1、

Optimism, obsession, self-belief, raw horsepower and personal connections are how things get started

• 译：事业的开启，源于乐观、执着、自信、行动力及人际关系。

2、

Cohesive teams, the right combination of calmness and urgency, and unreasonable commitment are how things get finished. Long-term orientation is in short supply; try not to worry about what people think in the short term, which will get easier over time

• 译：令一件事业获得成功，需要有凝聚力的团队，并结合冷静与紧迫、不计成本的执着。尽量不要在意他人的短期看法，时间越久，做事就越容易 。

3、

It is easier for a team to do a hard thing that really matters than to do an easy thing that doesn't really matter; audacious ideas motivate people

• 译：对一个团队而言，做一件真正重要的事情比做一件并不重要的事情更容易，具有突破性的想法能够激励同伴。

4、

Incentives are superpowers; set them carefully

• 译：激励可谓“超能力”，但需要谨慎设置激励机制。

5、

Concentrate your resources on a small number of high-conviction bets; this is easy to say but evidently hard to do. You can delete more stuff than you think

• 译：把资源集中在少数高回报的赌注上，这是知易行难的决定，实际上你可以砍掉绝大多数没有必要的内容。

6、

Communicate clearly and concisely

• 译：沟通务必清晰简明。

7、

Fight bullshit and bureaucracy every time you see it and get other people to fight it too. Do not let the org chart get in the way of people working productively together

• 译：保持反对官僚主义、反对废话连篇，更应发动身边的人一起反对，不要让组织结构成为妨碍效率的祸首。

8、

Outcomes are what count; don't let good process excuse bad results

• 译：结果至关重要，在结果很糟糕时，别用过程很优秀来做借口

9、

Spend more time recruiting. Take risks on high-potential people with a fast rate of improvement. Look for evidence of getting stuff done in addition to intelligence

• 译：应花时间招募人才。把机会留给潜力大、进步快的人，除了聪明这个条件外，还要看他们实际工作的表现。

10、

Superstars are even more valuable than they seem, but you have to evaluate people on their net impact on the performance of the organization

• 译：明星员工的实际价值往往比表面更大，但评估时也要考虑到他们对于业务效能的净收益。

11、

Fast iteration can make up for a lot; it's usually ok to be wrong if you iterate quickly. Plans should be measured in decades, execution should be measured in weeks

• 译：快速迭代可以弥补很多不足；如果你迭代速度快，即使犯错也没关系；应以数十年为单位制定计划，以数周为单位安排执行。

12、

Don't fight the business equivalent of the laws of physics

• 译：切勿对抗商业世界的物理法则。

Inspiration is perishable and life goes by fast. Inaction is a particularly insidious type of risk

14、

Scale often has surprising emergent properties

• 译：“扩展企业规模”能够带来一些令人意想不到的机会。

Compounding exponentials are magic. In particular, you really want to build a business that gets a compounding advantage with scale
