关于作者

第一次知道Kevin Kelly，还是七八年前在北京实习的时候知道《失控》这本书的时候，记得好像当时在国内有段时间挺火的，特别是对于互联网从业者。虽然。。。《失控》到现在我都还没看过。之前买了一本英文版，现在落灰了。偶然看到了老头子的网站，kk.org，看起来还挺有趣的，以后可以逛逛。

大概感受

不得不说，书名非常鸡汤，如果不知道作者是kevin kelly，可能直接会略过。不过，读起来发现，老头子的advice都很真诚，而且覆盖面非常广，有些还有点好笑。

作为本站的第一个book review，就随便摘抄点小建议吧。就像小时候老师让我们抄写名人名言的感觉一样哈哈哈。

一些关于生活的真诚小tips

经常出现这种情况，下次可以试试。

If you are looking for something in your house and you finally find it, when you’re done with it, don’t put it back where you found it. Put it back where you first looked for it.

睡觉很重要，睡觉很重要，睡觉很重要。

If you can’t tell what you desperately need, it’s probably sleep.

Avoid hitting the snooze button. That’s just training you to oversleep.

买买买的时候好好看看

Trust the 3-star product revviews because they tell both the good and the bad, which is the real state for most things.

Not all prices appear on labels.

别让人等啊

When you keep people waiting, they begin to think of all your flaws.

一些好笑的段子

年轻，没有什么不可以

If a young student is struggling, first thing: check their eyesight

想到在国内的地铁大家都低头玩手机

To rapidly reveal thee true character of a person you just met, observe them stock on an abysmally slow internet connection.

关于工作上的事情

换位思考可以解决很多问题，现在的人们大多都是只考虑自己。有效的交流真的很重要，特别是在臃肿的科技大厂。但是，好的交流，需要仔细听别人要什么，想想别人的角度。

Being curious about another person’s view is the most powerful way to change their view. Mastering the view through the eyes of others will unlock so many doors.

The purpose of listening is not to reply, but to hear what is not being said.

当然，说也很重要。最重要的，少说，慢点说，自信地说。

Speak confidently as if you are right, but listen carefully as if you are wrong.

When speaking to an audience, it’s better to fix your gaze on a few people than to “spray” your gaze across the room. Your eyes telegraph to others whether you really believe what you are saying.

When speaking to an audience, pause frequently. Pause before you say something in a new way, pause after you have said something you believe is important, and pause as a relief to let listeners absorb details.

Generally, say less than necessary.

工作中很真实的情况，写东西要precise。

Spend as much time crafting the subject line of an email as the message itself, because the subject line is often the only thing people read.

不用说干啥就干啥，不要成为一个machine。

Don’t let your email inbox become your to-do list run by others.

知道了，争取做 world’s best boss

Train employee well enough that they could get another job, but treat them well enough that they never want to.

Criticize in private, praise in public.

员工和老板很难同一个角度思考问题，这也是我转SDM深切体会到的，终于明白了当时我老板的一些问题。

Think like your boss.

就像Top Gun里面Maverick说的，don’t think, just do啊

There is no perfection, only progress. Done is much better than perfect.

个人和团队的不同优势。

If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go further, go together.

还有一些稍稍严肃的人生建议

Very few regrets in life are about what you did. Almost all are about what you didn’t do.

For every good thing you love, ask yourself what your proper dose is.

Pay attention to what you pay attention to.

Don’t measure your life with someone else’s ruler.

最后老头子👴给大家的完美结尾，稳稳的免责声明。

Advice like these are not laws. They are like hats. If one doesn’t fit, try another.
