十一月杂记1

就像《无问西东》里,梅校长对吴岭澜说的:人把自己置身于忙碌当中,有一种麻木的踏实,但丧失了真实。

出走半生,归来仍是少年

我们是承认它存在、允许它出现,但是不受它影响。

贝佐斯认为,在这个世界上想做好任何有趣或者重要的事,需要一定程度的长远思考的能力,也就是要有耐心,以此来延迟满足感。在贝佐斯看来,所有一夜之间的功成名就,都有着十年左右的付出。

真正的发现之旅不在于追求新的景色,而在于换一种新的眼光。

To make money they didn’t have and didn’t need, they risked what they did have and did need. And that is just plain foolish. If you risk something important to you for something unimportant to you, it just doesn’t make any sense.” – Buffett on the LTCM meltdown.

“为了赚取他们没有但也不需要的钱,他们把自己已经拥有而且需要的钱赌上去了。这简直是愚蠢的。如果你拿重要的东西去冒险获取一些不重要的东西,这没有任何意义。“ - 巴菲特对LTCM崩溃的评论。

A key here is realizing there are smart people who may perform better than you this year or next, but without a paranoid room for error they are more likely to get wiped out, or give up, when they eventually come across something they didn’t expect. Paranoia gives your bold bets a fighting chance at surviving long enough to grow into something meaningful.

这里的关键是要意识到总有聪明的人可能今年或明年的业绩比你更好,但如果没有对出错给予恐惧和敬畏, 当他们最终遇到没有预期到的事情发生的时候, 他们更有可能被淘汰或抛弃。恐惧为你的大胆下注提供了存活足够长的机会从而成长为有意义的东西。

A good storyteller with a decent idea will always have more influence than someone with a great idea who hopes the facts will speak for themselves. People often wonder why so many unthoughtful people end up in government. The answer is easy:

一个有着好想法并且会讲故事的人总会比一个有好想法但希望希望事实能说明一切的人更有影响力。人们常常想知道为什么这么多无知的人最终会进入政府。答案很简单:

Politicians do not win elections to make policies; they make policies to win elections. What’s most persuasive to voters isn’t whether an idea is right, but whether it narrates a story that confirms what they see and believe in the world.

政治家赢得选举不是为了制定政策; 他们制定政策是为了赢得选举。对选民最有说服力的不是一个政策想法是否正确,而是它是否叙述了一个故事,这个故事印证了他们所看到和相信的世界。

It’s hard to overstate this: The main use of facts is their ability to give stories credibility. But the stories are always what persuade. Focusing on the message as much as the substance is not only a unique skill; it’s an easy one to overlook.

实际的情况是:事实的主要用途只是给故事赋予可信度。但这些故事才是人信服的原因。不光专注于信息而且专注本质是一种独特的技能; 这是一个容易忽视的问题。

Delayed gratification isn’t about  surrounding yourself with temptations and hoping to say no to them. No one is good at that. The smart way to handle long-term thinking is enjoying what you’re doing day to day enough that the terminal rewards don’t constantly cross your mind.

 

延迟满足感并不是让自己被诱惑所包围,然后希望自己对他们说不。没有人擅长这一点。形成长期思维的聪明方法是享受你日常所做的事情,不让最后的激励跑到你的脑子里来。

钱用了才是你的

读书只是一个手段,独立思考才是目标,而且独立思考之后还要行动,要达到知行合一的境界。

You never change,you see only impediments

and obstacles!

要开放心态,首除心魔!

学习学习的方法

没有选择的选择什么也代表不了

倘若一个人表现的过于想赢,那他就已经输了一筹

山无棱,天地合,乃敢与君绝

公无渡河,公竟渡河,堕河而死,将奈公何?

学习没有捷径,需要的是有意为之,积极集中注意力,并且一定要与你的需求有关,唯有如此才可以迅速应用。

善藏者,人不可知,能知者,人无以藏
