No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess.

没有大胆的猜测就没有伟大的发现。

I've read this sentence just several years before, now I still have some more thoughts about it than I had wrote down then.

Thought we are always told that we'd better not to limit our imagination, and we can fly as high as we can imagine.

Most often, I consider such quotes are just useless stimulation or "chicken broth for the soul" if we don't take concrete actions or practise these guidelines in our work.

Besides, I want to highlight that all the great discoveries are also based on some basic knowledge and experience related to them.

If we hadn't mastered those basic skills and knowledge which are required, then even when the great discovery presents its phenomenon to us, we may miss the chance to find it because we can't understand the very things behind the superficial phenomenon.

 

Never eat more than you can lift.

吃的永远不要比你能拿的多。

From Miss Piggy.

Miss Piggy is one of the animatic characters loved by both children and some adults.

The Piggy's family are very funny.

And as other cartoons aimed at young children, Miss Piggy also provides some simple educations for them, like here, she tells us never eat more than we can lift.

It's true, it is obvious that a creatures never eats more than its own weight, not to mention the weight that it can lift.

However, we always want to take more when we are served in a buffet dinner.

Greed is the nature of us, but we can restrict it and become more gratitude.
