20来岁的你也许还没明白的20件重要的事

Be the First In & Last to Leave -– I give this advice to everyone starting a new job or still in the formative stages of their professional career. You have more ground to make up than everyone else around you, and you do have something to prove. There’s only one sure-fire way to get ahead, and that’s to work harder than all of your peers.

第一个上班，最后一个离开——我把这条建议送给每一位刚开始从事一份新工作，或者职业生涯依然处于形成阶段的年轻人。相较于你周围的每个人，你需要学习更多东西，你需要做出一些能够证明自己的成绩。通往成功的道路只有一条是安全可靠的，那就是比你的同事更加努力地工作。

Don’t Wait to Be Told What to Do– You can’t have a sense of entitlement without a sense of responsibility. You’ll never get ahead by waiting for someone to tell you what to do. Saying “nobody asked me to do this” is a guaranteed recipe for failure. Err on the side of doing too much, not too little.

不要等着别人告诉你怎么做——没有责任感，就无法获得成就感。如果你总是等着别人告诉你该怎么做，你就永远也不会成功。总是说“没人要我这样做”的人是注定要失败的。宁可因做得多而犯错，也不能做得少。

Take Responsibility for Your Mistakes– You should be making lots of mistakes when you’re early on in your career. But you shouldn’t be defensive about errors in judgment or execution. Stop trying to justify your F-ups. You’re only going to grow by embracing the lessons learned from your mistakes, and committing to learn from those experiences.
