大多数人都是随遇而安。这没什么问题 — 有时候我们需要尝试才能找出喜欢什么 —— 但我认为我们可以更加慎重筹划。尝试去发现并不断优化形成你对自己人生职业目标的坚定信念。
The framework I’ve found most useful for helping people think through career decisions is to consider both impact maximization and regret minimization—a decision that scores well on both is likely to be a good one.
我发现帮助人们思考职业决定的最有用的框架是：影响最大化和遗憾最小化
。一个决定，如果两个条件都满足，可能是一个好的决定。
2. On Achieving Success （如何实现成功）
The way to get things done in the world is a combination of focus, personal connections, and self-belief.
在这个世界上，实现目标的方法是三者的结合：聚焦，个人网络和自信。
You should work really hard. You should be willing to do whatever it takes; society doesn’t owe you success. Be a doer, not a talker – history belongs to the doers.
你应该努力工作。你应该去做任何达到目标必须的事情; 社会不欠你的成功。
让自己成为一个行动者
，而不是一个高谈阔论者 — 历史属于行动者。
Whatever you choose to do, you’ve got to believe in your own capacity to succeed. People will doubt you and think your goals are impossible or dumb, but you have to stand behind your convictions.
无论你选择做什么，你都必须相信自己有能力成功。
人们会怀疑你，认为你的目标是不可能或愚蠢的，但你必须坚信你的信念。
It’s ok to start off motivated by wanting to make a lot of money or wanting fame and glory. At some point though, most people need to find a deeper mission to keep pushing forward.
开始的时候， 你的动力可能是因为钱或想要的名望和荣耀。但到了某些时候，
大多数人需要找到一个更深的使命才能继续前进。
The right way to think about your career is like compound interest; if you put in long hours at the start of your career and get a little bit better at what you do every day, you’re going to accomplish more than others. That builds up a compound effect that will extend throughout your entire career. Life is obviously unfair and you don’t know what will happen, but all else equal it becomes a major advantage.
思考你职业生涯的正确方式是复利思维
；如果你在职业生涯的开始的时候花了很长时间，并且每天都不断进步，那么你将比其他人做得更好。这将产生一种复利效果，使你整个职业生涯都因此受益。生活显然是不公平的，你不知道会发生什么，但如果其他方面都相当，这会成为你的一个主要优势。
Enjoy your life when you’re young – it’s a true cliche that you only have your youth once – but work harder than most people think you should. I’ve come to believe that burnout isn’t so much associated with working too hard, but instead from things not working out. If you have momentum with whatever you’re working on, you’ll stay motivated and refreshed.
当你年轻时，享受你的生活 — 因为青春只有一次，这是陈词滥调 — 但别忘了要比别人想象的更努力工作。我现在相信，倦怠不是因为为工作太辛苦的原因，而是工作没有成果。如果你现在做的事情势头不错，你会保持动力，并且精力充沛。
