A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
生产力
Productivity
I turned down a scholarship to Yale. The problem with college is that there's a tendency to mistake preparation for productivity. You can prepare all you want, but if you never roll the dice you'll never be successful.
我拒绝了耶鲁大学的奖学金。大学教育的问题在于，人们往往会把准备工作错当成是提高工作效率。你可以准备你想要的一切，但如果你不掷骰子，你永远不会成功。
Being lazy does not mean that you do not create. In fact, lying around doing nothing is an important, nay crucial, part of the creative process. It is meaningless bustle that actually gets in the way of productivity. All we are really saying is, give peace a chance.
懒惰并不意味着你不创造。事实上，无所事事是创作过程中一个重要的，甚至是至关重要的部分。毫无意义的忙碌实际上阻碍了生产力的发展。我们真正想说的是，给和平一个机会。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done. Make at least one definite move daily toward your goal.
如果你花太多的时间想一件事，你永远也做不成。每天至少向你的目标迈出一步。
Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.
把你所有的思想集中在手头的工作上。太阳光线在聚焦之前不会燃烧。
Productivity and the growth of productivity must be the first economic consideration at all times, not the last. That is the source of technological innovation, jobs, and wealth.
在任何时候，生产率和生产率增长都必须是首要的经济考虑因素，而不是最后一个。这是技术创新、就业和财富的源泉。
Trade helps bring us products cheaply, but there is no guarantee whatsoever to assume that it will allow us to replace the jobs that have been lost, and there is no mechanism under productivity that says that, either.
贸易为我们带来了廉价的产品，但我们不能保证它会让我们取代失去的工作岗位，生产率下也没有这样的机制。
I have always advocated for funding and programs that increase our productivity and competitiveness.
我一直主张为提高我们的生产力和竞争力的项目提供资金。
I couldn't understand why my productivity went down when I had deliberately made more time available to write. Then I realized it was because I wasn't flying as much.
我不明白，当我故意腾出更多的时间来写作时，为什么我的效率会下降。然后我意识到，这是因为我不常坐飞机。
