I have never met a person I admired who did not read more books than I did.

Finite games are played to win or lose. Infinite games are played to keep the game going. Seek out infinite games because they yield infinite rewards.
有限的游戏是为了输赢。无限的游戏是为了让游戏继续。应该去寻找无限的游戏，因为它们会产出无限的收益。

Everything is hard before it is easy. The day before something is a breakthrough， it’s a stupid idea.
任何事情在变容易之前都是困难的。在某个东西成为一个突破之前，它都只是一个愚蠢的想法。

When you are stuck， sleep on it. Let your subconscious work for you.
如果你被困住了，去睡一觉。让你的潜意识来帮你解决问题。

Your work will be endless， but your time is finite. You cannot limit the work so you must limit your time. Hours are the only thing you can manage.
你的工作是无穷无尽的，但你的时间是有限的。你无法限制你的工作，所以你必须限制自己的时间。时间是你唯一可以管理的东西。

To succeed， get other people to pay you； to become wealthy， help other people to succeed.
想要成功，就让别人付钱给你；想要富有，就去帮助别人成功。

Children totally accept — and crave — family rules. “In our family we have a rule for X” is the only excuse a parent needs for setting a family policy. In fact， “I have a rule for X” is the only excuse you need for your own personal policies.
孩子完全接受——甚至渴望——家规。「在我们家，我们对 X 有一个规矩」是家长设立家庭规范时所需的唯一理由。事实上，「我对 X 有一个规矩」是你给自己设定规范所需的唯一理由。

This is the best time ever to make something. None of the greatest， coolest creations 20 years from now have been invented yet. You are not late.
现在是去创造一些东西的最好时机。未来 20 年最伟大、最酷的发明都还没有出现。你并没有迟到。

Every person you meet knows an amazing lot about something you know virtually nothing about. Your job is to discover what it is， and it won’t be obvious.
你遇见的每一个人，都对某些你一无所知的东西了如指掌。你要做的就是去发现那是什么东西，当然那并不会很明显。

When making something， always get a few extras — extra material， extra parts， extra space， extra finishes. The extras serve as backups for mistakes， reduce stress， and fill your inventory for the future. They are the cheapest insurance.
做东西的时候，总要多备上一些——额外的材料、额外的部件、额外的空间、额外的饰面。这些额外的东西可以为错误提供备份、减轻压力，还可以为未来储备资源。它们是最便宜的保险。

Something does not need to be perfect to be wonderful. Especially weddings.
有些东西不需要达到完美，就已经足够精彩了。特别是婚礼。

The best way to untangle a knotty tangle is not to “untie” the knots， but to keep pulling the loops apart wider and wider. Just make the mess as big， loose and open as possible. As you open up the knots they will unravel themselves. Works on cords， strings， hoses， yarns， or electronic cables.
打开纠缠在一起的绳结的最好方法，不是要去「解开」绳结，而是要不断地把松动的部分拉得更宽。尽可能把那团乱麻弄大、弄松、弄开。当你打开绳结的时候，它们就会自行解开。这招适用于绳索、线、软管、毛线或者电线。
