What is the best habit you've taken up from another person?
你从他人身上学到的最好的习惯是什么？
I was sitting in the lunch room playing speed chess with another developer one day when the CEO of our company walked in.
一天我和另一位开发者在餐厅一起下国际象棋时，我们公司的CEO走了进来
To my surprise, he said, "Hey guys, mind if I play winner?"
出乎我意料的是，他说，“你们好，待会可以让我和赢家PK一下吗？”

Despite the insane demands of his job, he was actually pretty good at chess.
尽管他工作的内容那么多，但是他其实挺擅长玩国际象棋的
When I asked him how he found time to keep his skills sharp, he said, "Oh, I don't. I only play once or twice a year. My uncle was a competitive chess player, and he just gave me a single piece of advice to follow:every time your opponent moves, slow down and try to understand the game from their perspective - why did they make that move?"
当我问他，如何找空闲时间保持自己的玩象棋的水平的，他说，哦，并没有，我一年只玩一到两次，我舅舅经常参加国际象棋的比赛，他给过我一条建议，每次你的对手挪动一步时，放慢速度，试着分析为什么他们会走这一步来看待全局。
I've since made a habit of doing this. And this habit has helped in negotiations and other adversarial situations as well.
从此，我也开始养成这种习惯，这个习惯同样也帮助我和其他人谈判和协商等等。
