Baptiste借的书，事情总是这么神奇，局限于一个角度，深陷其中，难以自拔。但是换个角度，好事可以是坏事，坏事也可以是好事，所谓塞翁失马焉知非福。本书脑洞独特，是麻木生活的一剂好的提神咬。

成功没有固定法则，最重要的是认准自己想要的，心无旁骛地坚持到底。 How you present yourself is how others will value you. He became what he wanted to become before he knew he could do it. He had a goal. Simply change your life. The world is what you think of it. So think of it differently and your life will change.

通篇是让人热血沸腾的标语式句子，虽然你看完后还是该干嘛干嘛，但起码在阅读的时候你也曾热血过不是吗。

我想说两句

Run with what you've got, and fix it as you go

gracekan 2014-04-15 0赞

Too many people spend too much time trying to perfect something before they actually do it. Instead of waiting for perfection, run with what you've got, and fix it as you go.

如果不把励志书仅仅当励志的话，这本书很有现实意义，也行得通。事实也就是这样，要改变现在的自己的话必须尝试新的事情，用另外的思考方式。
让你踌躇停止的可能就是内心的完美主义或不安全感，但是是时候改变一下了，接受不完美的开始，把它变好一点。

用中国曾经流行一时的武打电影中的某句话来概括这本书的话，那叫：“不能流芳百世，也求遗臭万年。”
新奇也好，无聊也罢。能否接受在于一个人的肚量有多少。
社会大众寻求刺激，但也拒绝特别案例。
点亮人们眼睛的，可以是极致的美，也能是万恶的丑。
这就是本书前半段的观点：不求对错，只求出位。博人眼球足矣。
让我想到了什么二娜，以及什么姐姐之类的。

其实心底里升起的一句话是，现在这个社会不就是如此么？
没有所谓的对错，没有所谓的好坏，没有所谓的接受与不接受，大家更注重自己，更注重感受。每一个人都是独特的，相对的，大家没有了共性，社会分崩离析。

有些理想化的认为，社会还是需要大义。类似于上帝的完美存在。人类有这样或那样的缺陷，需要指引。

书的后半段我很喜欢，讲述地是行动。
讲述如何破除中国孩子特有的沉闷和害羞。千百年来的种种斗争让我们变得如此胆怯懦弱。当然，现在已经改变的很多了，可是总让人觉得，这样的改变像是走上了另一条道路。并不是说以另类的方式表达自己有什么错，只是总有些东西，我觉得是不能用来舍弃的。遗臭万年这样的事并不需要常见，生活中需要更多的美好。不管结果如何，我觉得出发点总该是美好的才行。

书中有很多独立的观点，不能一概地论为对错。就像这本书所阐述的一样，一切无非是为了更好地吸引人。

很喜欢书里说的这句，光想或者谈论，是不会让梦想实现。所以，在一个坏主意出现之前，先提出一个主意吧。

It’s NOT because you are making the wrong decisions, it’s because you are making the right ones. we try to make sensible decisions based on the facts in front of us. The problem with making sensible decisions is that so is everyone else.

I wish -- I wish means: wouldn’t it be nice if….
  if you always make the right decision, the safe decision, the one most people make, you will be the same as everyone else….always wishing life was different.

I want -- I want means: if I want it enough I will get it.
  Getting what you want means making the decisions you need to make to get what you want. Not the decisions those around you think you should make. Making the safe decision is dull, predictable and leads nowhere new. the unsafe decision causes you to think and respond in a way hadn’t thought of. and that thought will lead to other thoughts which will help you achieve what you want.
  Start taking bad decisions and it will take you to a place where others only dream of being.

Many people reach the age of forty, only to realize they have missed out on life. In many cases they had everything going for them, except when the gauntlet was tossed their way, they lacked the courage to pick it up.
  No one is going to cut off your right arm, take away your motorbike or put you in jail if you don’t succeed.

… what this man wants, he will get. but he has to want it enough to go about getting it. dreaming and talking about it won’t achieve anything. there’s only one person who can determine the shape of your life. You.
  Who are you going to be?

Meet steady Eddie -- the corporate non-risk taker rises fast on the freshness of youth; an open mind, a pleasant demeanor and good looks will accelerate this rise. His superiors are pleased to promote him since it reflects well on them. the candidate reaches a platform of responsibility, not something to be treated lightly, after all he is now a manager, albeit a junior one. His salary rises in accordance with status, not ability, and he reaches board level. It is now time to appoint a joint or deputy managing director. our man is considered to be a good company man, but he is a bit dull. he doesn’t produce innovation: he doesn’t do anything for the image of the company. there’s a very good young man in his department earning a third of his salary, who younger members f staff respond to. Our man at forty is moved sideways, and at 47 he is out. He didn’t reach the top of the ladder, and has fallen and there’s no climbing back. He’s finished, yet had done nothing wrong.
  That is the problem . He’s done nothing wrong.

George Bernard Shaw said: “ the reasonable man adapts himself to the world, the unreasonable man adapts the world to himself. All progress depends upon the unreasonable man.”

Knowledge makes us play safe. The secret is to stay childish.

Do it, then fix it as you go -- Too many people spend too much time trying to perfect something before they actually do it. Instead of waiting for perfection, run with what you’ve got, and fix it as you go.

Oscar Wilde: “most people are other people, their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”

People are like sheep: they follow the leader, it is the leader who has a point of view about which way they should go. Having an original point of view or angle is novelty. recognizing its value is intelligent. Having the courage to stand up for it in the face of public opinion is what makes you a winner.

Steal -- steal from anywhere that resonate with inspiration or fuels your imagination. devour films, music, books, paintings, poems, photographs,conversations, dreams, trees, architecture, street signs, clouds, light and shadows.
  select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. if you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic.
  authenticity is invaluable.
  originality is non-existent.
  don’t bother concealing your thievery -- celebrate it if you feel like it.

don’t stay too long in a job.

Churchill said that when you are at the top you only have to think about policies. when you are number two you have to think about what your boss is thinking, and what your opposite number is thinking, before you begin to think about policies.
  Start your own company, then you can have control of your own destiny. It makes you number one from the start.

Good marks will not secure you an interesting life. Your imagination will.

Turn up. -- If you don’t have the degrees or fees to go to university, just turn up. If you want to be in a job where they won’t accept you, just turn up. Go to all the lectures, run errands, make yourself useful, let people get to know you. eventually they will accept you, because a part of their community. they will not only respect your perseverance but will like you for it. if may take time, a year say, but you will be in, not out.

The Best piece of advice ever given was by the art director of Harper’s Bazaar, Alexey Brodovitch, to the young Richard Avedon, destined to become one of the world’s great photographers.
the advice was simple: “Astonish me!”
Bear these words in mind, and whatever you do will be creative.
