Sales rarely get made on the first pitch. Just because you believe in something doesn’t mean everyone else will. You need to be able to sell your vision with conviction over and over again. Most people don’t like change, so you need to be able to convince them why they should accept it. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want.
极少有人能在首次推介中完成销售。仅仅因为你对一些事物有信念，并不意味着其他人也愿意接受。你需要能够一次又一次坚定地推销你的愿景。大多数人不喜欢改变，所以你需要说服他们为什么要接受改变。不要因为畏惧而不去争取自己想得到的东西。
解决问题的最好方法就是找到一种让它变得无关紧要的方法。
