1. It’s important to be able to present you ideas well, especially in writing. 能充分地表达自己的观点很重要，特别是以书面形式。——斯泰西斯奈德 2. When someone rejects your work, register the fact that they don’t’ like it, but don’t listen to the reason why. People feel that they have to say something, and they often give a capricious justification to keep from hurting your feelings. 别人否定你的作品时，记住他们不喜欢它这件事实，但别去听理由。为了不伤害你的感情，人们常会觉得必须得说点儿什么，他们给出的往往是模棱两可的理由。——马修威纳 3. Use the words ‘we’ and ‘us’ when referring to your business. Never use ‘I’ and ‘me.’ It sounds egotistical. 谈到自己的工作时要说‘我们’，千万不要说‘我’。这会显得很自大。——迈克尔布隆伯格 4. You could have a 300 horsepower motor and get 300 horsepower out of it or you can get a lot less. The people who I see function well are not the ones with the biggest motors, but the ones with the most efficient ones. 一台标着300马力的发动机实际输出的功率可能远远小于300马力。在我看来，能做好事情的人并不是‘马力最大的’，而是效率最高的。——沃伦巴菲特 5. It’s important to put the idea of dying in your daily life because it helps you to appreciate your existence on this planet. 在你的日常生活中，意识到自己正走向死亡很重要，这样你会对活在这个星球上心存感激。——玛丽娜阿布拉莫维奇 6. When you have to say no, do it nicely. We get pitched about five hundred television shows a year and only put for new ones on the air … but we want those same people to come back to us when they have a hit show. 如果必须拒绝他人，态度友善一点。每年我们收到各方推荐的电视节目近500部，但只播出那些有新意的……但我们希望回头等这些人制作出热门节目时，还愿意来找我们。——莱斯穆维斯 7. Understanding your strengths and weaknesses can take a long time and can even be a painful process, but it’s one of the most important things to do in life. 了解自己的优点和缺点可能需要很长时间，过程甚至会很痛苦，但这是人生中最重要的事之一。——尼廷诺里亚 8. Social change is better achieved by being for something than against something. 要实现社会变革，支持某些事是比反对某些事更好的途径。——海琳盖尔
