“"Will you, as they say, say when?" he asked, standing at Eustace's elbow with the whisky decanter and a glass. "Stop, stop I've got to sit up and do some work when I get back."

“Mình thích mấy người làm việc gì cũng biết cách thoải mái vui vẻ, lúc không vui thì tạm nghỉ ngơi, nhưng đã làm thì phải tập trung và tận hưởng. Ai cũng có xu hướng tách bạch cuộc sống - công việc, nhưng như vậy thì chờ tới bao giờ mới sống?

“In a harsh, cruel world where success is only measured by financial income, the higher moral values are ‎getting lost and forgotten. No one counts your efforts, good deeds, struggle, and giving unless if these ‎deeds make money. Money nowadays, unfortunately, is the fake God everyone follows. If you make ‎solid profits you are a human being worth respect, but if you are struggling and working so hard in life, ‎yet your struggle and good deeds don't make you the money you need, you only worth neglecting.‎ For all those who struggle to live another day by doing the right thing, hang in there, God is with you ‎and better days are coming too by God’s will.‎”
