The Almanack of Naval Ravikant 金句摘录与感悟

关于迅速行动

Inspiration is perishable—act on it immediately.

凡事想到就要行动起来，好的点子很快会消失，所以想到就要记下来，马上行动安排起来。

If there’s something you want to do later, do it now. There is no “later.

做事要趁早，行动要迅速，想到就要行动，就要力求做到。

关于人生态度

Be present.

每天都是余生的第一天，过去的人生已经消失，未来的人生需要自己来创造，只有此刻才真正属于我。因此，要把握好当下，享受好当下，follow my heart。

The ability to singularly focus is related to the ability to lose yourself and be present, happy, and (ironically) more effective.

Focus on what you’re doing right now. 学会让内心的杂念平静下来，学会放空大脑，抛开杂念，全心投入你正在做的事情里。你将会变得更加高效率，而且更快乐。

Your life is a firefly blink in a night. You’re here for such a brief period of time… All that matters is you experience your reality as you go through life. Why not interpret it in the most positive possible way?

在宇宙时间的维度上，人生极其短暂，微不足道。个人的人生体验，全在于自己如何解读自己的人生经历。那么既然如此，当然要往积极地方向去解读人生。

The world just reflects your own feelings back at you. Reality is neutral. Reality has no judgements.

深刻认识人生是一个人的旅程，世界是中性的，个人眼中的世界只是自己内在情绪的反映。要“改变”世界，唯一的方法就是改变自己。古语云，“行事不得，反求诸已”，说的正是这个道理。

学会Acceptance

The sooner you can accept it as a reality, the sooner you can adapt to it.

所有的suffering都是出现成长和学习机会的信号，任何事情都有积极的一面，所有的批评和失败都是在提醒自己—我又找到了可以提升自我的空间。

关于嫉妒

It’s such a poisonous emotion because, at the end of the day, you’re no better off with jealousy… If you’re not willing to do a wholesale, 24/7, 100 percent swap with who that person is, then there is no point in being jealous.

嫉妒是难以避免的情绪，但当你认识到—1）嫉妒并不能让自己变得更好；2）自己也不愿意和嫉妒的对象完全交换人生…的时候，就会意识到嫉妒是毫无必要的事情。与其嫉妒他人，不如专注于做好自己。

The reality is life is a single-player game. You’re born alone. You’re going to die alone. All of your interpretations are alone. All your memories are alone.

学会接受人生就是独自一人的经历。所以要过好这一生，就要让自己对于人生的解读更加积极正面，专注于提升自己。

关于长期主义

All benefits in life come from compound interest, whether in money, relationships, love, health, activities, or habits.

凡事要坚持长期主义视角。任何追求短期利益的想法和行为，无论有多大的诱惑力，都应该被坚决摒弃。

Much of finding great relationships, great coworkers, great lovers, wives, husbands, is finding other people where your values line up.

价值观第一。与价值观相符的人在一起，收获的将是和谐、快乐和共同成长。寻找人生伴侣，价值观一致是首要判断标准。

Building judgement

I probably read one to two hours a day. That puts me in the top .00001 percent.

原来每天只要坚持读书1-2小时，自己就会是全世界最顶尖的一小撮有智慧的人。多么有意思的发现！这是自己完全可以做到的。在阅读过程中，更重要的是要主动思考，读到有收获的内容时，要联系生活实际来思考、判断，如有道理，则应该迅速内化。

Run uphill. If you have two choices to make, and they’re relatively equal choices, take the path more difficult and more painful in the short term… most of the gains in life come from suffering in the short term so you can get paid in the long term.

人生有两杯水，一杯苦水，一杯甜水。我永远应该先喝苦水，再喝甜水。所有短期的suffering，都是为长期的gain做出的投资。

If you can’t decide, the answer is no…It’s very, very important we only say yes when we are pretty certain… If you cannot decide, the answer is no.

人生中任何困难的决定，比如—是否应该娶这个人，是否应该接受这份工作，是否应该买这套房子，是否应该搬到这座城市，是否应该与某个商业伙伴一起合作…这类重要决定，最好内心是特别向往的时候才答应。

“Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.”—Buddhist saying

永远要记得，做自己, just be yourself. 只有这样，人才是最放松的，也是最有自信、最有魅力的。

Building wealth

If you have too many of these moral shortcomings, you will not respect yourself. The worst outcome in this world is not having self-esteem. If you don’t love yourself, who will?... you just have to be very careful about doing things you are fundamentally not going to be proud of, because they will damage you.

走正道，做正确的事，本质上是在提升自己的self-esteem，让自己更加尊敬自己，认可自己，提升自己的能量值。
