一 人物介绍

凯文·凯利（Kevin Kelly，1952年4月28日，常常称为KK）是著名的科技评论家，曾经担任《连线》（Wired）杂志的第一任主编。

他也有多重身份：作家、摄影家、自然资源保护者，同样还是亚洲文化、数字文化领域的学者。

他的著作《失控》非常有名。1999年的《黑客帝国》，在某种程度上是对凯文·凯利对网络文化的观察和预言的一种隐喻。《失控》也是该片导演要求主要演员必读的三本书之一。另外两部是：Jean Baudrillard着的《Simulacra and Simulation》（《拟仿物与拟象》）和Dylan Evans着的《Introducing Evolutionary Psychology》[1]。

 

去年4月28日是他68岁的生日。他在个人网站上，发表了一篇《给年轻人的68条建议》，文章的浏览量很大。

今年4月28日69岁生日时，他又续写了一篇《给年轻人的99条建议》。

 

二 给年轻人的建议68条

本人翻译有限，所以仅会翻译一部分，如果翻译不当，望理解。也可以直接阅读原文。

• Learn how to learn from those you disagree with, or even offend you. See if you can find the truth in what they believe.

• Being enthusiastic is worth 25 IQ points.

• Always demand a deadline. A deadline weeds out the extraneous and the ordinary. It prevents you from trying to make it perfect, so you have to make it different. Different is better.

总是对事情要求最后期限。deadline会使你淘汰一些无关紧要的东西。他会阻止你把事情做的完美，所以你需要把他做的与众不同。而与众不同的点是更好的。

• Don’t be afraid to ask a question that may sound stupid because 99% of the time everyone else is thinking of the same question and is too embarrassed to ask it.

不要害怕去问一个听起来很愚蠢的问题，因为99%的情况下，其他人也在思考这个问题，但是因为太尴尬没有问。

• Being able to listen well is a superpower. While listening to someone you love keep asking them “Is there more?”, until there is no more.

• A worthy goal for a year is to learn enough about a subject so that you can’t believe how ignorant you were a year earlier.

我们可以设置一个有意义的目标，花一年时间对一门学科有足够的了解，这样一年后才发现自己之前那么无知。

• Gratitude will unlock all other virtues and is something you can get better at.

• Treating a person to a meal never fails, and is so easy to do. It’s powerful with old friends and a great way to make new friends.

• Reading to your children regularly will bond you together and kickstart their imaginations.

定期给你的孩子读书，可以让你们更亲密，并且还可以激发孩子的想象力。

• Never use a credit card for credit. The only kind of credit, or debt, that is acceptable is debt to acquire something whose exchange value is extremely likely to increase, like in a home. The exchange value of most things diminishes or vanishes the moment you purchase them. Don’t be in debt to losers.

• Pros are just amateurs who know how to gracefully recover from their mistakes.

专业人士其实就是能更优雅的从错误从回到正常状态的业余人士。

• Extraordinary claims should require extraordinary evidence to be believed.

• Don’t be the smartest person in the room. Hangout with, and learn from, people smarter than yourself. Even better, find smart people who will disagree with you.

•Rule of 3 in conversation. To get to the real reason, ask a person to go deeper than what they just said. Then again, and once more. The third time’s answer is close to the truth.

谈话中的"3"规则。为了弄清真正的原因，请一个人比他们刚才说的要深入。 第一次，第二次。 第三次回答就很接近事实。

• Don’t be the best. Be the only.

• Everyone is shy. Other people are waiting for you to introduce yourself to them, they are waiting for you to send them an email, they are waiting for you to ask them on a date. Go ahead.

•每个人都害羞。 其他人正在等待你向他们介绍自己，他们正在等待你向他们发送电子邮件，他们正在等待你向他们询问日期。 Go ahead。

• Don’t take it personally when someone turns you down. Assume they are like you: busy, occupied, distracted. Try again later. It’s amazing how often a second try works.

• The purpose of a habit is to remove that action from self-negotiation. You no longer expend energy deciding whether to do it. You just do it. Good habits can range from telling the truth, to flossing

• Promptness is a sign of respect.

守时是尊重的标志

• When you are young spend at least 6 months to one year living as poor as you can, owning as little as you possibly can, eating beans and rice in a tiny room or tent, to experience what your “worst” lifestyle might be. That way any time you have to risk something in the future you won’t be afraid of the worst case scenario.

•当你年轻时，至少要花6个月至一年的时间尽可能地贫穷，尽可能拥有少的东西，在很小的房间或帐篷中吃豆类和大米，以体验“最糟糕”的生活方式。 这样一来，你将来在需要冒险的任何时候都不会担心最坏的情况。

• Trust me: There is no “them”.

• The more you are interested in others, the more interesting they find you. To be interesting, be interested.

• Optimize your generosity. No one on their deathbed has ever regretted giving too much away.

• To make something good, just do it. To make something great, just re-do it, re-do it, re-do it. The secret to making fine things is in remaking them.

• The Golden Rule will never fail you. It is the foundation of all other virtues.

• If you are looking for something in your house, and you finally find it, when you’re done with it, don’t put it back where you found it. Put it back where you first looked for it.

• Saving money and investing money are both good habits. Small amounts of money invested regularly for many decades without deliberation is one path to wealth.

• To make mistakes is human. To own your mistakes is divine. Nothing elevates a person higher than quickly admitting and taking personal responsibility for the mistakes you make and then fixing them fairly. If you mess up, fess up. It’s astounding how powerful this ownership is.

• You can obsess about serving your customers/audience/clients, or you can obsess about beating the competition. Both work, but of the two, obsessing about your customers will take you further.

• Show up. Keep showing up. Somebody successful said: 99% of success is just showing up.

• Separate the processes of creation from improving. You can’t write and edit, or sculpt and polish, or make and analyze at the same time. If you do, the editor stops the creator. While you invent, don’t select. While you sketch, don’t inspect. While you write the first draft, don’t reflect. At the start, the creator mind must be unleashed from judgement.

将创作过程和改进过程分开。你不能同时进行编写和编辑，雕刻和润饰，或者同时进行制作和分析。 如果这样做，the editor stops the creator。 进行发明时，请不要选择。 素描时，请勿检查。 在撰写初稿时，请不要reflect(反省，思考)。 在初期，必须释放创作者的思想。

• If you are not falling down occasionally, you are just coasting.

• Perhaps the most counter-intuitive truth of the universe is that the more you give to others, the more you’ll get. Understanding this is the beginning of wisdom.

•宇宙中最违反直觉的真理是，你对他人的付出越多，你就会获得更多。 了解这一点是智慧的开始。

• Friends are better than money. Almost anything money can do, friends can do better. In so many ways a friend with a boat is better than owning a boat.

• This is true: It’s hard to cheat an honest man.

• When an object is lost, 95% of the time it is hiding within arm’s reach of where it was last seen. Search in all possible locations in that radius and you’ll find it.

•当有物体丢失时，有95％的物体藏在最后一次见到的手臂可及的范围内。 搜索该半径范围内的所有可能位置，即可找到它。

• You are what you do. Not what you say, not what you believe, not how you vote, but what you spend your time on.

• There is no limit on better. Talent is distributed unfairly, but there is no limit on how much we can improve what we start with.

• Be prepared: When you are 90% done any large project (a house, a film, an event, an app) the rest of the myriad details will take a second 90% to complete.

做好准备：当你90％完成任何大型项目（房屋，电影，活动，应用程序）时，其余的许多细节将花费另外90％的时间来完成。

•Anything real begins with the fiction of what could be. Imagination is therefore the most potent force in the universe, and a skill you can get better at. It’s the one skill in life that benefits from ignoring what everyone else knows.

• When you get an invitation to do something in the future, ask yourself: would you accept this if it was scheduled for tomorrow? Not too many promises will pass that immediacy filter.

• Don’t say anything about someone in email you would not be comfortable saying to them directly, because eventually they will read it.

• If you desperately need a job, you are just another problem for a boss; if you can solve many of the problems the boss has right now, you are hired. To be hired, think like your boss.

•如果你迫切需要一份工作，那对老板来说只是另一个问题。 但是如果你能解决老板现在遇到的许多问题，你就会被录用。 要被录用，像老板一样思考。

• Art is in what you leave out.

• Acquiring things will rarely bring you deep satisfaction. But acquiring experiences will.

• Rule of 7 in research. You can find out anything if you are willing to go seven levels. If the first source you ask doesn’t know, ask them who you should ask next, and so on down the line. If you are willing to go to the 7th source, you’ll almost always get your answer.

• How to apologize: Quickly, specifically, sincerely.

• Don’t ever respond to a solicitation or a proposal on the phone. The urgency is a disguise.

•永远不要在电话上回应邀请或提议。 紧迫性是一种伪装。

• When someone is nasty, rude, hateful, or mean with you, pretend they have a disease. That makes it easier to have empathy toward them which can soften the conflict.

• Eliminating clutter makes room for your true treasures.

• Experience is overrated. When hiring, hire for aptitude, train for skills. Most really amazing or great things are done by people doing them for the first time.

•经验是被高估的。  大多数真正令人惊奇或伟大的事情都是由人们第一次完成的。

• A vacation + a disaster = an adventure.

• Buying tools: Start by buying the absolute cheapest tools you can find. Upgrade the ones you use a lot. If you wind up using some tool for a job, buy the very best you can afford.

• Learn how to take a 20-minute power nap without embarrassment.

• Following your bliss is a recipe for paralysis if you don’t know what you are passionate about. A better motto for most youth is “master something, anything”. Through mastery of one thing, you can drift towards extensions of that mastery that bring you more joy, and eventually discover where your bliss is.

• I’m positive that in 100 years much of what I take to be true today will be proved to be wrong, maybe even embarrassingly wrong, and I try really hard to identify what it is that I am wrong about today.

• Over the long term, the future is decided by optimists. To be an optimist you don’t have to ignore all the many problems we create; you just have to imagine improving our capacity to solve problems.
