Live by this motto: “The world is full of money. Some of it has my name on it. All I have to do is collect it.” Then go about looking for money with your name in it. You can find it in established industries (if you put a new spin on something) or in new industries.

“Screwing up isn’t criminal or deliberate or malevolent. But covering up is, if you get caught. And you will get caught—ask the shade of Richard Nixon. Closing down a business or going into bankruptcy is a miserable affair at any time. My advice is not to make it worse by omitting to apologize and shoulder the responsibility squarely. But don’t take it too much to heart. There’s always the chance of a comeback.”

“搞砸不是犯罪,也不是故意或恶意的。但掩盖是,如果你被抓住了。你会被抓住的——问问理查德·尼克松的影子。在任何时候,关闭一家企业或破产都是一件悲惨的事情。我的建议是,不要因为不道歉和直接承担责任而使事情变得更糟。但不要太在意。总会有卷土重来的机会。”
如果你搞砸了,就承认你的错误

You have to believe in yourself, even when the little self-doubt monster pays you a visit.That's because if you don't believe you can do it, no one else will either.

Talent is usually conscious of its own value. But the currency of that value is not necessarily a million-dollar salary. The opportunity to prove themselves, and sometimes the chance to run the show on a day-to-day basis, will often do the trick just as well. This holds true even if talent is placed in the driver's seat of a small division within an existing operation. What talent seeks, as often as not, is the chance to prove itself and the opportunity to excel.

天赋通常意识到自己的价值。但这种价值的货币不一定是一百万美元的工资。证明自己的机会,有时是每天主持节目的机会,往往也能很好地发挥作用。即使人才被安排在现有业务中的一个小部门的驾驶席上,这也是正确的。天赋所追求的,往往是证明自己的机会和脱颖而出的机会。

“Wishing for or desiring something is futile without an inner compulsion to achieve it. Such lack of compulsion, if not frankly acknowledged, can lead to great personal unhappiness. We have all met deeply unhappy souls muddling along in professions or careers for which they are patently unsuited. Worse still, by continually wishing and never delivering, you risk denting your confidence, beginning a vicious downward spiral that appears to draw misfortune like a magnet. The assumption that you might be able to achieve some goal if you only wished hard enough is not just a f***-up. It’s a potential personal tragedy.”

“如果没有实现某件事的内在冲动,对它的愿望或渴望是徒劳的。这种缺乏冲动,如果不坦率地承认,可能会导致巨大的个人不快乐。我们都遇到过非常不快乐的人,他们在显然不适合的职业或事业中混日子。更糟糕的是,如果不断地希望而从不实现,你就有可能削弱你的信心,开始一个恶性循环,就像磁铁一样引来不幸。如果你只希望足够努力,你可能会实现某个目标,这种假设不仅仅是一种骗局。这是一场潜在的个人悲剧。”
You can amass enough money to be comfortable if you earn a salary working for others, but you will not get rich this way. That does not mean that you should never work for other people.

You can learn skills, see how other people do business, and understand more about running an organization.
