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.

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.
你不会想要想成名，不信去读读任何一本名人传记。

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。

Following your bliss is a recipe for paralysis if you don’t know what you are passionate about. A better motto for most youth is “master something， anything”. Through mastery of one thing， you can drift towards extensions of that mastery that bring you more joy， and eventually discover where your bliss is.
如果你不知道自己对什么有热情，也要知道单纯追求快乐会让人麻痹。对大多数年轻人来说，一个更好的座右铭是“掌握一些东西，无论什么东西”。通过掌握某种技能，你可以朝着能给你带来更多快乐的方向延伸发展，并最终发现你的幸福所在。

I’m positive that in 100 years much of what I take to be true today will be proved to be wrong， maybe even embarrassingly wrong， and I try really hard to identify what it is that I am wrong about today.
我很肯定，100年后，我们今天认为是正确无误的事情，很多都会被证明是错误的，甚至可能是令人尴尬的错误，我非常努力地去寻找我今天错在哪里。

Over the long term， the future is decided by optimists. To be an optimist you don’t have to ignore all the many problems we create； you just have to imagine improving our capacity to solve problems.
从长远来看，未来是由乐观主义者决定的。成为一个乐观主义者，不是要忽视现有的许多问题，而是想象怎么才能改善我们解决问题的能力。

The universe is conspiring behind your back to make you a success. This will be much easier to do if you embrace this pronoia.

That thing that made you weird as a kid could make you great as an adult — if you don’t lose it.
让你在小时候显得很怪的东西，反而会让你在长大后成为一个很棒的人——如果你还没有失去它的话。

If you have any doubt at all about being able to carry a load in one trip， do yourself a huge favor and make two trips.
如果你对自己是否能一次搞定怀有任何疑虑的话，就对自己好点，分两次搞定吧。

What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. At your funeral people will not recall what you did； they will only remember how you made them feel.
实现目标后的结果，远没有实现目标过程中的成长重要。在你的葬礼上，人们不会去回忆你的功绩；他们只会记得你带给他们的感觉。

It’s not an apology if it comes with an excuse. It is not a compliment if it comes with a request.
如果道歉夹带了借口，那就算不上是道歉。如果称赞夹带了要求，那就算不上是称赞。
