凯文·凯利 ，男，人们经常亲昵地称他为 （KK），《连线》（Wired）杂志创始主编。在创办《连线》之前，是《全球概览》杂志（The Whole Earth Catalog，乔布斯最喜欢的杂志）的编辑和出版人。1984年，KK发起了第一届黑客大会（Hackers Conference）。他的文章还出现在《纽约时报》、《经济学人》、《时代》、《科学》等重量级媒体和杂志上。
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。

Optimize your generosity. No one on their deathbed has ever regretted giving too much away.
尽量慷慨。没有人在临终前会后悔自己给予了太多。

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.
要做出不错的东西，要大胆去做它。要想做出好的东西，需要一次又一次去做。做好东西的秘诀在于重新去做。

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。

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。

Friends are better than money. Almost anything money can do， friends can do better. In so many ways a friend with a boat is better than owning a boat.
朋友比钱更好。几乎所有金钱能做的事情，朋友都能做得更好。在许多方面，有一个有船的朋友比自己有一艘船要好。

When an object is lost， 95% of the time it is hiding within arm’s reach of where it was last seen. Search in all possible locations in that radius and you’ll find it.
一个东西丢了，95%的情况，它都在你最后一次见到它的地方一臂可及的范围内。在这个半径内所有可能的位置进行搜索，你就会找到它。

You are what you do. Not what you say， not what you believe， not how you vote， but what you spend your time on.
你做什么，你就是什么。不是你说什么，不是你相信什么，不是你如何投票，而是你把时间花在什么地方。

If you lose or forget to bring a cable，adapter or charger，check with your hotel. Most hotels now have a drawer full of cables，adapters and chargers others have left behind，and probably have the one you are missing. You can often claim it after borrowing it.
如果你丢失或忘记带充电线、适配器或充电器，请问问酒店前台。现在大多数酒店都有一个抽屉，里面装满了别人留下的充电线、适配器和充电器，可能就有你丢失的那个，你通常可以借来用用。
