　　23.Mere belief in anything signifies little more than assent. It’s trust and behavior that reveal where convictions lie.

　　仅仅是相信一切也不过是一种附和。真正的信念来源于信赖和行动。

　　24.The main thing you need to do quickly is to stop doing things quickly. Trade hurry for calm, confidence, and precision.

　　你要尽快做的事情主要就是不要再快速地做事情了。把快速转变成冷静、自信以及准确。

　　25.Everybody needs an editor. Everybody.

　　每个人都需要一个编辑。每个人!

　　26.Get your work done first so you can play without guilt. Even better, make work play and the fun never ends!

　　先把工作做完，这样你才能没有负担地玩了。更好的做法是，把工作当做一种乐趣，这样你的快乐就无穷无尽了。

　　27.If you want to develop your passion and gift, stop worrying about the things you do poorly. Go with your strengths!

　　如果你想要发展自己的激情和天赋，不要为自己做得不好的事情焦虑了，专注于自己的长项!

　　28.Avoid fights. Seriously. Avoid them like a plague: nobody wins in a fight, even if you walk away unscathed. But when a fight picks you, leave everything on the mat and give it your all. Hold nothing back.

　　避免斗争。说真的。就像躲瘟疫一样躲避斗争：没有人在一场斗争中胜出，即使你毫发无损地离开了。但是，如果你被迫迎战，放下一切，全力出击，毫不保留!

　　29.If you’re bored, you’re doing it wrong.

　　生活里没有什么比得上天堂里永恒的快乐——疼痛、痛苦或者失败都是值得的。活在永恒的快乐中吧!

　　32.Protect your joy. Nothing is easier to lose by over-thinking, overanalyzing, and second-guessing. On the other hand, always consider the long-term consequences of your choices: stupid decisions made in the moment can rob you of years of joy and happiness.

　　保护你的快乐。如果你想得太多、分析太多或者猜疑太多，那就很容易失败。另一方面，永远记得考虑你的选择所带来的长期后果：仓促作出的愚蠢决定可能会剥夺你好几年的快乐和幸福。

　　33.Your purpose in life determines how you frame events. You can maintain your joy in the most dire circumstances if you find meaning for your life. Dig deep.

　　你生活的目的决定了你组织事情的方式。如果你找到了自己生活的意义，即使是在最糟糕的处境里你也能保持愉悦。深入挖掘吧。

　　34.It truly matters what you think about. Think well by reading good books, building good, loving relationships, having good conversation, and imitating great people.

　　你的思想真的很重要。通过读好书、建立美好可爱的恋情、交心的谈话还有模仿很棒的人来让自己的思想有境界。

　　I’m still learning — in fact I haven’t fully appreciated most of the list I made, myself. And I’m still adding to it. But I’m getting better.

　　我还在不停地学习——实际上，我还没有完全领会我所列出的清单。而且，我还在补充这个清单。但是，我变得越来越好了!
