Derek Sivers：我希望刚进伯克利音乐学院我就能知道的6件事 1. Focus. Disconnect. Do not be distracted. 2. Do not accept their speed limit. 3. Nobody will teach you anything. You have to teach yourself. 4. Learn from your heroes, not only theirs. 5. Don’t get stuck in the past. 6. When done, be valuable.

Focus. Disconnect. Do not be distracted. 1. 专注。排除杂念。不被干扰。 My favorite part of the movies is the training sequence, where a young Bruce Wayne, Neo or Kung-Fu Panda goes to a remote location to be trained relentlessly, nonstop, past all breaking points, until they emerge as a master. 电影中我最喜欢的部分就是练功阶段，年轻的Bruce Wayne, Neo或功夫熊猫到遥远的地方，坚持不懈地练习，一路突破，直到成为大师。 The next few years can be your training sequence, if you focus. 如果你专注投入，未来几年可以是你的练功阶段。 Unfortunately you’re not in Siberia. You’re surrounded by distractions. 可惜，你不在西伯利亚。你身边处处都是干扰。 You’re surrounded by cool tempting people, hanging out casually, telling you to relax. 你被酷酷的人所包围，他们充满诱惑，四处游玩，告诉你要放松。 But the casual ones end up having casual talent and merely casual lives. 可这些随意的人才能平平，生活差强人意。 Looking back, my only Berklee classmates that got successful were the ones who were fiercely focused, determined, and undistractable. 回首过去，我那些成功的伯克利同学们都是异常专注、意志坚定、不受任何干扰的人。 While you’re here, presidents will change, the world will change, and the media will try to convince you how important it all is. 你读书的时候，校长会换人，世界在变化，媒体会努力说服你这有多重要。 But it’s not. None of it matters to you now. 其实不然。对你而言，现在它们都不重要。 You are being tested. 你在接受试炼。 Your enemy is distraction. 你的敌人就是干扰。 Stay offline. Shut off your computer. Stay in the shed. 保持离线。关断电脑。闭关修炼。 When you emerge in a few years, you can ask someone what you missed, and you’ll find it can be summed up in a few minutes. 当几年后你复出时，可以问问别人你错过了什么，你会发现这些都可以在几分钟内总结完。 The rest was noise you’ll be
