36) If you want to do something exceptional, don't expect anyone to believe
you can do it until you've done it. Unless you're already perceived as

people who know you best and have therefore seen you at your most mediocre,

你的父母、家人、朋友哪些知道你有多普通的人。
37) If you don't feel like you're being treated fairly by a company, don't

應付難搞的客戶還有像是你的問題都是他們的主要工作。

45) "If you want your life to have impact, focus it! Stop dabbling. Stop
trying to do it all. Do less. Prune away even good activities and do only
that which matters most. Never confuse activity with productivity. You can be
busy without a purpose, but what's the point?" -- Rick Warren
如果你要你的生活緊縮一點,那就專心一點。不要再閒晃或去玩,最好想都不要想。就算

的教義有點認識,如果我覺得別人的信仰看起來只不過是偽善跟肓從那我和別人有何
不同?」
48) You beat 50% of the people by just showing up. You beat another 40% by
working hard. The last 10% is a dogfight in the free enterprise system.
多表現一點你就打敗了百分之50的人了,再工作認真就打敗剩下百分之40的人,接下來的
百分之10是自由企業體系裡的惡鬥。
49) There are at least six key areas of your life: health, career, romantic,
social, money, and religion. If you neglect any one of those areas, it will
harm you in the other areas and keep you from being as happy as you can be
otherwise.
你的生命中有6個重要關鍵領域:健康、事業、愛情、友情、金錢、信仰。如果你忽視任
何一項,那就會在其他領域裡受傷,同樣的,某個領域的成功或滿足也會幫助到其他的領
