Businessmen and Entrepreneurs 商人和企业家门
5. Be Impulsive: In business, if you have a good idea, you need to move quickly to keep ahead of your competition. In the words of Bill Gates, “When you find a good idea act on it right away.”
5、保持进取。在商界,如果你有好的想法,那么你需要加快行动赶在对手前面。比尔盖茨说过,“如果你有想法就立刻去行动”。
6. Get Ahead By Making It Personal: “Big businesses will always try to crush small upstarts. To beat big businesses, use the strengths of being small. Big corporations are impersonal; staff are often not treated well. At a small company, you can make sure your staff are proud of working for you and then they’ll work hard to be successful. And small companies are more nimble.” – Sir Richard Branson
6、通过人性化的管理走在前面。“大企业总试图消灭小公司,想要打败大企业,应该使用小公司的优势。大企业通常不是个人的,员工们得到的照顾很少,而在小企业中,你可以通过人性化的管理使得他们以为你工作而骄傲,同时不断地取得工作上的业绩。同时小企业也更加灵活自如。”——理查德布兰森爵士
7. Work Long Hours Now, Reap the Benefits Later: Ben Franklin knew the benefits of working long hours, as well as being known among his peers as being a person who worked long hours. This work ethic was essential for growing his printing business. He also had a routine of asking himself questions during the day. Ben Franklin asked himself each morning (at 5 am), “What good shall I do today?”; every night before bed (around 10 pm), “What good have I done to-day?”
7、先苦后甜。本富兰克林知道长时间工作的益处,也成为了同辈中长时间工作的人。这个工作法则使得他的印刷事业蒸蒸日上,他经常在白天对自己提出一些问题,每天清晨5点,本富兰克林都会问自己,“我今天最好要做什么?”,每天晚上睡觉前,大约10点,他又会问自己“我今天做了什么?”
