2、he freeway and sitting in garages and driveways up and down your street. People will care about your car just as much as you care about all of those. Got a new gewgaw? New wardrobe?

3、ont. And if they do, they either want your stuff or hate you for it.買了輛新車？沒(méi)人會(huì)注意。在幾周內(nèi)會(huì)有一些看客看稀奇但他們不在乎。僅是出于好奇。三周后這輛閃耀的車將淹沒(méi)在無(wú)止境的高速公路上，默默地停在車庫(kù)里或者伏行于街頭巷尾。人們關(guān)注你的車，就如你關(guān)注別人的車一樣。低價(jià)入手了樣寶貝？買了個(gè)衣櫥？去了家高級(jí)餐廳？到國(guó)外去度假？人家不在乎。別把自己的幸福建立在別人的關(guān)注上，因?yàn)闆](méi)人在乎。如果有的話，要么他們就是想奪你所愛，要么就是嫉妒你。Some rule breakers will break rule number one.

4、總有些人會(huì)打破首條規(guī)律。Occasionally, people in your life will defy the odds and actually care about you. Still not your stuff, sorry. But if they value you, theyll value that you value it, and theyll listen. When you talk about all of those things that nobody else cares about, they will look into your eyes and

5、 consume your words, and in that moment you will know that every part of them is there with you.好巧不巧，生活中往往會(huì)有那么些人否定陳規(guī)并且在乎你。但他們?cè)诤醯娜匀徊皇悄愕母綄倨罚?。要是他們珍視你，他們就?huì)覺(jué)得你值得擁有這一切，并會(huì)傾聽你。當(dāng)你與之談?wù)撃切o(wú)人問(wèn)津的周遭時(shí)，對(duì)方會(huì)注視著你，感受你的每一個(gè)字節(jié)，就在那個(gè)時(shí)刻，你會(huì)感覺(jué)出他們是全身心同你一起。Spend your life with rule breakers.與在乎你的人攜手前行。Marry them. Befriend them.

6、 Work with them. Spend weekends with them. No matter how much power you become possessed of, youll never be able to make someone careso gather close the caring.與之成婚。或者與之友好。亦或者與之同事。用你的閑暇時(shí)光與之相度。因?yàn)闊o(wú)論你變得多么強(qiáng)大，你都無(wú)法強(qiáng)迫別人來(lái)關(guān)心你所以要珍愛關(guān)愛你的人。Money is cheap.金錢廉價(jià)。I mean, theres a lot of ittrillions upon trillions of

7、 dollars floating around the world, largely made up of cash whose value is made up and ascribed to it, anyway. Dont engineer your life around getting a slightly less tiny portion of this pile, and make your spirit of generosity reflect this principle. I knew a man who became driven by the desire to

8、amass six figures in savings, so he worked and scrimped and sacrificed to get there. And he did right before he died of cancer. Im sure his wifes new husband appreciated his diligence.我的意思是，鈔票數(shù)不勝數(shù)全世界票子滿天飛，然而印有面值的現(xiàn)金就占了半壁江山。不要為了金山一角，而讓你的人生被吞噬在了無(wú)盡的錢堆里。何不使慷慨的品質(zhì)折現(xiàn)出富有的精神。我認(rèn)識(shí)一個(gè)被財(cái)欲驅(qū)使的人，為了斂收萬(wàn)貫家產(chǎn)，他努力工作，省吃儉用，不

9、達(dá)目標(biāo)誓不罷休。最終他成功了就在癌癥病發(fā)死亡前。我相信他老婆的新任丈夫肯定會(huì)感激他的勤勉。Money is expensive.金錢可貴。I mean, its difficult to get your hands on sometimesand you never know when someones going to pull the floorboards out from under youso dont be stupid with it.

13、現(xiàn)象，但不要樂(lè)呵地認(rèn)為那是進(jìn)入成年期的標(biāo)志-債務(wù)代表著不平衡，從某種意義上講，往往是缺乏自控力的表現(xiàn)。學(xué)生貸款債務(wù)是不可避免的，但也非必定的-我和妻子總共用了十年時(shí)間讀完大學(xué)，卻是零負(fù)債。如果你無(wú)法避免，那么，就要確保你的學(xué)歷是門投資，而不是債務(wù)-我就為那些花掉數(shù)萬(wàn)美金僅僅去追求模糊的文科學(xué)位，同時(shí)又不懂得人生抱負(fù)的人感到悲哀。如果你是因?yàn)橐粫r(shí)頭腦短路而大把地把學(xué)費(fèi)往水里扔，那還不如退學(xué)后花幾周的時(shí)間游遍歐洲-我保證你途中會(huì)錢半功倍。Learn the ancient art of rhetoric.學(xué)習(xí)古老的修辭藝術(shù)。The elements of rhetoric, in all of t

14、heir forms, are what make the world go aroundbecause they are what prompt the decisions people make.

17、，看穿小人玩的把戲。屆時(shí)，你不僅會(huì)對(duì)廣告、營(yíng)銷、販子和銷售員的類詐騙型糖衣炮彈產(chǎn)生免疫，你也會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己擁有了影響他人的言辭藝術(shù)。當(dāng)你知道如何用話語(yǔ)來(lái)改變他人的主意，增強(qiáng)他人自信，撫平小孩心中的恐懼時(shí)，那么你就早已掌握了這門藝術(shù)。然而，使用這門藝術(shù)時(shí)切記：在任何爭(zhēng)辯中，你的敵人不是對(duì)方，而是無(wú)知。You are responsible to everyone, but youre responsible for yourself.對(duì)別人負(fù)責(zé)的是你，對(duì)你負(fù)責(zé)的還是你。I believe were responsible to everyone for something, even if its

18、something as basic as an affirmation of their humanity. However, it should most often go far beyond that and manifest itself in service to others, to being a voice for the voiceless.

Nobody else is going to find success for you, and nobody else is going to instill happiness into you from the outside. Thats on you.我相信我們?cè)谀承┦虑樯闲枰獙?duì)每個(gè)人負(fù)責(zé)，即使那些事情簡(jiǎn)單得不過(guò)是肯定他人的人格。然而，我們肩負(fù)的責(zé)任遠(yuǎn)非如此，它需要體現(xiàn)在為別人鞠躬效力，為那些沉默的人吶喊。如果你在看這篇文章，

20、你的周遭還有一些人，他們身上的擔(dān)子比你的要重，他們需要撫慰，需要尊重，需要機(jī)遇。相反，能對(duì)你負(fù)責(zé)的只有你自己。別人不會(huì)幫你通往成功，也不會(huì)幫你從外界找到快樂(lè)。只能靠你自己。Learn to see reality in terms of systems.學(xué)會(huì)在體系中認(rèn)清現(xiàn)實(shí)。When you understand the world around you as a massive web of interconnected, largely interdependent systems, things get much less mystifyingand the less we either

Do what you need to in order to keep your footing.有時(shí)再細(xì)致的計(jì)劃也會(huì)在混亂中搞砸，如果你人生中的經(jīng)濟(jì)、情感或者其他觀念沒(méi)有回旋的余地，那混亂會(huì)反復(fù)無(wú)常地騷擾到你。險(xiǎn)要冒，準(zhǔn)備也要做-我嚴(yán)重懷疑說(shuō)計(jì)劃B只是弱者的象征的人，覺(jué)得這類人會(huì)食不果腹。你只需做自己該做的，一步一腳印。You both need and dont need other people.你依賴別人，卻又必須獨(dú)立。You need others in a sense
