• Questioning why everyone lived outtheir lives unfulfilled, unhappy, overweight, and with an underwhelming amount ofenergy. Like their life force had been sucked out of them before they had a chance topursue their gifts like I have mine.
• 质疑为什么每个人都在不满足、不快乐、超重、精力不足中度过一生
• One can know a lot but understand very little. Knowledge is constructed upward,while understanding is discovered inward. Both are useful, but to think thatknowledge will make you happy, healthy, and wise is a fool’s endeavor.
• 一个人可以知道很多，但理解很少。知识是向上构建的，而理解是向内发现的。两者都是有用的，但认为知识会使你快乐、健康和明智是愚人的努力。
• t is wise to try new things, and I would recommend adopting that habit, but you need a project to develop. Without a tangible vessel for your knowledge, skill acquisition, and discoveries, you may end up with years of energy spent with nothing to show for it.
• 尝试新事物是明智的，我建议你养成这个习惯，但你需要一个项目来发展。如果没有一个有形的容器来容纳你的知识、技能和发现，你可能最终会花费多年的精力却一事无成。
• To the masters, repetition of the boring fundamentals is not boring. They have developed intrinsic philosophies and reasoning behind their actions. They look forward to it every day, because they understand that nothing good comes from the quick fix.
• 对大师们来说，重复枯燥的基本功并不枯燥。他们已经形成了内在的哲学和行动背后的推理。他们每天都期待着，因为他们明白，快速解决不了任何问题。
• Focus is a muscle, and success is reserved for those that train it. Training, in this sense, is done at every passing moment. You are focusing your attention right now, and will continue to throughout your day, week, month, year, decade, and so on.
• 专注是一种肌肉，成功只留给那些训练它的人。从这个意义上说，训练是随时随地进行的。你现在正在专注你的注意力，并且会持续一整天，一周，一个月，一年，十年，等等。
• Focus
• Energy
  • In a world where so few people set, and even fewer achieve, their own goals, one can piece together an argument that a new version of slavery has emerged after theIndustrial Revolution. Not physical, but mental.
  • 在一个很少有人设定目标，更少有人实现目标的世界里，人们可以得出这样的结论：在工业革命之后，一种新型的奴隶制已经出现，不是肉体上的，而是精神上的。
• Experience
  • It’s impossible to know with absolute certainty what the future holds. Yet, that’s what the societal machine promises.
  • 绝对确定地知道未来会怎样是不可能的。然而，这就是社会机器所承诺的。
