原文含义:

A pen is certainly an excellent Instrument, to fix a Mans Attention nad to inflame his Ambition.
-John Adam

笔，一支笔毫无疑问是一件利器，或调正他的注意力， 也能引燃他的（内在）的动力。

In life we may often heard, or in shanghai idiom, people used to say a pen is worth or handy than any good mind; 好记性不如烂笔头“-\"hao-ji-xing, buru-lai-bi-tou\" ; surely it refers, actually in real life to those do not have a good memory, its better to take it down, to make his note; so the meaning is far less than what above mentioned. but, a good habit of writing something down, definitely assists a man in his business. I guess it interprets the some part of quoted, and John Adam said long ago in his autobiograph.
