How to get lucky in life
好运气的敲门砖
Listen to Your Gut
相信自己的直觉
Humor has bailed me out of more tight situations than I can think of. If you go with your instincts and keep your humor, creativity follows. With luck, success comes, too.– Jimmy Buffett
幽默让我在很多紧张的情况都变得没那么慌张。如果你跟随自己的直觉,保持你的幽默,创造力也就如约而至。有了运气,成功也就来了。——吉米·巴菲特
Look, we all make the occasional bad decision, so it's in your best interest to be decisive. Trust your gut instinct and allow your intuition to guide you.
我们都做过错误的决定,所以要让自己决断起来。相信你的直觉,让它指引着你。
Of course, you could agonize over every single decision in your life, but there is no guarantee that all that extra deliberation will lead to an increased likelihood of success (odds are it'll just result in wasted time and opportunity).
当然,你需要仔细衡量人生中的每一个决定,但也不能确保你的每一个深思熟虑都能加大成功的机会(也有可能只是浪费时间和机会罢了)。
