讀過好幾次了。書讀常新。知識跟經(jīng)驗的東西锡移，本來就沒有對的奸汇，只有你需要的浩销。這次剛好發(fā)現(xiàn)幾點需要的塘雳。

The closed door is symbolic of a closed mind

一個關(guān)閉辦公室門的人很可能就是一個不愛交流的人妻顶，一個不愛和他人交流的人很可能就是一個思想封閉的人沥潭。思想封閉，與世隔絕，就會容易做出錯誤的判斷蓝角。

工作中也要注意細節(jié)患朱。Richard 抓住這么一個細節(jié)就把人給批判了一番执虹。

Once you get your courage up and believe that you can do important problems, then you can.

注意，是 "important"当叭。結(jié)合背景就知道是 Nobel Prize 級別的科展。

Well, one of the reasons is drive and commitment. The people who do great work with less ability but who are committed to it, get more done that those who have great skill and dabble in it, who work during the day and go home and do other things and come back and work the next day. They don't have the deep commitment that is apparently necessary for really first-class work. They turn out lots of good work, but we were talking, remember, about first-class work. There is a difference.

The second thing is, I think, the problem of personality defects. Now I'll cite a fellow whom I met out in Irvine. He had been the head of a computing center and he was temporarily on assignment as a special assistant to the president of the university. It was obvious he had a job with a great future. He took me into his office one time and showed me his method of getting letters done and how he took care of his correspondence. He pointed out how inefficient the secretary was. He kept all his letters stacked around there; he knew where everything was. And he would, on his word processor, get the letter out. He was bragging how marvelous it was and how he could get so much more work done without the secretary's interference. Well, behind his back, I talked to the secretary. The secretary said, Of course I can't help him; I don't get his mail. He won't give me the stuff to log in; I don't know where he puts it on the floor. Of course I can't help him. So I went to him and said, Look, if you adopt the present method and do what you can do single-handedly, you can go just that far and no farther than you can do single-handedly. If you will learn to work with the system, you can go as far as the system will support you. And, he never went any further. He had his personality defect of wanting total control and was not willing to recognize that you need the support of the system.

You find this happening again and again; good scientists will fight the system rather than learn to work with the system and take advantage of all the system has to offer. It has a lot, if you learn how to use it. It takes patience, but you can learn how to use the system pretty well, and you can learn how to get around it. After all, if you want a decision No, you just go to your boss and get a No easy. If you want to do something, don't ask, do it. Present him with an accomplished fact. Don't give him a chance to tell you No. But if you want a No, it's easy to get a No.

這是別人的故事嗎溉奕？

Now you are going to tell me that somebody has to change the system. I agree; somebody's has to. Which do you want to be? The person who changes the system or the person who does first-class science? Which person is it that you want to be? Be clear, when you fight the system and struggle with it, what you are doing, how far to go out of amusement, and how much to waste your effort fighting the system. My advice is to let somebody else do it and you get on with becoming a first-class scientist. Very few of you have the ability to both reform the system and become a first-class scientist.

Be great or be best. 千萬不要以為 you can do both加勤。

Another fault is anger. Often a scientist becomes angry, and this is no way to handle things. Amusement, yes, anger, no. Anger is misdirected. You should follow and cooperate rather than struggle against the system all the time.

Another thing you should look for is the positive side of things instead of the negative.

一個高情商的人，能讓周圍的人都快樂。如果你不確定自己是否高情商，請在工作中保持愉快的心情就是了浑测。
