Don’t take it personally when someone turns you down. Assume they are like you: busy， occupied， distracted. Try again later. It’s amazing how often a second try works.

Treating a person to a meal never fails， and is so easy to do. It’s powerful with old friends and a great way to make new friends.
没有什么是请人搓顿美食不能解决的事情。一起吃顿好的对于巩固老朋友和结交新朋友都很有用。

Never use a credit card for credit. The only kind of credit， or debt， that is acceptable is debt to acquire something whose exchange value is extremely likely to increase， like in a home. The exchange value of most things diminishes or vanishes the moment you purchase them. Don’t be in debt to losers.
不要借贷消费，唯一值得借贷只有一种情况，购买房产这种交换价值极有可能增加的东西。大多数东西的交换价值从你购买的那一刻就会开始减少或消失，不要因债致贫。

Don’t be the smartest person in the room. Hangout with， and learn from， people smarter than yourself. Even better， find smart people who will disagree with you.
不要当房间里最聪明的那个人，与比自己更聪明的人交往，并向他们学习。更好的是找到那些与你意见不同的聪明人。

Rule of 3 in conversation. To get to the real reason， ask a person to go deeper than what they just said. Then again， and once more. The third time’s answer is close to the truth.
沟通“三”原则，要找到真相，让别人比他们之前说的更深一些，一次、两次、三次的重复这个过程，第三次你就接近真相了。

Everyone is shy. Other people are waiting for you to introduce yourself to them， they are waiting for you to send them an email， they are waiting for you to ask them on a date. Go ahead.
所有人都很害羞。别人在等着你介绍自己，等着你给他们发邮件，等着你邀请他们约会。干就完了。

Don’t take it personally when someone turns you down. Assume they are like you: busy， occupied， distracted. Try again later. It’s amazing how often a second try works.
当别人拒绝你的时候，不要在意。假设他们和你一样：忙碌、没时间、注意力分散。稍后再试一次，很神奇，第二次尝试往往会成功。

The purpose of a habit is to remove that action from self-negotiation. You no longer expend energy deciding whether to do it. You just do it. Good habits can range from telling the truth， to flossing
建立习惯的目的，是不用自我谈判，不在决定做一件事上花费精力，你直接就做了。好的习惯包括讲真话、用牙线。

When you are young spend at least 6 months to one year living as poor as you can， owning as little as you possibly can， eating beans and rice in a tiny room or tent， to experience what your “worst” lifestyle might be. That way any time you have to risk something in the future you won’t be afraid of the worst case scenario.
当你年轻的时候，至少花6个月到1年的时间，尽可能地过贫穷的生活，尽可能少地拥有东西，在一个小房间或帐篷里只吃豆子和米饭，以体验你 “最糟糕”的生活方式可能是什么。这样一来，当你将来要冒什么风险时，你就不会害怕最坏的情况了。

To make something good， just do it. To make something great， just re-do it， re-do it， re-do it. The secret to making fine things is in remaking them.

If you are looking for something in your house， and you finally find it， when you’re done with it， don’t put it back where you found it. Put it back where you first looked for it.
如果你在家里找东西，最后找到了，用完之后，不要把它放回你最终找到它的地方。把它放回你最先去找的地方。

Saving money and investing money are both good habits. Small amounts of money invested regularly for many decades without deliberation is one path to wealth.
存钱和投资都是好习惯。几十年来不加思索地定期投资少量资金是通往财富的一条道路。
