What you should not do, I think, is worry about the opinion of anyone beyond your friends. You shouldn't worry about prestige. Prestige is the opinion of the rest of the world. When you can ask the opinions of people whose judgement you respect, what does it add to consider the opinions of people you don't even know? 我认为,一个人不应该在乎别人的看法,除非是他的朋友。不要想着出名,不必太在意众人的意见。能够得到尊敬的人的意见就够了,何必在乎那些根本就不认识的人呢? http://www.paulgraham.com/love.html
