开放      和   分享       并   不  是 一 个   宣传           口号,
yě bú shì yí gè jiǎndān de gàiniàn.
也 不  是 一个   简单    的   概念。
Kāifàng hěn duō shíhou bèi yòng zuò yí gè zī tài,
开放       很    多   时候      被    用   作 一 个 姿态,
dànshì wǒ gèng lǐjiě zhè shì yì zhǒng nénglì.
但是     我 更    理解 这  是 一 种      能力。

“Openness and Sharing” is neither a slogan, nor a simple concept. I prefer to thinking of openness as an ability, rather than an attitude.
