Greek philosopher Thucydides :
A man who has the knowledge but lacks the power to clearly express himself is no better off than if he had never any idea at all.

The Road Not Taken
美國詩人 羅勃.佛洛斯特：沒有走的路
Robert Frost's known poem: The Road Not Taken
黃樹林裡分叉兩條路，TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
只可惜我不能都踏行。And sorry I could not travel both
我，單獨的旅人，佇立良久，And be one traveler, long I stood
極目眺望一條路的盡頭，And looked down one as far as I could
看它隱沒在叢林深處。To where it bent in the undergrowth;
於是我選擇了另一條路，Then took the other, as just as fair,
一樣平直，也許更值得，And having perhaps the better claim,
因為青草茵茵，還未被踏過，Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
若有過往人蹤，Had worn them really about the same,
路的狀況會相差無幾。Though as for that the passing there
那天早晨，兩條路都覆蓋在枯葉下，And both that morning equally lay
沒有踐踏的污痕：In leaves no step had trodden black.
啊，原先那條路留給另一天吧！Oh, I kept the first for another day!
明知一條路會引出另一條路，Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
我懷疑我是否會回到原處。I doubted if I should ever come back
在許多許多年以後，在某處，I shall be telling this with a sigh
我會輕輕歎息說：Somewhere ages and ages hence:
黃樹林裡分叉兩條路，而我，Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
我選擇了較少人跡的一條，I took the one less traveled by,
使得一切多麼地不同。And that has made all the difference

路邊笑話
Once upon a time there was a shepherd looking after his sheep on the
side of a deserted road.
Suddenly a brand new Porsche screeches to a halt. The driver, a man dressed in an Armani suit, Cerutti shoes, Ray-Ban sunglasses, gets out and asks the Shepherd:
"If I can tell you how many sheep you have, will you give me one of them?"
The shepherd looks at the young man,and replies:
"Okay."
The young man parks the car, connects his laptop to the mobile, scans the ground using his GPS,opens a database. He turns to the shepherd and says, "You have exactly 1,586 sheep here."
The shepherd cheers,"That's correct, you can have your sheep."
The young man makes his pick and puts it in the back of his Porsche.
The shepherd looks at him and asks: "If I guess your profession, will you return my animal to me?"
The young man answers, "Yes, why not?"
The shepherd says, "You are an IT consultant.
"How did you know?"asks the young man.
"Very simple," answers the shepherd.
"First, you came here without being called.
Second, you charged me a fee to tell me something I already knew, and
third, you don't understand anything about my business...
Now can I have my DOG back?"
