- 當有人幫助你分辨以上兩者時，對他們的相信
When public speaking, pause frequently. Pause before you say something in a new way, pause after you have said something you believe is important, and pause as a relief to let listeners absorb details.
公開發表言論時，要時常停頓。用新的方式講述之前、說到重點之後、當聽衆需要消化内容時，停頓一下。

如果我的印象沒錯的話，這句話也是他借用了網路上的俏皮建議。應該不是 KK 原創的想法。
You’ll get 10x better results by elevating good behavior rather than punishing bad behavior, especially in children and animals.
獎勵比懲罰的效果好10倍，特別是針對孩童跟動物。
雖然 KK 這麽說，但在心理學上，其實並沒有獎勵就是比懲罰有效的說法。如果從操作制約的角度來討論的話，目前認爲「正增强」（Positive Reinforcement）跟「負懲罰」（Negative Punishment）會是比較建議的教養方式。（我的言論參考了謝伯讓的《爲何三歲開始說謊》）
Spend as much time crafting the subject line of an email as the message itself because the subject line is often the only thing people read.

所以不如向對方說：「如果你强烈推薦這個求職者，請回復我」

深感同意。成長就是一系列的減法：腦神經的成熟如是（突觸刪減的過程）、學習亦然（懂得什麽可以不學）。
The advantage of a ridiculously ambitious goal is that it sets the bar very high so even in failure it may be a success measured by the ordinary.

Keep all your things visible in a hotel room, not in drawers, and all gathered into one spot.

住飯店時不要把東西放抽屜，全部擺出來放在一起。如果有像是充電器之類的小東西，故意放一些大物品在旁邊。

When you have some success, the feeling of being an imposter can be real. Who am I fooling?

To keep young kids behaving on a car road trip, have a bag of their favorite candy and throw a piece out the window each time they mishehave.
開車載小孩時，帶上他們最愛的糖果。每當他們表現不好，就扔出一塊。

這世間事物有九成都是垃圾。如果你認爲你不喜歡歌劇、言情小説、抖音、鄉村音樂、素食、NFT，那試著去找到那一成不是垃圾的部分。
這句引用的是 Sturgeon’s law。但我其實看不太出 KK 這裏想表達的是什麽，是想鼓勵我們去找出我們認爲的那一成有價值的東西嗎？你們怎麽看？
