纳瓦尔访谈精华：人生只有4000周，专注做对的事！

不可能在所有的事情上都出类拔萃，那样只会浪费时间和精力。如果你想成功，就必须在欲望上有所取舍，必须学会专注。

Impossible on everything all outstanding. That would just waste time and energy. If you want to succeed, you have to choose between desires. We must learn to focus.

内在黄金法则：以他人本该对待你的方式去对待你自己。没有在无条件爱中长大的人来说，这是一种补偿方式。

The inner golden rule: Treat you the way others should treat you. Treat yourself. People who have not been raised in unconditional love, it's a form of compensation.

如果你不想做一件事情，别浪费你的时间。人生如此短暂，人的一生大约只有4,000个星期。

If you don't want to do something, don't waste your time. Life is so short. Life only about 4,000 weeks.

灵感是易逝的，必须立刻行动。所以当你有灵感去做某件事，就马上去做。如果我想发一条推文，就立刻发；如果我想解决一个问题，就立刻动手；如果我想读书，我会立马去读。在产生好奇心的那一刻去学习是最有效的，那才是真正的学习。真正留下的东西，是你在你真正渴望去学的时候学到的。

Inspiration is fleeting. We must act now. So when you get inspired to do something, just do it. If I want to post a tweet, send it immediately. If I want to solve a problem, do it now. If I want to study, I will read it right away. At the moment of curiosity, learning is the most effective. That's real learning. What's really left is you, when you really want to learn, learned.

拖延的根源是你此刻不想做那件事，而是想做别的。那就去做别的事。你越幸福，就越能持续做一件事情，越有可能去做那些会进一步让你更快乐的事情，也就越能持久的努力，把其他人远远的甩在后面。

The root cause of procrastination is you don't want to do that right now, I wanted to do something else. Then go do something else. The happier you are, the more you can keep doing one thing. The more likely they are to do that. Things that will further make you happier. The more sustained the effort, leave everyone else far behind.

没有人能在做你自己这件事上打败你。找到那些对你来说像玩耍，但对别人来说像工作的事情。

No one can you be yourself, beat you. Find those that feel like play to you, but for others, it's like work.

如果你拿不定主意，那答案就是不。大多数事情都应该直接说不。如果你连拒绝都花时间说出口，就是耗费了你大量的精力。

If you can't make up your mind, and the answer is no. Most things should be said simply no. If you take the time to say no, it just takes a lot of your energy.

掌握一项技能需要1万小时，但我认为更为准确的说，应该是1万次迭代。推动学习曲线的是迭代次数，而非单纯的重复。重复是指做同样的事情一遍又一遍，而迭代则是带着学习后的改变再做一次，也就是纠错。只要你在某件事上进行了1万次纠错，你就会成为专家，达到非常高的水平。

Masters a skill, it takes 10,000 hours. But I think it's more accurate to say should be 10,000 iterations. What drives the learning curve is the number of iterations, it's not repetition. Repetition means doing the same thing over and over again. And iteration, it's about learning to change. Do it again. Error correction. As long as you are involved in something, 10,000 corrections were made, you will become an expert, reach a very high level.

通往幸福有两条路：一条是通过成功，你得到你想要的东西，满足物质需求；另一条是根本就不去渴求。我不确定哪条路更合理，也取决于你如何定义成功。如果最终目标是幸福，为何不直接去追求幸福呢？

There are two paths to happiness: One is through success, you get what you want, meeting material needs. And the other is not wanting at all. I'm not sure which way is more reasonable, it depends on how you define success. If the ultimate goal is happiness, why not just pursue happiness?
