We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less common sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.

　　我们居住的房屋越来越宽敞，家庭却越来越小型化;可以享受的生活便利日益增多，属于自己的时间却日趋减少;我们获得了一张又一张学位证书，却愈加频繁地陷入对常识的茫然中;我们广泛地涉猎各类知识，却越来越缺乏对于外界事物的准确把握和判断;专家越来越多，问题却也日渐增加;药物越吃越多，健康却每况愈下。
