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.

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。

The more you are interested in others， the more interesting they find you. To be interesting， be interested.
你对别人越感兴趣，别人就对你越感兴趣。要想变得有趣，先有兴趣。

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.

The Golden Rule will never fail you. It is the foundation of all other virtues.

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。

To make mistakes is human. To own your mistakes is divine. Nothing elevates a person higher than quickly admitting and taking personal responsibility for the mistakes you make and then fixing them fairly. If you mess up， fess up. It’s astounding how powerful this ownership is.
犯错是人之常情。承担你的错误是神圣的。没有什么比迅速承认你所犯的错误，并承担个人责任，然后公平地纠正错位更能提升一个人的地位。如果你搞砸了，大胆承认错误吧。这种力量非常强大。

You can obsess about serving your customers/audience/clients， or you can obsess about beating the competition. Both work， but of the two， obsessing about your customers will take you further.
你可以痴迷于服务你的客户/读者/客户，你也可以痴迷于击败竞争对手。两者都有效，但前者会让你走得更远。

Show up. Keep showing up. Somebody successful said: 99% of success is just showing up.
保持在场，持续保持在场。成功人士说过：99％的成功就是因为保持在场赢得的。

Separate the processes of creation from improving. You can’t write and edit， or sculpt and polish， or make and analyze at the same time. If you do， the editor stops the creator. While you invent， don’t select. While you sketch， don’t inspect. While you write the first draft， don’t reflect. At the start， the creator mind must be unleashed from judgement.
把创作和改进的过程分开。你不能同时进行写作和编辑，不能同时雕刻和抛光，不能同时制作和分析。如果你这样做，编辑会阻止创造。当你发明时，不要选择。当你画草图时，不要检查。当你写第一稿时，不要反思。在开始的时候，创造者的头脑必须从评判中解放出来。

If you are not falling down occasionally， you are just coasting.

Perhaps the most counter-intuitive truth of the universe is that the more you give to others， the more you’ll get. Understanding this is the beginning of wisdom.
也许宇宙中最反直觉的真理是：你给别人的越多，你得到的也越多。了解这一点是智慧的开始。
