简介
一些简洁明了的人生建议，易于理解，并且能够为日常生活中的各个方面提供实用的指导。
财富 (Possessions)
1. If you want to find out about people’s opinions on a product, google \reddit. You’ll get real people arguing, as compared to the SEO’d Google results.
如果你想了解人们对某个产品的看法，可以在 Google 上搜索 \reddit。相比于 SEO (Search Engine Optimization，搜索引擎优化) 优化过的 Google 结果，你会看到真实的人在争论。
2. Some banks charge you $20 a month for an account, others charge you 0. If you’re with one of the former, have a good explanation for what those $20 are buying.
有些银行每个月会收取你 20 美元的账户费用，另一些银行则不收取任何费用。如果你在前者中的一家银行开户，最好有个合理的解释，说明这 20 美元花在了什么地方。
3. Things you use for a significant fraction of your life (bed: 1/3rd, office-chair: 1/4th) are worth investing in.
对于那些你生活中使用大量时间的东西（床：三分之一，办公椅：四分之一），值得投资。
4. “Where is the good knife?” If you’re looking for your good X, you have bad Xs. Throw those out.
“好刀在哪儿？”如果你在找你的好 X，说明你有坏的 X。把那些坏的扔掉。
5. If your work is done on a computer, get a second monitor. Less time navigating between windows means more time for thinking.
如果你的工作是在电脑上完成的，买第二个显示器。减少在窗口之间切换的时间意味着你有更多的时间思考。
6. Establish clear rules about when to throw out old junk. Once clear rules are established, junk will probably cease to be a problem. This is because any rule would be superior to our implicit rules (“keep this broken stereo for five years in case I learn how to fix it”).
制定明确的规则来规定何时丢掉旧垃圾。一旦明确了规则，垃圾可能就不再是问题了。因为任何规则都比我们隐含的规则要好（“保留这个坏了的立体声音响五年，以防我学会如何修理它”）。
7. Don’t buy CDs for people. They have Spotify. Buy them merch from a band they like instead. It’s more personal and the band gets more money.
不要给人们买 CD。他们有 Spotify。相反，买他们喜欢的乐队的周边产品。这更有个人意义，而且乐队也能赚到更多钱。
8. When buying things, time and money trade-off against each other. If you’re low on money, take more time to find deals. If you’re low on time, stop looking for great deals and just buy things quickly online.
买东西时，时间和金钱是可以互换的。如果你缺钱，就多花些时间去找优惠。如果你缺时间，就不要再寻找划算的交易，直接在网上快速购买。
烹饪 (Cooking)
9. Steeping minutes: Green at 3, black at 4, herbal at 5. Good tea is that simple!
浸泡时间：绿茶 3 分钟，红茶 4 分钟，草本茶 5 分钟。好茶就是这么简单！
10. Food actually can be both cheap, healthy, tasty, and relatively quick to prepare. All it requires is a few hours one day to prepare many meals for the week.
食物实际上可以既便宜、健康、美味，又相对快速地准备。只需要一天花几个小时准备好一周的许多餐食。
11. Cooking pollutes the air. Opening windows for a few minutes after cooking can dramatically improve air quality.
做饭会污染空气。做饭后开窗几分钟可以显著改善空气质量。
12. Food taste can be made much more exciting through simple seasoning. It’s also an opportunity for expression. Buy a few herbs and spices and experiment away.
食物的味道可以通过简单的调料变得更加令人兴奋。这也是一个表达的机会。买一些香草和香料，尽情尝试吧。
13. When googling a recipe, precede it with ‘best’. You’ll find better recipes.
在 Google 上搜索食谱时，前面加上“最佳”。你会找到更好的食谱。
生产力 (Productivity)
14. Advanced search features are a fast way to create tighter search statements. For example: img html will return inferior results compared to: img html -w3
高级搜索功能是创建更精确搜索语句的快速方法。例如：img html 会比 img html -w3 返回更差的结果
15. You can automate mundane computer tasks with Autohotkey (or AppleScript). If you keep doing a sequence “so simple a computer can do it”, make the computer do it.
你可以用Autohotkey（或AppleScript）自动化日常电脑任务。如果你一直在做一个“简单到连电脑都能做”的过程，那就让电脑去做吧。
16. Learn keyboard shortcuts. They’re easy to learn and you’ll get tasks done faster and easier.
学习键盘快捷键。它们很容易学，而且你会更快、更轻松地完成任务。
17. Done is better than perfect.
完成比完美更重要。
18. Keep your desk and workspace bare. Treat every object as an imposition upon your attention, because it is. A workspace is not a place for storing things. It is a place for accomplishing things.
保持你的桌面和工作区空旷。把每个物件都当作对你注意力的干扰，因为它确实是。工作区不是储存物品的地方，而是完成工作的地方。
19. Reward yourself after completing challenges, even badly.
完成挑战后奖励自己，即使完成得不太好。
身体 (Body)
20. The 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes of screenwork, look at a spot 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This will reduce eye strain and is easy to remember (or program reminders for).
20-20-20 规则：每工作 20 分钟，看一个 20 英尺 （6.096 米） 外的地方 20 秒钟。这样可以减轻眼睛疲劳，也容易记住（或者可以设置提醒）。
21. Exercise (weightlifting) not only creates muscle mass, it also improves skeletal structure. Lift!
锻炼（举重）不仅能增加肌肉质量，还能改善骨骼结构。举起来！
22. Exercise is the most important lifestyle intervention you can do. Even the bare minimum (15 minutes a week) has a huge impact. Start small.
锻炼是你可以做的最重要的生活方式干预。即使是最低限度（每周 15 分钟）也会产生巨大的影响。从小做起。
23. (~This is not medical advice~). Don’t waste money on multivitamins, they don’t work. Vitamin D supplementation does seem to work, which is important because deficiency is common.
（这不是医疗建议）。不要浪费钱在多种维生素上，它们没效果。维生素 D 补充确实有效，这很重要，因为缺乏很常见。
24. Phones have gotten heavier in the last decade and they’re actually pretty hard on your wrists! Use a computer when it’s an alternative or try to at least prop up your phone.
在过去十年中，手机变得更重了，它们对你的手腕实际上很有负担！有替代选项时尽量用电脑，或者至少支撑一下手机。
成功 (Success)
25. History remembers those who got to market first. Getting your creation out into the world is more important than getting it perfect.
历史会记住那些第一个进入市场的人。把你的创作推向世界比让它完美更重要。
26. Are you on the fence about breaking up or leaving your job? You should probably go ahead and do it. People, on average, end up happier when they take the plunge.
你是否在犹豫要不要分手或辞职？你应该直接去做。通常情况下，当人们做出这个决定时，他们最终会更快乐。
27. Discipline is superior to motivation. The former can be trained, the latter is fleeting. You won’t be able to accomplish great things if you’re only relying on motivation.
纪律比动力更重要。前者可以被训练，后者是短暂的。如果你只依赖动力，你不会完成伟大的事情。
28. You can improve your communication skills with practice much more effectively than you can improve your intelligence with practice. If you’re not that smart but can communicate ideas clearly, you have a great advantage over everybody who can’t communicate clearly.
通过练习，你可以比提高智力更有效地提高沟通技能。如果你不是那么聪明，但能够清晰地传达思想，你就比那些不能清晰沟通的人有很大优势。
29. You do not live in a video game. There are no pop-up warnings if you’re about to do something foolish, or if you’ve been going in the wrong direction for too long. You have to create your own warnings.
你不是生活在电子游戏中。如果你要做愚蠢的事，或者你走错了方向很久，不会有弹出警告。你必须自己创造警告。
30. If you listen to successful people talk about their methods, remember that all the people who used the same methods and failed did not make videos about it.
如果你听成功人士谈论他们的方法，记住所有使用相同方法但失败的人没有做视频来讲述。
31. The best advice is personal and comes from somebody who knows you well. Take broad-spectrum advice like this as needed, but the best way to get help is to ask honest friends who love you.
最好的建议是个性化的，来自了解你的人。需要时可以采纳这种广泛的建议，但最好的帮助方式是向爱你的诚实朋友寻求帮助。
32. Make accomplishing things as easy as possible. Find the easiest way to start exercising. Find the easiest way to start writing. People make things harder than they have to be and get frustrated when they can’t succeed. Try not to.
让完成事情变得尽可能容易。找到最简单的开始锻炼的方法。找到最简单的开始写作的方法。人们往往把事情搞得比需要的复杂，当他们不能成功时就会感到沮丧。尽量不要这样。
33. Cultivate a reputation for being dependable. Good reputations are valuable because they’re rare (easily destroyed and hard to rebuild). You don’t have to brew the most amazing coffee if your customers know the coffee will always be hot.
培养可靠的声誉。好的声誉很有价值，因为它们稀缺（容易被破坏且难以重建）。如果你的顾客知道咖啡总是热的，你不需要泡制最惊人的咖啡。
34. How you spend every day is how you spend your life.
你每天如何度过，就是你如何度过你的一生。
理性 (Rationality)
35. Noticing biases in others is easy, noticing biases in yourself is hard. However, it has much higher pay-off.
注意到别人身上的偏见很容易，注意到自己身上的偏见很难。然而，这会有更高的回报。
36. Explaining problems is good. Often in the process of laying out a problem, a solution will present itself.
解释问题是好的。往往在阐述问题的过程中，解决方案会自行出现。
37. Foolish people are right about most things. Endeavour to not let the opinions of foolish people automatically discredit those opinions.
愚蠢的人对大多数事情是对的。尽量不要让愚蠢的人的意见自动失去信誉。
38. You have a plan. A time-traveller from 2030 appears and tells you your plan failed. Which part of your plan do you think is the one that fails? Fix that part.
你有一个计划。一个来自 2030 年的时间旅行者出现并告诉你你的计划失败了。你认为计划的哪一部分失败了？修复那部分。
39. If something surprises you again and again, stop being surprised.
如果某事不断让你感到惊讶，那就停止惊讶吧。
40. Should you freak out upon seeing your symptoms on the worst diseases on WebMD? Probably not! Look up the base rates for the disease and then apply Bayes’ Theorem.
看到 WebMD 上最糟糕的疾病症状时，你应该惊慌吗？可能不应该！查找疾病的基本发生率，然后应用贝叶斯定理。
41. Selfish people should listen to advice to be more selfless, selfless people should listen to advice to be more selfish. This applies to many things. Whenever you receive advice, consider its opposite as well. You might be filtering out the advice you need most.
自私的人应该听取更多无私的建议，无私的人应该听取更多自私的建议。这适用于许多事情。每当你收到建议时，也要考虑相反的建议。你可能会忽略你最需要的建议。
42. Common systems and tools have been designed so everybody can handle them. So don’t worry that you’re the only one who can’t! You can figure out doing laundry, baking, and driving on a highway.
常见的系统和工具已经被设计得让每个人都能使用。所以不要担心你是唯一不能处理的人！你可以学会洗衣服、烘焙和在高速公路上开车。
自我 (Self)
43. Deficiencies do not make you special. The older you get, the more your inability to cook will be a red flag for people.
缺点不会让你变得特别。随着年龄的增长，你不会做饭会成为人们眼中的一个危险信号。
44. There is no interpersonal situation that can’t be improved by knowing more about your desires, goals, and structure. ‘Know thyself!’
通过了解更多关于你的欲望、目标和结构，没有任何人际关系问题不能得到改善。“认识你自己！”
45. If you’re under 90, try things.
如果你还不到 90 岁，尝试一些事情。
46. Things that aren’t your fault can still be your responsibility.
那些不是你的错的事情，仍然可以是你的责任。
47. Defining yourself by your suffering is an effective way to keep suffering forever (ex. incels, trauma).
通过痛苦来定义自己是保持永远痛苦的有效方式（例如，非自愿单身者，创伤）。
48. Keep your identity small. “I’m not the kind of person who does things like that” is not an explanation, it’s a trap. It prevents nerds from working out and men from dancing.
保持你的身份标签简单。“我不是那种做这种事的人”不是解释，是陷阱。这会阻止书呆子锻炼和男人跳舞。
49. Don’t confuse ‘doing a thing because I like it’ with ‘doing a thing because I want to be seen as the sort of person who does such things’
不要把“因为我喜欢做某事”与“因为我想被看作做这种事的人”混淆。
50. Remember that you are dying.
记住，你正在走向死亡。
51. Events can hurt us, not just our perceptions of them. It’s good to build resilience, but sometimes it isn’t your fault if something really gets to you.
事件本身会伤害我们，不仅仅是我们对它们的感知。建立韧性是好的，但有时候如果某些事情真的影响到你，这不是你的错。
52. If you want to become funny, try just saying stupid shit (in the right company!) until something sticks.
如果你想变得有趣，尝试说些愚蠢的话（在合适的场合！）直到有些东西粘住了。
53. To start defining your problems, say (out loud) “everything in my life is completely fine.” Notice what objections arise.
为了开始定义你的问题，大声说“我生活中的一切都完全正常。”注意你脑中冒出的反对意见。
54. Procrastination comes naturally, so apply it to bad things. “I want to hurt myself right now. I’ll do it in an hour.” “I want a smoke now, so in half an hour I’ll go have a smoke.” Then repeat. Much like our good plans fall apart while we delay them, so can our bad plans.
拖延是自然的，所以把它应用到坏事上。“我现在想伤害自己。我一个小时后再做。”“我现在想抽烟，所以半小时后去抽烟。”然后重复。就像我们的好计划因拖延而崩溃一样，我们的坏计划也会如此。
55. Personal epiphanies feel great, but they fade within weeks. Upon having an epiphany, make a plan and start actually changing behavior.
个人顿悟感觉很好，但几周内就会消退。顿悟之后，制定计划并开始实际改变行为。
56. Sometimes unsolvable questions like “what is my purpose?” and “why should I exist?” lose their force upon lifestyle fixes. In other words, seeing friends regularly and getting enough sleep can go a long way to solving existentialism.
有时一些无解的问题，如“我的目的是什么？”和“我为什么存在？”会随着生活方式的改善失去力量。换句话说，定期见朋友和充足的睡眠可以在很大程度上解决存在主义问题。
危险 (Hazards)
57. There are two red flags to avoid almost all dangerous people: 1. The perpetually aggrieved; 2. The angry.
有两个危险信号可以用来避免几乎所有危险的人：1. 总是抱怨的人；2. 易怒的人。
58. Some people create drama out of habit. You can avoid these people.
有些人习惯制造戏剧性事件。你可以避开这些人。
59. Those who generate anxiety in you and promise that they have the solution are grifters. See: politicians, marketers, new masculinity gurus, etc. Avoid these.
那些让你产生焦虑并承诺他们有解决方案的人是骗子。参见：政客、营销人员、新男性主义导师等。避开这些人。
60. (~This is not legal advice!~)
DO NOT TALK TO COPS.
（这不是法律建议！）
不要与警察交谈。
61. It is cheap for people to talk about their values, goals, rules, and lifestyle. When people’s actions contradict their talk, pay attention!
人们谈论他们的价值观、目标、规则和生活方式很便宜。当人们的行为与他们的言论相矛盾时，请注意！
62. “If they’ll do it with you, they’ll do it to you” and “those who live by the sword die by the sword” mean the same thing. Viciousness you excuse in yourself, friends, or teammates will one day return to you, and then you won’t have an excuse.
“如果他们愿意和你一起做，他们也会对你做”和“玩火者必自焚”意味着同样的事情。你在自己、朋友或队友身上原谅的恶行有一天会回到你身上，到那时你将没有借口。
他人 (Others)
63. In choosing between living with 0-1 people vs 2 or more people, remember that ascertaining responsibility will no longer be instantaneous with more than one roommate (“whose dishes are these?”).
在选择与 0-1 人还是 2 人以上同住时，请记住，超过一个室友后，确定责任将不再是瞬时的（“这些盘子是谁的？”）。
64. Understand people have the right to be tasteless.
理解人们有权品味不高。
65. You will prevent yourself from even having thoughts that could lower your status. Avoid blocking yourself off just so people keep thinking you’re cool.
你会阻止自己产生可能降低你地位的想法。避免让自己封闭起来仅仅是为了让人们认为你很酷。
66. Being in groups is important. If you don’t want to join a sports team, consider starting a shitty band. It’s the closest you’ll get to being in an RPG. Train with 2-4 other characters, learn new moves, travel from pub to pub, and get quests from NPCs.
融入群体很重要。如果你不想加入体育队，考虑组建一个糟糕的乐队。这是你最接近 RPG (Role-playing Game，角色扮演游戏) 的体验。和 2-4 个其他角色一起训练，学习新技能，从一个酒吧到另一个酒吧旅行，并从 NPC (Non-Player Character, 非玩家角色) 那里获得任务。
67. It’s possible to get people to do things that make you like them more but respect them less. Avoid this, it destroys relationships.
你可以让人们做一些让你更喜欢他们但尊重他们更少的事情。避免这样做，它会破坏关系。
68. Think a little about why you enjoy what you enjoy. If you can explain what you love about Dune, you can now communicate not only with Dune fans, but with people who love those aspects in other books.
想想为什么你喜欢你喜欢的东西。如果你能解释你喜欢《沙丘》的原因，你不仅可以和《沙丘》的粉丝交流，还可以和喜欢其他书中那些方面的人交流。
69. When you ask people, “What’s your favorite book / movie / band?” and they stumble, ask them instead what book / movie / band they’re currently enjoying most. They’ll almost always have one and be able to talk about it.
当你问别人“你最喜欢的书/电影/乐队是什么？”而他们迟疑时，改问他们目前最喜欢的书/电影/乐队是什么。他们几乎总是会有一个答案，并能聊聊它。
70. Bored people are boring.
无聊的人是无趣的。
71. A norm of eating with your family without watching something will lead to better conversations. If this idea fills you with dread, consider getting a new family.
与家人一起吃饭而不看任何东西的习惯会带来更好的对话。如果这个想法让你感到恐惧，考虑换个家庭。
72. If you bus to other cities, consider finding a rideshare on Facebook instead. It’s cheaper, faster, and leads to interesting conversations.
如果你乘坐巴士去其他城市，考虑在 Facebook 上找拼车。这更便宜，更快，还能带来有趣的对话。
Relationships
73. In relationships look for somebody you can enjoy just hanging out near. Long-term relationships are mostly spent just chilling.
在恋爱中，找一个你可以只是在旁边一起放松就能享受的人。长期关系大多是一起闲逛度过的。
74. Sometimes things last a long time because they’re good (jambalaya). But that doesn’t mean that because something has lasted a long time that it is good (penile subincisions). Apply this to relationships, careers, and beliefs as appropriate.
有时一些事情持续很长时间是因为它们是好的（比如什锦饭）。但这并不意味着因为某件事持续了很长时间就一定是好的（比如阴茎切开术）。适当地将这应用于人际关系、职业和信念。
75. Don’t complain about your partner to coworkers or online. The benefits are negligible and the cost is destroying a bit of your soul.
不要向同事或在网上抱怨你的伴侣。好处微乎其微，而代价是摧毁你的一部分灵魂。
76. After a breakup, cease all contact as soon as practical. The potential for drama is endless, and the potential for a good friendship is negligible. Wait a year before trying to be friends again.
分手后，尽快停止所有联系。戏剧化的潜力是无穷的，而成为好朋友的潜力微乎其微。等待一年再尝试重新成为朋友。
77. If you haven’t figured things out sexually, remember that there isn’t a deadline. If somebody is making you feel like there is, consider the possibility that they aren’t your pal.
如果你在性方面还没有搞清楚，记住没有截止日期。如果有人让你觉得有，那就考虑他们可能不是你的朋友。
78. If you have trouble talking during dates, try saying whatever comes into your head. At worst you’ll ruin some dates (which weren’t going well anyways), at best you’ll have some great conversations. Alcohol can help.
如果你在约会时有说话困难，试着说出你脑子里想到的任何东西。最坏的情况是你会搞砸一些约会（反正这些约会也不怎么顺利），最好的情况是你会有一些很棒的对话。酒精可以帮助你。
79. When dating, de-emphasizing your quirks will lead to 90% of people thinking you’re kind of alright. Emphasizing your quirks will lead to 10% of people thinking you’re fascinating and fun. Those are the people interested in dating you. Aim for them.
在约会时，淡化你的怪癖会让90%的人觉得你还不错。强调你的怪癖会让10%的人觉得你很迷人和有趣。这些人是对你感兴趣的。瞄准他们。
80. Relationships need novelty. It’s hard to have novelty during Covid—but have you planned your post-Covid adventure yet?
关系需要新鲜感。在疫情期间很难有新鲜感——但你是否已经计划好疫情后的冒险了？
81. People can be the wrong fit for you without being bad. Being a person is complicated and hard.
人们可能不适合你，但这并不代表他们不好。成为一个人是复杂而艰难的。
Compassion
82. Call your parents when you think of them, tell your friends when you love them.
想到父母时打电话给他们，爱朋友时告诉他们。
83. Compliment people more. Many people have trouble thinking of themselves as smart, or pretty, or kind, unless told by someone else. You can help them out.
多赞美别人。许多人难以认为自己聪明、漂亮或善良，除非别人告诉他们。你可以帮助他们。
84. If somebody is undergoing group criticism, the tribal part in you will want to join in the fun of righteously destroying somebody. Resist this, you’ll only add ugliness to the world. And anyway, they’ve already learned the lesson they’re going to learn and it probably isn’t the lesson you want.
如果有人正在遭受群体批评，你内心的部落本能会想加入到正义地摧毁某人的乐趣中。抵制这种冲动，你只会为世界增加丑陋。而且，无论如何，他们已经学到了他们将要学到的教训，而这可能不是你想要的教训。
85. Cultivate compassion for those less intelligent than you. Many people, through no fault of their own, can’t handle forms, scammers, or complex situations. Be kind to them because the world is not.
对那些智力不如你的人培养同情心。许多人因并非自己的过错而无法处理表格、骗子或复杂情况。对他们善良，因为这个世界不会。
86. Cultivate patience for difficult people. Communication is extremely complicated and involves getting both tone and complex ideas across. Many people can barely do either. Don’t punish them.
对难相处的人培养耐心。沟通非常复杂，涉及传达语气和复杂的想法。许多人几乎无法做到其中任何一点。不要惩罚他们。
87. Don’t punish people for trying. You teach them to not try with you. Punishing includes whining that it took them so long, that they did it badly, or that others have done it better.
不要因为别人的尝试而惩罚他们。你会教会他们不再与你尝试。惩罚包括抱怨他们花了太久，做得不好，或者其他人做得更好。
88. Remember that many people suffer invisibly, and some of the worst suffering is shame. Not everybody can make their pain legible.
记住，许多人在无形中受苦，一些最严重的痛苦是羞耻。不是每个人都能让自己的痛苦显现出来。
89. Don’t punish people for admitting they were wrong, you make it harder for them to improve.
不要因为别人承认错误而惩罚他们，这会让他们更难进步。
90. In general, you will look for excuses to not be kind to people. Resist these.
一般来说，你会找借口不对别人友善。抵制这些借口。
Joy
91. Human mood and well-being are heavily influenced by simple things: Exercise, good sleep, light, being in nature. It’s cheap to experiment with these.
人的情绪和幸福感受深受简单事物的影响：锻炼、良好的睡眠、光线、亲近自然。尝试这些成本不高。
92. You have vanishingly little political influence and every thought you spend on politics will probably come to nothing. Consider building things instead, or at least going for a walk.
你几乎没有任何政治影响力，你在政治上花费的每一个想法可能都会毫无结果。考虑建造一些东西，或者至少去散散步。
93. Sturgeon’s law states that 90% of everything is crap. If you dislike poetry, or fine art, or anything, it’s possible you’ve only ever seen the crap. Go looking!
斯特金定律指出，90%的事物都是垃圾。如果你不喜欢诗歌、精美艺术或其他东西，可能是因为你只看到了垃圾。去找找看！
94. You don’t have to love your job. Jobs can be many things, but they’re also a way to make money. Many people live fine lives in okay jobs by using the money they make on things they care about.
你不必爱你的工作。工作可以是很多东西，但它们也是赚钱的方式。许多人通过在普通工作中赚的钱，过上了不错的生活，并用这些钱去做他们关心的事情。
95. Some types of sophistication won’t make you enjoy the object more, they’ll make you enjoy it less. For example, wine snobs don’t enjoy wine twice as much as you, they’re more keenly aware of how most wine isn’t good enough. Avoid sophistication that diminishes your enjoyment.
某些类型的复杂性不会让你更享受事物，而是让你更少享受。比如，葡萄酒爱好者并没有比你更享受葡萄酒，他们只是更敏锐地意识到大多数葡萄酒不够好。避免那些减少你享受的复杂性。
96. If other people having it worse than you means you can’t be sad, then other people having it better than you would mean you can’t be happy. Feel what you feel.
如果别人过得比你差意味着你不能悲伤，那么别人过得比你好意味着你不能快乐。感受你所感受到的。
97. Liking and wanting things are different. There are things like junk food that you want beyond enjoyment. But you can also like things (like reading) without wanting them. If you remember enjoying something but don’t feel a desire for it now, try pushing yourself.
喜欢和想要事物是不同的。有些东西像垃圾食品，你想要超过了享受。但你也可以喜欢某些东西（比如阅读）而不想要它们。如果你记得曾经喜欢某样东西但现在不再感到想要，试着逼自己一下。
98. People don’t realize how much they hate commuting. A nice house farther from work is not worth the fraction of your life you are giving to boredom and fatigue.
人们没有意识到他们有多讨厌通勤。一座离工作地点较远的漂亮房子不值得你用一部分生命去忍受无聊和疲劳。
99. There’s some evidence that introverts and extroverts both benefit from being pushed to be more extroverted. Consider this the next time you aren’t sure if you feel like going out.
有一些证据表明，内向者和外向者都能从被推动更加外向中受益。下次你不确定是否想外出时，考虑一下这一点。
100. Bad things happen dramatically (a pandemic). Good things happen gradually (malaria deaths dropping annually) and don’t feel like ‘news’. Endeavour to keep track of the good things to avoid an inaccurate and dismal view of the world.
坏事发生得很戏剧性（比如疫情）。好事发生得很逐渐（比如疟疾死亡率每年都在下降）而且不觉得是“新闻”。努力关注好事，避免对世界产生不准确和阴暗的看法。
人工智能 (AI)
If someone did nothing but read 24 hours a day for their entire life, they’d consume eight billion words. And of course, that’s a lot of words. But today, the most advanced AIs consume more than eight trillion words in a single month of training. The long arc of technological history is now in an extraordinary new phase.
如果有人一辈子每天 24 小时都在读书，他/她将读到 80 亿个单词。当然，这是大量的单词。但如今，最先进的 AI 能在一个月的训练中阅读超过八万亿个单词。科技的历史长河现在到了一个非同寻常的新阶段。
AI will transform how we live, work, and play, just as electricity did a century ago. Embrace this change rather than resist it, and you’ll find more opportunities than threats.
人工智能将像一个世纪前的电力一样改变我们的生活、工作和娱乐。拥抱这种变化而不是抵制它，你会发现更多的机会而不是威胁。
AI can analyze more data in a day than any human could in a lifetime. But it’s your creativity and critical thinking that can turn that data into actionable insights.
人工智能可以在一天内分析的数据比任何人一生中能分析的数据还多。但将这些数据转化为可操作的见解的是你的创造力和批判性思维。
