姆剃刀理论（Occam's Razor）挺有意思。
奥卡姆剃刀理论，这个理论称为“如无必要，勿增实体”（Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily）。而流行的俗语“最简单的解释往往是正确的”似乎也是源于奥卡姆的剃刀。
