“Did you know that for pretty much the entire history of the human species, the average life span was less than thirty years? You could count on ten years or so of real adulthood, right? There was no planning for retirement, There was no planning for a career. There was no planning. No time for plannning. No time for a future. But then the life spans started getting longer, and people started having more and more future. And now life has become the future. Every moment of your life is lived for the future--you go to high school so you can go to college so you can get a good job so you can get a nice house so you can afford to send your kids to college so they can get a good job so they can get a nice house so they can afford to send their kids to college.”

“你知道吗，在人类的整个历史中，平均寿命不到30年？你可以指望十年左右的真正成年，对吧？没有退休计划，也没有职业规划。没有计划。没时间计划了。没有时间展望未来。但后来寿命开始变长，人们开始拥有越来越多的未来。现在生活已经成为未来。你生命中的每一刻都是为未来而活的——你上高中是为了上大学，是为了找到一份好工作，是为了得到一所好房子，是为了能负担得起送孩子上大学的费用，是为了让他们找到一份好工作，是为了能得到一所好房子，是为了能负担得起送孩子上大学的费用。”
