Y-Combinator CEO： 写在30岁的人生建议2015-11-23 Sam AltmanI turned 30 last week and a friend asked me if I’d figured out any life advice in the past decade worth passing on. I’m somewhat hesitant to publish this because I think these lists usually seem hollow, but here is a cleaned up version of my answer:1) Never put your family, friends, or significant other low on your priority list. Prefer a handful of truly close friends to a hundred acquaintances. Don’t lose touch with old friends. Occasionally stay up until the sun rises talking to people. Have parties.重视家庭和朋友。有几个知己胜过一百个熟人。不要和老朋友失去联系。偶尔不妨彻夜长谈。多聚会。2) Life is not a dress rehearsal—this is probably it. Make it count. Time is extremely limited and goes by fast. Do what makes you happy and fulfilled—few people get remembered hundreds of years after they dieanyway. Don’t dostuff that doesn’t make you happy (this happens mostoften when other people want you to do something). Don’t spend timetrying to maintain relationships with people you don’tlike, and cut negative people out of your life. Negativity is really bad. Don’t let yourself make excusesfor not doing the things you want to do.人生不是带妆彩排。要分秒必争。生命有限，时光飞逝。做自己开心并且有成就感的事情。很少有人死后还会被记住。不要做那些不开心的事（特别是别人要求你做的事）。不要花时间在不喜欢的人身上。远离消极的人。消极极其有害。想做的事情，不要找借口不做。3) How to succeed: pick the right thing to do(this is critical and usually ignored), focus, believe in yourself (especiallywhen others tell you it’s not going to work), developpersonal connections with people that will help you, learn to identify talentedpeople, and work hard. It’s hard to identify what to work on because original thoughtis hard.如何成功：选择做正确的事情（这至关重要而又经常被忽视）、专注、相信自己（特别是别人告诉你不行的时候）、和能帮助你的人建立联系、学会识别人才，勤奋工作。找到自己想做的事情不容易，开始的想法总是比较粗糙。4) On work: it’sdifficult to do a great job on work you don’t careabout. And it’shard to be totally happy/fulfilled in life if you don’tlike what you do for your work. Workvery hard—a surprising number of people will beoffended that you choose to work hard—but not so hardthat t
