同叔有话说之《你的孤独，虽败犹荣
今天和小伙伴坐在9号线上，挤进熙熙攘攘的人群，周末也就这么结束了。（在这里想给我们俩点个赞，我们也会很好地坚持下去，哈哈~）一样的周末，却有着不一样的心情。这不仅要归功于我自己强大的自我开导能力，也有同叔的功劳。所以与大家分享一段话，作为5月第一周总结的开场白：
我31岁时尝试了一件自己不擅长的事情，但我坚持做满了一年。它还活着，且正被人了解，被人看见。
我越来越明白一些以前不明白的事，比如，很多事情在我们身上遭遇失败，不是因为我们做得失败，而是因为我们决意放弃。很多事情在我们身上获得成功，不是因为我们做得很好，而是因为我们比别人坚持得稍微久了那么一点。
《刘同坦白讲》一年了，谢谢所有看过它、听说过它的人，以及未来会去看一眼它的人。
——《 你的孤独 虽败犹荣》

有时候否定词not可以提前到句首，在since之前，主句的主谓次序要颠倒，否定作用不影响到since，而是否定主句。【例如】Not since Alzheimer's disease was discovered in 1906 has there been a more crucial year than 2007 in our efforts against this mind-killer. 自从老年痴呆症1906年发现以来，我们对这个心智杀手的斗争，从没有哪一年比2007年更为带有关键性。

推荐背诵事例——关于Alibaba的一些事
How did a poor boy who barely scraped into a teacher’s college manage this? Mr Ma spotted a confluence of technologies and market opportunities.
It began with Mr Ma’s homesick search for a pint of Chinese lager. As an English translator, he got the chance to travel to Seattle in the mid-1990s and to use the internet for the first time. Told that one could find anything in the world online, he searched for “beer”. He found American beer, German beer and so on, but no Chinese beer. His country was, it seemed, living in the dark ages. That gave him the inspiration he needed.
How did he come from nowhere to overcome such American rivals as Yahoo (which later became a big investor in Alibaba) and eBay? The answer lies in the most powerful cult of all: a team of martial-arts heroes with Jack Ma as its leader. Alibaba’s campus in Hangzhou features numerous artistic references to Jin Yong, a celebrated writer of martial-arts novels. Employees take nicknames from his novels and other pulp fiction, and use these names for internal communication. Team-building exercises regularly have employees doing handstands, and office romances are often made official at mass weddings (pictured), witnessed by Mr Ma. The company’s philosophy is a “six-vein spirit sword”, and during an interview conducted last year at his headquarters, Mr Ma several times got up to punctuate his answers with an actual sword from his wall.
Unlike the founders of other big Chinese internet firms, Mr Ma distributed shares to employees from the beginning, and continued to find ways for them to cash in during Alibaba’s spectacular rise. Mr Ma formed a partnership before Alibaba’s flotation, and shares control with several dozen colleagues
He has set up a philanthropic fund, but uses Alibaba itself as a vehicle for social change, helping people book doctors’ visits, for example, or selling cheap water-testing devices and encouraging his customers to upload results for big-data analysis
