History teaches us that in 100 years from now some of the assumptions you believed will turn out to be wrong. A good question to ask yourself today is “What might I be wrong about?”

历史教育我们,你现在相信的假定在 100 年后很可能会被证明是错的。一个在今天就可以问自己的好问题就是「我可能错在哪里了?」

Advice like these are not laws. They are like hats. If one doesn’t fit, try another.

这些建议都不是定律。它们更像是帽子。如果其中一顶不合适的话,就试试另一顶。

When you forgive others, they may not notice, but you will heal. Forgiveness is not something we do for others; it is a gift to ourselves.

当宽恕他人时,对方可能不会注意到,但你会被治愈。宽恕不是我们为他人做的事;而是给自己的礼物。

Courtesy costs nothing. Lower the toilet seat after use. Let the people in the elevator exit before you enter. Return shopping carts to their designated areas. When you borrow something, return it better shape (filled up, cleaned) than when you got it.

礼貌,并不需要花钱。用完马桶后,把马桶盖放下;上电梯时,耐心等别人出来再进去;把购物车放回指定区域;在借东西时,归还时要东西的状态要比你借的时候还要好(例如给车加满油、把物品清理干净)。

Efficiency is highly overrated; Goofing off is highly underrated. Regularly scheduled sabbaths, sabbaticals, vacations, breaks, aimless walks and time off are essential for top performance of any kind. The best work ethic requires a good rest ethic.

效率(的重要性)被过度强调了,而放空(的重要性)则被严重低估了。定期的周日安息、职业年假、度假出游、工作日中的茶歇、漫无目的的散步和离开工作的时间,对一切领域获得顶级成就都极其重要。最好的工作,需要有良好的休息作为保障。

Life lessons will be presented to you in the order they are needed. Everything you need to master the lesson is within you. Once you have truly learned a lesson, you will be presented with the next one. If you are alive, that means you still have lessons to learn.

人生的每一门课程会随时间依次呈现给你。掌握所需的一切能力取决于你的内心。一旦你真正掌握了一门课的精髓,你自然就会进入下一门课。只要你还活着,你就仍然有课要学。
