"Teams are not strictly practical responses to immediate challenges and situations. Teams are at the heart of what it means to be human. Put another way, as human beings, we must form teams. It is encoded in our DNA. It has proved to be the critical factor in the rise of civilization. The human drive to form teams is also a survival mechanism for individuals. The archeological evidence suggests that even the earliest hominids always grouped together to live and hunt."
“從嚴格意義上講,團隊對實時挑戰與情況并沒有實用的反應。團隊是人類意義的核心。換句話說,我們人類必須組成團隊。這被編碼至我們的DNA中,并已證明是文明崛起階段的重要因素。人類組建團隊的動力也是個體存活的機制。有考古證據表明,甚至最早的遠古人類也總是聚成一群生活打獵。”

"Go looking for conflict, and you'll find it. Go looking for people to take advantage of you, and they generally will. See the world as a dog-eat-dog place, and you'll always find a bigger dog looking at you as if you're his next meal. Go looking for the best in people, and you'll be amazed at how much talent, ingenuity, empathy, and goodwill you'll find. Ultimately, the world treats you more or less the way you expect to be treated."
“去尋找沖突,你將發現它。去尋找給你優勢的人兒,這些人通常樂意。把這個世界看成弱肉強食的地方,你便總覺得自己將會成為刀俎上的魚肉,任比你強大的人宰割。去發現人們身上最美的點,你會驚奇于自己在他人身上找到的才能、智慧、共鳴和友善。最終這個世界或多或少會以你想要被對待的方式對待你。”

你能找到生活中自己的目標,并在了解其他卓越之人是如何達成目標后,為實現它而構建有效的策略。
"A vision is the most important step to getting anywhere and achieving anything you want in any area of life. But we also have to be clear about what a vision is. A vision is not just a dream. A powerful vision emerges when we couple our dreams with a clear set of goals. Without both, we are apt to wander in a clueless and purposeless fog, because a dream without goals is just a fantasy. And fantasies are the bad kind of visions--the hallucinogenic kind, not the real kind."
“遠見極為重要,它讓你能到達任何地位,并取得生活領域中你想要的任何事物。不過我們也得清楚明白什么是遠見。遠見不只是夢想。當我們給夢想制定一系列明確的目標時,我們便有了強有力的遠見。如果夢與目標兼缺失,我們便會在迷霧中漫無目的、毫無頭緒地瞎逛,因為夢游目標的夢只是幻想。而幻想則是不良的遠見,他讓你迷幻并非真實。”
10. Thrive: The Third Metric to Redefining Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being, Wisdom, and Wonder by Arianna Huffington
阿麗安娜·哈芬頓《蓬勃發展: 重新定義成功及打造幸福、 智慧、 繽紛生活的第三標準》
The unrelenting pursuit of success is a trap unless you consciously decide to slow down, create cherished memories, and pursue lifelong passions.
唯有你有意識地放慢腳步、制造珍惜回憶、追求那畢生的熱情,你才能繞開對成功不懈追求的這個陷阱。
"If we let it, technology can also add a lot of noise and distraction that gets in the way of our most fundamental creative capabilities--instead of freeing us, it can consume us. What we're beginning to recognize now is that success is not always about doing more, but also about doing better--and we do better when we are connected to our inner wisdom, strength, and intuition."
“只要我們縱容,科技也能制造很多喧鬧,使我們分神,從而干擾我們很多基本的創造力。科技在解放我們的同時,也能消耗我們。如今我們漸漸意識到的是,成功不總是關于做得更多,而是做得更好。而當我們與內心的智慧、優勢和靈感相同時,我們能有更好的表現。”
