第6章

📌 Facebook和LinkedIn在2000年后的互联网 “大萧条 “时期推出。其他在经济衰退中诞生的婴儿包括大富翁、苹果、克里夫酒吧、拼字游戏、肯德基、多米诺比萨、联邦快递和微软。这并不是巧合，因为经济衰退产生了打折的基础设施，以低廉的价格产生了杰出的自由职业者，以及谷底的广告交易—当每个人都很乐观的时候，这一切都不可能。 ⏱ 2024-01-14 14:41:26

📌 I am, and will continue to be, a humble student of you all. 我现在是，并将继续是你们所有人的一个谦卑的学生。 ⏱ 2024-01-14 14:42:10

第9章

📌 Reality is negotiable. Outside of science and law, all rules can be bent or broken, and it doesn’t require being unethical. ⏱ 2024-01-14 14:54:05

第10章

📌 1991 My first job. Ah, the memories. I’m hired for minimum wage as the cleaner at an ice cream parlor and quickly realize that the big boss’s methods duplicate effort. I do it my way, finish in one hour instead of eight, and spend the rest of the time reading kung-fu magazines and practicing karate kicks outside. I am fired in a record three days, left with the parting comment, “Maybe someday you’ll understand the value of hard work.” It seems I still don’t. ⏱ 2024-01-14 15:04:43

📌 I major in neuroscience and then switch to East Asian studies to avoid putting printer jacks on cat heads. ⏱ 2024-01-14 15:05:50

📌 尽管有史以来最热的就业市场，我还是设法没有工作，直到毕业后三个月，我拿出我的王牌，给一个新创公司的CEO连续发了32封邮件。他终于让步，让我去做销售。 ⏱ 2024-01-14 15:11:22

📌 2001年秋 经过一年的12小时工作，我发现我是公司里除了接待员之外工资第二低的人。我求助于全职积极地浏览网络。一天下午，在没有淫秽视频片段可转发的情况下，我调查了创办一家运动营养公司有多难。结果发现，从生产到广告设计，你都可以外包。两个星期和5000美元的信用卡债务之后，我有了第一批产品和一个活的网站。这也是件好事，因为我正好在一周后被解雇了。 ⏱ 2024-01-14 15:14:50

第12章

📌 员工重新安排自己的日程表，通过谈判达成远程工作协议，以十分之一的时间取得90%的成果，这使他可以自由地练习越野滑雪，每月有两个星期与家人一起进行公路旅行。 ⏱ 2024-01-14 15:22:33

📌 Once you say you’re going to settle for second, that’s what happens to you in life. 一旦你说你要屈居第二，这就是你在生活中的遭遇。 —JOHN F. KENNEDY ⏱ 2024-01-14 15:28:28

📌 综上所述，他们为期15个月的全球探索，从威尼斯的贡多拉水路到波利尼西亚的部落海岸，花费了18,000到19,000美元之间。比巴黎的房租和法棍要少。 ⏱ 2024-01-14 23:15:48

第13章

📌 1.称重是在比赛的前一天：使用精英举重运动员和奥运摔跤手常用的脱水技术，我在18小时内减掉了28磅，称得 165磅，然后超水回升到193磅。 和比你高三个体重级别的人打比赛很困难。可怜的小家伙们。 ⏱ 2024-01-14 23:18:01

📌 Doing less meaningless work, so that you can focus on things of greater personal importance, is NOT laziness. This is hard for most to accept, because our culture tends to reward personal sacrifice instead of personal productivity.少做一些无意义的工作，以便你能专注于对个人更重要的事情，这不是懒惰。这对大多数人来说是很难接受的，因为我们的文化倾向于奖励个人的牺牲而不是个人的生产力。 ⏱ 2024-01-14 23:22:19

📌 Focus on being productive instead of busy.专注于生产而不是忙碌。 ⏱ 2024-01-14 23:22:40

📌 5.5.请求宽恕，而不是请求许可。If it isn’t going to devastate those around you, try it and then justify it. People—whether parents, partners, or bosses—deny things on an emotional basis that they can learn to accept after the fact. If the potential damage is moderate or in any way reversible, don’t give people the chance to say no. Most people are fast to stop you before you get started but hesitant to get in the way if you’re moving. Get good at being a troublemaker and saying sorry when you really screw up. ⏱ 2024-01-15 08:57:01

📌 t is far more lucrative and fun to leverage your strengths instead of attempting to fix all the chinks in your armor. The choice is between multiplication of results using strengths or incremental improvement fixing weaknesses that will, at best, become mediocre. Focus on better use of your best weapons instead of constant repair. ⏱ 2024-01-15 08:58:46

📌 The top New Rich mavericks make at least $5,000 per hour. ⏱ 2024-01-15 09:03:40

第14章

📌 Named must your fear be before banish it you can.在驱逐它之前，你必须命名你的恐惧，你可以。—YODA, from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back-YODA，来自《星球大战：帝国反击战》。 ⏱ 2024-04-05 21:03:24

📌 Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.行动不一定带来幸福，但没有行动就没有幸福。—BENJAMIN DISRAELI, former British Prime Minister-本杰明-迪斯雷利，英国前首相 ⏱ 2024-04-05 21:05:22

📌 Set aside a certain number of days, during which you shall be content with the scantiest and cheapest fare, with course and rough dress, saying to yourself the while: “Is this the condition that I feared?”留出一定的天数，在这期间，你要满足于最简单和最便宜的食物，穿得很粗糙，同时对自己说：“这就是我所担心的情况吗？“—SENECA-SENECA ⏱ 2024-04-05 21:08:14

📌 你因为害怕而推迟了什么？通常情况下，我们最害怕做的事情就是我们最需要做的事情。那个电话，那次谈话，不管是什么行动—是对未知 结果的恐惧阻止我们做我们需要做的事情。界定最坏的情况，接受它，然后去做。我再重复一下你可以考虑在你的额头上纹上的东西：我们最害怕做的事情通常就是我们最需要做的事情。正如我听到的那样，一个人在生活中的成功通常可以用他或她愿意进行的不舒服的谈话的数量来衡量。决心每天做一件你害怕的事情。我通过尝试联系名人和知名商人征求意见，养成了这个习惯。 ⏱ 2024-04-05 21:17:46

📌 推迟行动会使你在经济上、情感上和身体上付出什么代价？不要只评估行动的潜在弊端。同样重要的是，要衡量不作为的可怕代价。如果你不去追求那些让你兴奋的事情，一年后、五年后、十年后你会在哪里？让环境强加给你，让你有限的生命再过十年，做你知道不会满足你的事情，你会有什么感觉？如果你用望远镜观察10年，并且百分之百肯定地知道这是一条充满失望和遗憾的道路，如果我们把风险定义为 “出现不可逆转的负面结果的可能性”，不作为就是最大的风险。 ⏱ 2024-04-05 21:19:50

第15章

📌 The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.合理的人使自己适应这个世界；不合理的人则坚持试图使世界适应自己。因此，所有的进步都取决于不讲道理的人。—GEORGE BERNARD SHAW,Maxims for Revolutionists乔治-BERNARD SHAW，《革命者的格言》。 ⏱ 2024-04-05 21:20:27

📌 做不现实的事比做现实的事更容易 ⏱ 2024-04-05 21:22:30

📌 拥有一个异常大的目标是一种肾上腺素的注入，它提供了克服任何目标所带来的不可避免的考验和磨难的耐力。现实的目标，仅限于一般的雄心壮志水平，是不鼓舞人心的 ⏱ 2024-04-07 22:00:00

📌 去的人少的地方钓鱼最好，世界的集体不安全感使人们很容易打出全垒打，而其他人的目标都是安打。只是为了更大的目标，竞争更少。 ⏱ 2024-04-05 21:31:33

📌 Excitement is the more practical synonym for happiness, and it is precisely what you should strive to chase. It is the cure-all. When people suggest you follow your “passion” or your “bliss,” I propose that they are, in fact, referring to the same singular concept: excitement. ⏱ 2024-04-05 21:32:26

📌 Remember—boredom is the enemy, not some abstract “failure.”记住-厌倦是敌人，而不是什么抽象的 “失败”。 ⏱ 2024-04-05 21:34:27

📌 is much like goal-setting but differs in several fundamental respects: 它很像目标设定，但在几个基本方面有所区别：The goals shift from ambiguous wants to defined steps.目标从模糊的愿望转变为确定的步骤。The goals have to be unrealistic to be effective.目标必须是不现实的，才会有效。 ⏱ 2024-04-05 21:36:04

📌 “I participate in this contest every day,” said Ferriss. “I do what I always do: find a personal e-mail if possible, often through their little-known personal blogs, send a two- to three-paragraph e-mail which explains that I am familiar with their work, and ask one simple-to-answer but thought-provoking question in that e-mail related to their work or life philosophies. The goal is to start a dialogue so they take the time to answer future e-mails—not to ask for help. That can only come after at least three or four genuine e-mail exchanges.” ⏱ 2024-04-05 22:21:24

📌 我的格言来自于塞缪尔-贝克特，他是我的个人英雄：‘曾经尝试过。曾经失败过。没有关系。再试一次。再次失败。失败得更好’。你不会相信，以反复失败的勇气去尝试不可能的事情，你能完成什么。” ⏱ 2024-04-05 22:22:03

📌 Create two timelines—6 months and 12 months—and list up to five things you dream of having (including, but not limited to, material wants: house, car, clothing, etc.), being (be a great cook, be fluent in Chinese, etc.), and doing (visiting Thailand, tracing your roots overseas, racing ostriches, etc.) in that order. If you have difficulty identifying what you want in some categories, as most will, consider what you hate or fear in each and write down the opposite. Do not limit yourself, and do not concern yourself with how these things will be accomplished. For now, it’s unimportant. This is an exercise in reversing repression. ⏱ 2024-04-05 22:27:34

📌 我不太相信长期规划和遥远的目标。事实上，我一般设定3个月和6个月的梦想期限。 ⏱ 2024-04-05 22:40:02

第17章

📌 Being busy is most often used as a guise for avoiding the few critically important but uncomfortable actions. T ⏱ 2024-04-05 22:43:49

📌 Doing something unimportant well does not make it important. 把不重要的事情做好并不代表它就重要。Requiring a lot of time does not make a task important.需要大量的时间并不意味着一项任务的重要性。From this moment forward, remember this: What you do is infinitely more important than how you do it. Efficiency is still important, but it is useless unless applied to the right things.从这一刻起，请记住这一点：你做什么比你怎么做重要得多。效率仍然很重要，但除非应用在正确的事情上，否则它是无用的。 ⏱ 2024-04-05 22:45:33

📌 Which 20% of sources are causing 80% of my problems and unhappiness?哪20%的来源造成了我80%的问题和不快乐？Which 20% of sources are resulting in 80% of my desired outcomes and happiness?哪些20%的来源导致了我80%的预期结果和幸福？ ⏱ 2024-04-06 19:05:35

📌 The end result? I went from chasing and appeasing 120 customers to simply receiving large orders from 8, with absolutely no pleading phone calls or e-mail haranguing. My monthly income increased from $30Kto$60K in four weeks and my weekly hours immediately dropped from over 80 to approximately 15. Most important, I was happy with myself and felt both optimistic and liberated for the first time in over two years. ⏱ 2024-04-06 19:09:46

📌 由于更加专注，较短期限的最终产品几乎不可避免地具有同等或更高的质量。 ⏱ 2024-04-06 19:12:13

📌 The best solution is to use both together: Identify the few critical tasks that contribute most to income and schedule them with very short and clear deadlines.最好的解决办法是两者一起使用：确定对收入贡献最大的几项关键任务，并以非常短的时间和明确的最后期限安排这些任务。 ⏱ 2024-04-06 19:12:48

📌 not going to lie: It sucks. It hurts like pulling out a splinter. But you are the average of the five people you associate with most, so do not underestimate the effects of your pessimistic, unambitious, or disorganized friends. If someone isn’t making you stronger, they’re making you weaker. ⏱ 2024-04-06 19:20:29

📌 打 ⏱ 2024-04-06 19:19:34

📌 Learn to ask, “If this is the only thing I accomplish today, will I be satisfied with my day?”6.学会问：“如果这是我今天唯一完成的事情，我对我的一天会感到满意吗？” ⏱ 2024-04-06 19:23:42

第18章

📌 What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence, a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.信息所消耗的东西是相当明显的：它消耗了接收者的注意力。因此，丰富的信息造成了注意力的匮乏，需要在可能消耗注意力的过多的信息源中有效地分配注意力。—HERBERT SIMON, recipient of Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics8 an ⏱ 2024-04-06 19:26:05

📌 1. I picked one book out of dozens based on reader reviews and the fact that the authors had actually done what I wanted to do. If the task is how-to in nature, I only read accounts that are “how I did it” and autobiographical. No speculators or wannabes are worth the time.1.我从几十本书中挑选了一本，依据的是读者评论和作者确实做过我想做的事。如果任务是如何做的，我只读那些 “我是如何做到的 “和自传性的叙述。任何投机者或崇拜者都不值得花时间。 ⏱ 2024-04-06 19:28:58

📌 Learning to ignore things is one of the great paths to inner peace.学会忽视事物是通往内心平静的伟大道路之一。—ROBERT J. SAWYER, Calculating God-ROBERT J. SAWYER, 计算上帝 ⏱ 2024-04-06 19:31:05

📌 Get Phone Numbers (2 Days)获取电话号码 (2天)Being sure to maintain eye contact, ask for the phone numbers of at least two (the more you attempt, the less stressful it will be) attractive members of the opposite sex on each day. Girls, this means you’re in the game as well, and it doesn’t matter if you’re 50+. Remember that the real goal is not to get numbers, but to get over the fear of asking, so the outcome is unimportant. If you’re in a relationship, sign up to (or pretend to) gather information for Greenpeace. Just toss the numbers if you get them. ⏱ 2024-04-06 19:38:13

第19章

📌 “I think you’d love this puppy. It will forever add to your responsibilities until he dies 10 years from now. No more care-free vacations, and you’ll finally get to pick up poop all over the city—what do you think?” “我想你会喜欢这只小狗。它将永远增加你的责任，直到他10年后去世。再也没有无忧无虑的假期了，你终于可以在城市里到处捡大便了—你觉得呢？” ⏱ 2024-04-06 22:31:03

📌 2007年我安排的一些批次是：电子邮件（周一上午10点）、电话（完全取消）、洗衣（每隔一个周日晚上10点）、信用卡和账单（大多数是自动付款，但我每隔一个周一在电子邮件后检查余额）、力量训练（每隔4天30分钟）等等。 ⏱ 2024-04-06 22:47:24

📌 为什么不把小型退休与牙科（或医疗）地缘套利结合起来，用节省下来的钱资助你的旅行？我在泰国住了四个月，接受了根管治疗和牙冠治疗，价格只有澳大利亚的一半。在泰国、菲律宾、越南、果阿等地，有许多为 “外籍人士 “和健康旅行者设立的高档诊所，有讲英语的牙科医生。 ⏱ 2024-04-07 22:33:18

第21章

📌 The future is here. It’s just not widely distributed yet.未来就在这里。它只是还没有广泛传播。—WILLIAM GIBSON, author of Neuromancer; coined term “cyberspace” in 1984-WILLIAM GIBSON，《Neuromancer》的作者；在1984年创造了 “网络空间 “一词。 ⏱ 2024-04-07 22:38:24

📌 his is a hurdle that is hard for most. If I can do it better than an assistant, why should I pay them at all? Because the goal is to free your time to focus on bigger and better things.这是一个对大多数人来说都很难逾越的障碍。如果我可以比助理做得更好，我为什么要付给他们钱？因为目标是释放你的时间，让你专注于更大、更好的事情。 ⏱ 2024-04-07 22:40:46

📌 ow it’s your turn to show that you know better. Delegation is to be used as a further step in reduction, not as an excuse to create more movement and add the unimportant. Remember—unless something is well-defined and important, no one should do it.现在轮到你表明你更清楚。授权要作为减少的进一步措施，而不是作为创造 更多运动和增加不重要的借口。请记住—除非某件事情是明确的、重要的，否则没有人应该去做。Eliminate before you delegate.在授权之前先消除 ⏱ 2024-04-07 22:42:53

📌 人们可以在纽约市结束一天的工作时将任务交给印度的远程个人助理，他们将在第二天早上准备好演示文稿。由于与印度的时差，助理们可以在他们睡觉时进行工作，并在早上将其送回。当他们醒来时，他们会在收件箱中发现完成的摘要。这些助理还可以帮助他们跟上他们想要阅读的内容，例如。 ⏱ 2024-04-07 22:47:46

📌 建议你雇用一个VA公司或有后备团队的VA，而不是单独操作。当然，有很多例子，有的人拥有一个助理数十年而没有发生事故，但我建议这只是例外，而不是规则。安全总比遗憾好。除了简单的避免灾难外，小组结构还提供了一个人才库，使你可以分配多项任务，而不必费心去寻找有资格的新人。Brickwork和YMII都是这种结构的典范，并提供一个单一的联络点，即个人客户经理，然后他将你的任务分配给小组中最有能力的人和不同的班次。需要图形设计吗？覆盖了。需要数据库管理吗？涵盖了。我不喜欢打电话和协调多人的工作。我想要一站式服务，并愿意多付10%的费用来获得这种服务。我鼓励你也能做到 “一斤一两”，“一分钱一分货”。 ⏱ 2024-04-09 23:07:44

📌 www.yourmaninindia.com ($6.25/hour+) YMII handles both business and personal tasks and can work with you in real time (there are people on duty 24/7) and complete work while you sleep. ⏱ 2024-04-09 23:14:18

第22章

📌 Prior to manufacturing, MRI first offered a low-priced book related to the product through ¼-page advertisements in men’s health magazines. Once the need had been confirmed with a mountain of book orders, NO2 was priced at an outrageous $79.95, positioned as the premium product on the market, and sold exclusively through GNC stores nationwide. No one else was permitted to sell it.在生产之前，MRI首先通过男性健康杂志上1/4页的广告提供与该产品有关的低价书籍。一旦需求被大量的书籍订单所证实，NO 2 就被定价为离谱的79.95美元，被定位为市场上的优质产品，并在全国的GNC商店独家销售。其他任何人都不被允许销售。 ⏱ 2024-04-09 23:40:42

📌 创造需求是困难的。填补需求要容易得多。不要先创造一个产品，然后再找人卖给它。找到一个市场—定义你的客户—然后为他们找到或开发一个产品。 ⏱ 2024-04-09 23:42:23

📌 The main benefit of your product should be explainable in one sentence or phrase. How is it different and why should I buy it? ONE sentence or phrase, folks. Apple did an excellent job of this with the iPod. Instead of using the usual industry jargon with GB, bandwidth, and so forth, they simply said, “1,000 songs in your pocket.” Done deal. Keep it simple and do not move ahead with a product until you can do this without confusing people. ⏱ 2024-04-10 22:42:08

📌 I not only use all the brains that I have, but all that I can borrow.我不仅使用我所拥有的所有大脑，而且还使用我所能借用的所有大脑。—WOODROW WILSON伍德罗-威尔逊 ⏱ 2024-04-10 22:48:22

📌 三天内每天至少给一位潜在的超级明星导师打电话。只有在尝试打电话后才发电子邮件。我建议在上午8:30之前或下午6:00之后打电话，以减少与秘书和其他看门人的冲突。心中要有一个问题，一个你已经研究过但自己无法回答的问题。瞄准 “A “级人物—首席执行官、超级成功的企业家、著名作家等—不要把目标定得太低，以免让人害怕。如有必要，可使用www.contactanycelebrity.com，并将你的剧本建立在以下基础上。 ⏱ 2024-04-10 22:55:51

第23章

📌 Google Adwords Keyword Tool (http://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal) Enter the potential search terms to find search volume and alternative terms with more search traffic. Click on the “Approx Avg Search Volume” column to sort results from most to least searched. ⏱ 2024-04-10 23:11:27

📌 如果你选择使用www.wordpress.org ( not.com )，以获得更大的可定制性，我建议使用像www.bluehost.com 一键式WordPress 安装的主机服务。然后可以使用Shopp插件（ http://shopplugin.net/ ）或Market Theme插件（ http://www.markettheme.com /）来增加电子商务功能。 Shopify.com（稍后讨论）是另一个很好的一体式选择。 ⏱ 2024-04-11 23:18:42

第24章

📌 The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment.未来的工厂将只有两名员工，一个人和一条狗。人将在那里喂狗。狗将在那里防止人碰触设备。 ⏱ 2024-04-11 23:21:06

📌 有一次，他被邀请为一家制造商的手表系列设计一个广告。制造商想在广告中展示九种不同的手表，而乔建议只展示一种。客户坚持要做，乔提出要同时做，并在同一期的《华尔街日报》上测试。结果呢？一块表的销售量比九块表的销售量大6倍。 ⏱ 2024-04-11 23:36:37

📌 yourself.你为客户提供的选择越多，你就会产生更多的犹豫不决，你收到的订单就越少—这对你来说是一种伤害。此外，你为客户提供的选择越多，你为自己创造的制造和客户服务负担就越重。 ⏱ 2024-04-11 23:40:12

第26章

📌 Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it. 自由意味着责任。这就是为什么大多数人害怕它。—GEORGE BERNARD SHAW-乔治-伯纳德-肖 ⏱ 2024-04-13 09:00:38

第27章

📌 All courses of action are risky, so prudence is not in avoiding danger (it’s impossible), but calculating risk and acting decisively. Make mistakes of ambition and not mistakes of sloth. Develop the strength to do bold things, not the strength to suffer.所有的行动都是有风险的，所以谨慎不在于避免危险（这是不可能的），而在于计算风险和果断行动。犯雄心勃勃的错误，而不是犯懒惰的错误。培养做大胆事情的力量，而不是培养受苦的力量。—NICCOLÒ MACHIAVELLI,The Prince ⏱ 2024-04-13 09:03:18

📌 我已经辞去了三份工作，其余大部分工作都被解雇了。被解雇，尽管有时是个意外，让你争先恐后地恢复，但往往是一个天赐良机：别人为你做了决定，你不可能一辈子都坐在错误的工作岗位上。大多数人没有足够的运气被解雇，在容忍平庸的30-40年中，精神上慢慢死去。 ⏱ 2024-04-13 22:04:48

📌 If you must play, decide on three things at the start: the rules of the game, the stakes, and the quitting time.如果你一定要玩，在一开始就决定三件事：游戏规则，赌注，和退出时间。 ⏱ 2024-04-13 22:05:00

📌 仅仅因为一件事做了很多工作或消耗了很多时间，并不意味着它有成效或有价值。 ⏱ 2024-04-13 22:06:32

📌 Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure.你想让我给你一个成功的公式吗？这很简单，真的。把你的失败率提高一倍。—THOMAS J. WATSON, founder of IBM-THOMAS J. WATSON，IBM的创始人 ⏱ 2024-04-13 22:09:27

📌 There are two types of mistakes: mistakes of ambition and mistakes of sloth.有两种类型的错误：野心的错误和懒惰的错误。The first is the result of a decision to act—to do something. This type of mistake is made with incomplete information, as it’s impossible to have all the facts beforehand. This is to be encouraged. Fortune favors the bold.第一种是决定采取行动—做某事的结果。这种类型的错误是在信息不完整的情况下发生的，因为事先不可能掌握所有的事实。这是值得鼓励的。财富青睐于大胆的人。 ⏱ 2024-04-13 22:10:37

📌 The second is the result of a decision of sloth—to not do something—wherein we refuse to change a bad situation out of fear despite having all the facts. This is how learning experiences become terminal punishments, bad relationships become bad marriages, and poor job choices become lifelong prison sentences.第二种是懒惰决定的结果，即尽管我们掌握了所有的事实，但由于恐惧而拒绝改变一个糟糕的情况。这就是学习经历如何变成 最终惩罚，糟糕的关系变成糟糕的婚姻，糟糕的工作选择变成终生监禁。 ⏱ 2024-04-13 22:11:20

第28章

📌 Before the development of tourism, travel was conceived to be like study, and its fruits were considered to be the adornment of the mind and the formation of the judgment.在旅游业发展之前，人们认为旅行就像学习，其成果被认为是对心灵的装饰和判断力的形成。 ⏱ 2024-04-13 22:12:37

📌 The alternative to binge travel—the mini-retirement—entails relocating to one place for one to six months before going home or moving to another locale. It is the anti-vacation in the most positive sense. ⏱ 2024-04-13 22:17:49

📌 书采访的几个家庭推荐了人类已知的最古老的劝说工具：贿赂。每个孩子都会得到一定数额的虚拟现金，25-50美分，用于奖励每小时的良好行为。如果违反规则，则从他们的账户中扣除同样的金额。所有用于娱乐的购买—无论是纪念品、冰激凌还是其他—都从他们自己的个人账户中支出。没有余额，就没有好东西。这往往需要父母比孩子更有自制力。 ⏱ 2024-04-13 22:23:55

📌 里只是我最喜欢的几个起点。请自由选择其他地点。下划线的是最适合美元的生活方式：阿根廷（布宜诺斯艾利斯、科尔多瓦）、中国（上海、香港、台北）、日本（东京、大阪）、英国（伦敦）、 爱尔兰（高威）、泰国（曼谷、清迈）、德国（柏林、慕尼黑）、挪威（奥斯陆）、澳大利亚（悉尼）、新西兰（皇后镇）、意大利（罗马、米兰、佛罗伦萨）、西班牙（马德里、瓦伦西亚、塞维利亚）和荷兰（阿姆斯特丹）。在所有这些地方，都有可能在花费不多的情况下生活得很好。 ⏱ 2024-04-13 22:30:57

📌 What is the 20% of my belongings that I use 80% of the time? Eliminate the other 80% in clothing, magazines, books, and all else. Be ruthless—you can always repurchase things you can’t live without.在我的物品中，有20%的物品是我80%的时间使用的？消除其他80%的衣服、杂志、书籍和其他所有东西。要无情—你总是可以重新购买你离不开的东西。 ⏱ 2024-04-13 22:53:01

📌 首先在下午或傍晚时分购买一部带有SIM卡的无锁 手机，可以用简单的预付卡充电。给Craigslist.com和当地报纸的网络版上的公寓业主或经纪人发电子邮件，要求在未来两天内看房。Second and third days Find and book an apartment for one month. Don’t commit to more than one month until you’ve slept there. I once prepaid two months only to find that the busiest bus stop downtown was on the other side of my bedroom wall.第二和第三天 寻找并预订一个月的公寓。在你没有在那里睡过之前，不要承诺超过一个月。我曾经预付了两个月的费用，却发现市中心最繁忙的公交车站就在我卧室墙的另一边。 ⏱ 2024-04-13 22:57:40

📌 虚拟游客 (www.virtualtourist.com)The single largest source of unbiased, user-generated travel content in the world. More than 1,000,000 members contribute tips and warnings for more than 25,000 locations. Each location is covered in 13 separate categories, including Things to Do, Local Customs, Shopping, and Tourist Traps. This is one-stop shopping for most mini-retirements.世界上最大的无偏见、由用户生成的旅游内容的单一来源。超过1,000,000名会员为超过25,000个地点提供提示和警告。每个地方都有13个独立的类别，包括可做的事情、当地习俗、购物和旅游陷阱。这是为大多数小型退休人员提供的一站式服务。 ⏱ 2024-04-13 22:59:30

📌 逃亡艺术家 (www.escapeartist.com)Interested in second passports, starting your own country, Swiss banking, and all the other things I wouldn’t dare put in this book? This site is a fantastic resource. Drop me a note from the Caymans or jail, whichever comes first. Also search “How to Be Jason Bourne” at www.fourhourblog.com. ⏱ 2024-04-13 22:59:14

📌 家庭旅游论坛 (www.familytravelforum.com)A comprehensive forum on, you guessed it, family travel. Want to sell your kids for top dollar in the Eastern Bloc? Or save a few dollars and cremate Grannie in Thailand? Then this isn’t the site. But if you have kids and are planning a big trip, this is the place.一个关于，你猜对了，家庭旅行的综合论坛。想把你的孩子卖到东欧国家去换取高价吗？或者省下几块钱，在泰国火化祖母？那就不是这个网站了。但是，如果你有孩子并且正在计划一次大的旅行，这里就是你的地方。 ⏱ 2024-04-13 22:59:57

📌 Orbitz (www.orbitz.com), Kayak (www.kayak.com), 和Sidestep (www.sidestep.com)Search 400+ airlines worldwide for each service. Orbitz is my starting point for pricing comparisons, after which I check both Kayak and Sidestep. Sidestep has proven most effective when searching for flights that start and end outside of the U.S.为每项服务搜索全球400多家航空公司。Orbitz是我进行价格比较的起点，之后我同时查看Kayak和Sidestep。事实证明，Sidestep在搜索美国境外起止点的航班时最为有效。 ⏱ 2024-04-13 23:05:11

📌 除了当地有住房列表的周刊，如柏林的Bild或Zitty（不是玩笑），我发现Craigslist是寻找长期海外带家具公寓的唯一最佳起点。截至本文写作时，有50多个国家的代表。也就是说，当地杂志上的价格会便宜30-70%—如果你的预算很紧张，可以让旅店员工或其他当地人帮你打几个电话，达成交易。 ⏱ 2024-04-13 23:08:19

📌 For all things language related, from detailed how-to articles (how to reactivate forgotten languages, memorize 1,000 words per week, master tones, etc.) to mnemonics and the best electronic shortcuts, click on “language” at www.fourhourblog.com. Learning languages is an addiction of mine and a skill I have taken apart and reassembled to be faster. It is possible to become conversationally fluent in any language in 3–6 months. ⏱ 2024-04-13 23:10:23

第29章

📌 活着就是为了学习。我认为没有其他选择。这就是为什么我感到不得不在头六个月左右的时间内辞职或被解雇的原因。学习曲线趋于平缓，我感到厌烦。Though you can upgrade your brain domestically, traveling and relocating provides unique conditions that make progress much faster. The different surroundings act as a counterpoint and mirror for your own prejudices, making weaknesses that much easier to fix. I rarely travel somewhere without deciding first how I’ll obsess on a specific skill. Here are a few examples:虽然你可以在国内升级你的大脑，但旅行和搬迁提供了独特的条件，使进展更快。不同的环境对你自己的偏见起着反作用，也是一面镜子，使你的弱点更容易得到解决。我很少在没有决定如何执着于某项具体技能的情况下去某地旅行。 ⏱ 2024-04-13 23:15:13

📌 我倾向于专注于语言学习和一种动觉技能，有时在海外登陆后发现后者。最成功的连续流浪者往往将精神和身体融合在一起。请注意，我经常把我在国内练习的技能—武术—带到其他国家，那里也有武术练习。即时的社会生活和友情。它不需要是一项竞争性的运动—它可以是徒步旅行、国际象棋，或者几乎任何能让你的鼻子离开教科书和你离开公寓的东西。体育运动恰好是避免外语怯场和发展持久友谊的绝佳途径，同时还能让你的声音像泰山一样。Language learning deserves special mention. It is, bar none, the best thing you can do to hone clear thinking.语言学习值得特别一提。毫无疑问，这是你能做的磨练清晰思维的最好事情。 ⏱ 2024-04-13 23:16:08
