Paul Graham 14 年前的一篇短文，依旧值得花点时间读一下。

If you had to compress them into a single piece of advice, it might be: don’t be a cog. The 5 regrets paint a portrait of post-industrial man, who shrinks himself into a shape that fits his circumstances, then turns dutifully till he stops.

如果要把它们浓缩成一条建议，那可能是：不要成为一颗螺丝钉。这五大遗憾勾勒出了后工业时代人类的肖像：他们将自己压缩成符合环境的形状，然后尽职尽责地转动，直到停止。
