Be prepared: When you are 90% done any large project (a house， a film， an event， an app) the rest of the myriad details will take a second 90% to complete.
做好准备。当你完成任何大型项目（房子、电影、活动、App）的90%时，其余无数的细节将需要第二个90%来完成。

Before you are old， attend as many funerals as you can bear， and listen. Nobody talks about the departed’s achievements. The only thing people will remember is what kind of person you were while you were achieving.
在你年老之前，尽可能多地参加你能承受的葬礼，并仔细倾听。没有人会谈论逝者的成就。人们唯一会记得的是你在取得成就时是个什么样的人。

For every dollar you spend purchasing something substantial， expect to pay a dollar in repairs， maintenance， or disposal by the end of its life.
你每花一块钱购买一些实质性的东西，预计在其寿命结束时要支付一块钱的维修、保养或处理费用。

Anything real begins with the fiction of what could be. Imagination is therefore the most potent force in the universe， and a skill you can get better at. It’s the one skill in life that benefits from ignoring what everyone else knows.
任何真实的东西都始于对可能发生的事情的虚构。因此，想象力是宇宙中最强大的力量，也是一种你可以变得更好的技能。它是生活中的一种技能，帮助你从其他人忽视的事情中获益。

When crisis and disaster strike， don’t waste them. No problems， no progress.

On vacation go to the most remote place on your itinerary first， bypassing the cities. You‘ll maximize the shock of otherness in the remote， and then later you’ll welcome the familiar comforts of a city on the way back.
度假时先去行程中最偏远的地方，绕开城市。在偏远地区，你会最大限度地感受到另类的冲击，然后在回来的路上，你会回到城市中熟悉的舒适。

When you get an invitation to do something in the future， ask yourself: would you accept this if it was scheduled for tomorrow？ Not too many promises will pass that immediacy filter.
当你收到在未来做某事的邀请时，问问自己：如果这件事安排在明天，你会接受吗？这可以筛选掉大部分事情。

Don’t say anything about someone in email you would not be comfortable saying to them directly， because eventually they will read it.

If you desperately need a job， you are just another problem for a boss； if you can solve many of the problems the boss has right now， you are hired. To be hired， think like your boss.
如果你迫切需要一份工作，你只是老板的又一个问题；如果你能解决老板现在的许多问题，你就稳了。想找到工作，就要像你的老板那样思考。

Acquiring things will rarely bring you deep satisfaction. But acquiring experiences will.

Rule of 7 in research. You can find out anything if you are willing to go seven levels. If the first source you ask doesn’t know， ask them who you should ask next， and so on down the line. If you are willing to go to the 7th source， you’ll almost always get your answer.
研究7法则。如果你愿意进入七个层次，你就能找到任何东西。如果你问的第一个信源不知道答案，就问他们你应该问谁，以此类推。如果你愿意问到第七个，你几乎总是能得到答案。

Don’t ever respond to a solicitation or a proposal on the phone. The urgency is a disguise.
永远不要在电话中回应恳求或提议。迫切性是一种伪装。

When someone is nasty， rude， hateful， or mean with you， pretend they have a disease. That makes it easier to have empathy toward them which can soften the conflict.
当有人对你讨厌、粗鲁、憎恨或刻薄时，假设他们是病人。这使你更容易对他们产生共情，从而缓和冲突。

You really don’t want to be famous. Read the biography of any famous person.

Experience is overrated. When hiring， hire for aptitude， train for skills. Most really amazing or great things are done by people doing them for the first time.
经验被高估了。在招聘的时候，要为能力而招聘，为技能而培训。大多数真正惊人或伟大的事情都是由第一次做这些事情的人完成的。

Buying tools: Start by buying the absolute cheapest tools you can find. Upgrade the ones you use a lot. If you wind up using some tool for a job， buy the very best you can afford.
购买工具。从购买你能找到的最便宜的工具开始。升级你经常使用的工具。如果你在某项工作中最终选择使用了某种工具，就买你能负担得起的最好的。
