And this is the face that we need to see on millions of problem-solvers all over the world as we try to tackle the obstacles of the next century,the face of someone who, against all odds is on the verge of an epic win.
同時，這也是在下個世紀，我們所期望的在處理全球眾多問題，排除各種障礙時露出的表情，能排除萬難的人是無往不勝的。
Now, unfortunately this is more of the face that we see in everyday life now as we try to tackle urgent problems.

This is what I call the I'm Not Good At Life face,and this is actually me making it. Can you see? Yes. Good.

This is a piece of graffiti in my old neighborhood in Berkeley, California, where I did my PhD on why we're better in games than we are in real life.
