If we all do this, we drive up national productivity and everybody's happy, except the peasants. But it's crucial to remember the other half. Not the peasants. The earth.Reach for the Sky was a famous book by a wheelchair-bound pilot written after World War II. Today, we are asked to do a far more important thing: To reach for the ground.

如果我們都這么做，我們國家的生產率就會提升，同時除了農民們，皆大歡喜。但記住詩的下半句也很重要。下半句不是農民，而是土地。戰后一位身殘的飛行員寫了本非常著名的書《抵達天空》。今天，我們有更重要的事情去做，那就是把腳伸到地里去。

The answer is: I don't know. But I've just had a text to say someone will be emailing me the answers soon.

他說這話到底是什么意思？我如何才能巧妙的將它融入我的文章，確保我能進入施展我抱負的五百強公司之一，比如富士康（最近是個好時機）或者求其次，當上幼兒園保安等等？答案是：我不知道。但我剛收到短信，有人將立馬發郵件給我，告訴我答案。
