9 – Stop Wasting Time
9 –不要浪费时间
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: time is the most valuable resource we have. Don’t waste your time on unproductive things. If you want to explore the world’s dark corners, that’s great. I still associate with people who have not-so-kosher careers, but I don’t hang out with those people at the expense of my own short- and long-term goals.
我曾经说过,接下来我还会再说:时间是我们所拥有的最宝贵的资源。不要把你的时间浪费在一些没有价值的事情上。如果你想要探索这个世界的黑暗角落,那就太棒了。我也认识一些没有固定工作的一些自由职业者,但我不会以牺牲自己的短期或长期的目标为代价跟他们出去玩乐。
10 –Stop Making Promises
10 –不要给别人承诺
Always under-promise and over-deliver. When you make a promise, you’re adding responsibility to your plate that, despite all your best intentions, you may not be able to deliver on. More often than not, your promise is an absolute (i.e “I promise I’ll always love you),and only Sith deal in absolutes. Instead of making a promise with your words, simply be there when people need you, and exceed their expectations with your actions.
总是做出承诺,却总是做不到。当你每次做出承诺的时候,不仅给自己增添了责任,无论你的出发点有多好,你都不可能完成所有的事情。很多时候,你的承诺都太过绝对(比如“我发誓我永远爱你),也只能在绝对的条件下才能实现。与其许下承诺,还不如在别人需要你的时候出现,然后用行动达到他们的期望。
