世界上只有一种真正的英雄主义，就是认清了生活的真相后，依然热爱生活。

Here is my experience on how to be productive:

Tech

• Limit email replies to one per minute
• If you can’t understand what an email asks, don’t answer
• Tune out the news. Nothing important happens, most of the time.
• Do not answer the phone, unless it’s a true emergency. (Emergencies are rare)
• Use keyboard shortcuts.

Today is my birthday. I turn 70. I’ve learned a few things so far that might be helpful to others. For the past few years, I’ve jotted down bits of unsolicited advice each year and much to my surprise I have more to add this year. So here is my birthday gift to you all: 103 bits of wisdom I wish I had known when I was young.

偶然看到一句话,”莽撞地开始，拙劣地完成，也好过因为心怀完美主义而迟迟不动手去做”。这句话所描述地观点无可厚非，但随之而来一个问题，“什么是完美主义”？

Tips for Working Successfully in a Group

By Randy Pausch, for the Building Virtual Worlds course at Carnegie Mellon, Spring 1998

Meet people properly. It all starts with the introduction. Then, exchange contact information, and make sure you know how to pronounce everyone’s names. Exchange phones, and find out what hours are acceptable to call during.

唐多令·芦叶满汀洲

南宋 · 刘过

芦叶满汀洲，寒沙带浅流。二十年重过南楼。柳下系船犹未稳，能几日，又中秋。

黄鹤断矶头，故人今在否？旧江山浑是新愁。欲买桂花同载酒，终不似，少年游。

刘过（1154～1206），南宋文学家。字改之，号龙洲道人。襄阳人，后移居吉州太和（今江西泰和县）。少怀志节，读书论兵，好言古今治乱盛衰之变。曾多次上书朝廷，“屡陈恢复大计，谓中原可一战而取”。为韩侂胄客，不识侂胄之败事，识力远不及辛弃疾。又屡试不第，漫游江、浙等地，依人作客，与陆游、陈亮、辛弃疾等交游。后布衣终身，去世于昆山。有《龙洲集》、《龙洲词》。

醉诗

明 · 唐寅

碧桃花树下，大脚墨婆浪，

未说铜钱起，先铺芦席床。

三杯浑白酒，几句话衷肠。

何时归故里，和她笑一场。

唐寅，字伯虎，汉族，明朝南直隶苏州吴县（今江苏省苏州市）人，一字子畏，号六如居士、桃花庵主、鲁国唐生、逃禅仙吏等，明朝著名画家、文学家。据传他于明宪宗成化六年庚寅年寅月寅日寅时生。唐寅玩世不恭而又才华横溢，诗文擅名，与祝允明、文徵明、徐祯卿并称“江南四大才子（吴门四才子）”，画名更著，与沈周、文征明、仇英并称“吴门四家”，又称为“明四家”。

General Douglas MacArthur

Sylvanus Thayer Award Acceptance Address

delivered 12 May 1962, West Point, NY

General Westmoreland, General Grove, distinguished guests, and gentlemen of the Corps!

As I was leaving the hotel this morning, a doorman asked me, “Where are you bound for, General?” And when I replied, “West Point,” he remarked, “Beautiful place. Have you ever been there before?”

Adobe Illustrator

编辑数学公式和希腊字母

方法一：导入 svg 格式的公式图片

生成数学公式或希腊字母的图片格式（最好是 png 格式）→将图片导入到软件中→使用图像描摹功能（对象→图像描摹→建立并扩展）将图片矢量化→取消矢量图像编组，删除白色背景→重新编组，移动到合适位置。

直接导入svg格式会出现字母异常，因此导入png然后矢量化处理是更好的方式，可以使用LaTeX公式编辑器在线生成png格式的公式或希腊字母。

参考：How do I get mathematical fonts to Illustrator?

Steps in detail (When I was writing my dissertation on string theory I encountered the same issue. I managed to develop a pipeline which seems to work quite well):

1. Draw your graphs/images in Illustrator.
2. Use http://latex2png.com/. Type your latex equation in there, then preview at 2000 dpi.
3. Save the image, then load into Illustrator. Alternatively, you can speed things up by using a screencapture software (e.g. ShareX) so you can skip the image saving+loading process.
4. When in Illustrator, select your imported equation image and choose Object –> Image Trace –> Make and Expand. It is very important to obtain a high dpi image for this step to work favorably.
5. Your equation should now be a vector graphic.
6. Select your new vector graphic equation and choose Object –> Ungroup. This will separate the white spaces in your equation from the black content that you need.
7. Select the white spaces and delete them.
8. You now have a fully editable equation looking exactly like it does in Latex. You can scale/adjust and colour to your requirements.

方法二：从 PowerPoint 中直接拷贝

在 PowerPoint 中键入公式，选中，直接拷贝到 Adobe Illustrator 中。

布尔运算

打开软件，新建文件，选择“窗口”在“路径查找器”前打勾，这是做布尔运算的工具，之后选择两个需要做布尔运算的图形，在路径查找器中选择合适的操作即可。

PhotoShop

修改特定图片的分辨率和DPI

1. 将图片拖入Photoshop；
2. “图像” $\rightarrow$ “图像大小” $\rightarrow$ 调整宽度、高度与分辨率为目标值；
3. “文件” $\rightarrow$ “存储”，保存为指定格式和大小，即可；

备注：Adobe Illustrator与 Photoshop 的主要区别在于，Illustrator 基于矢量作图，而 Photoshop 基于像素点作图，因此在科研中 Illustrator 更常用。
