The great benefit of living with, working for, or being related to people who have experienced more of life than you have is picking their brain for advice. 和比你有生活经验的人一起生活、或为之工作、或和他们有联系的最大的益处莫过于可以从他们那里得到建议。 The most effective people learn from their own mistakes, and make a significant effort to learn from other people's errors as well. 效率高的人会从自己的错误中学习，并努力从别人的错误中学习。 A recent Quora thread asked users for the best advice they've ever gotten. Here are a few of the greatest excerpts: 最近Quora上有一个帖子，问用户得到的最好的建议是什么。其中最好的几条摘录如下： 1. Never say "but." 不要说“但是” 。 "A very smart woman I worked with once told me that if I eliminated the word 'but' from my professional vocabulary, I'd find greater acceptance for my ideas, and greater cooperation from my team members... The word 'but' negates everything that precedes it, and you cast a negative spin on anything you say when you use it... 'But' is exclusive and isolating; 'and' is inclusive and welcoming." “和我一起工作的一位非常聪明的女士曾经告诉我，如果我把‘但是’这个词从我的工作用语中去掉，那我的想法被别人接受的概率会更高，我的团队成员间的合作程度也会更好……‘但是’这个词把它之前的内容都否定了，当你用它的时候，你说的话都蒙上了消极的色彩……‘但是’是排外的和孤立的；‘并且’是包容的、受欢迎的。” |
