“對他人慷慨?！?/strong>

5.Embrace ambiguity
擁抱不確定性

?“Don't be afraid to diverge from your 'plan'. Embrace ambiguity. The uncertain and what may appear high risk in relationships, jobs and life is usually very cool and worthwhile."
“別害怕自己的生活軌跡偏離你的‘計劃’。坦然接受那些模棱兩可的處境，無論是情感，事業(yè)還是生活，不確定的處境和看似危機的情況往往能成為出彩的經歷，讓你受益良多?！?/div>

8.Stop and Look back

9.Learn to reframe rejection
重新理解別人的否定

“Learn to reframe rejection. Whether you’re working towards a?leadership position or building a company, people will frequently tell you no. Instead of seeing it as a shutdown, look at it as an opportunity to figure out why. Are you asking the wrong person? Have you not yet demonstrated you can handle the new?responsibility? Over time, ‘no’ becomes just another opportunity to wait, learn and try again.”
“學著重新理解別人對你的否定，無論是想升職躋身領導層，還是白手起家創(chuàng)業(yè)發(fā)展，在這個過程中人們會頻頻的對你表示否定。不要因此而放棄，而是要借此機會，想想人們?yōu)槭裁捶穸恪Ｊ遣皇悄銢]找到關鍵的人物？是不是你還沒有將自己駕馭新職位的能力充分展現(xiàn)出來？假以時日，“你不行”就會變成一個新機會，讓你靜候佳音，從中學習，再接再厲?！?/div>

“人們總是對重大的抉擇尤其重視（比如要接受哪份工作），然而事實上，未來往往是模糊不清的。帶著冷靜的態(tài)度計劃未來，然后選擇你覺得正確的方向，賣出大膽的一步，要懂得人生少有‘對’，‘錯’之分，只有一個個不同的選擇，引導你走向人生的下一個階段?！?/div>

13.Pay close attention
留意當下，這就是你的人生

“Pay close attention. This is your life.”
