Here is my written Oscars speech of thanks and appreciation:
这是我写的奥斯卡获奖致谢感言：
I’m extremely grateful to Naval for trusting a stranger from the internet to create a book out of his words. This all started with a half-assed tweet, and became something great because of your trust and support. I appreciate your responsiveness, generosity, and trust.
我万分感激纳瓦尔，他竟信任一个网上结识的陌生人，让对方用他的言论著书。这一切始于一条随意发出的推文，因你的信任与支持，最终成就了一番大事。感谢你积极回应、慷慨相助与充分信任。
I am grateful to Babak Nivi for the most succinct and precise writing advice I’ve ever received. You have been generous with your time to make this book better, and I really appreciate it.

I massively appreciate all of the effort that goes into your interviews. Creating this book gave me and others the opportunity to learn deeply from your work.

我感激父母给予的每一份馈赠、付出的每一份心血以及做出的每一次牺牲，正因如此，我才有机会创作这本书。你们为我所做的一切奠定了基石，我永志难忘。在这个项目里，家里 “坦诚疑虑” 的传统依旧延续。
