How to Get Rich (without getting lucky)
无需时来运转，亦可财务自由
Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy.
寻求财富，而不是金钱或地位。财富意味着拥有让你赚取睡后收入的资产。金钱表示我们如何转换时间和财富。地位是你在社会等级体系中的位置。
Understand that ethical wealth creation is possible. If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you.
理解通过合乎道德的方式创造财富是切实可行的。如果你内心没有给予财富足够的重视，它就会离你而去。
Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.
不要理会那些进行身份博弈的人。他们通过攻击创造财富的人获取社会地位。
You’re not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity - a piece of a business - to gain your financial freedom.
你不可能通过出租自己的时间变得富有，你应该通过拥有股权，某项业务的一部分，来赢得财务自由。
You will get rich by giving society what it wants but does not yet know how to get. At scale.
你应该通过向社会提供其所需要的，但还不知道如何获取的东西变得富有。提供方式应该是可规模化扩展的。
Pick an industry where you can play long term games with long term people.
选择一个行业，在这个行业里你可以和目光长远的人一起谋取长期收益。
The Internet has massively broadened the possible space of careers. Most people haven't figured this out yet.
互联网极大地拓展了职业生涯的可行空间，大部分人并没有意识到这一点。
Play iterated games. All the returns in life, whether in wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest.
做反复有效的工作。人生所有的回报，无论是财富，关系，亦或知识，均来自于复利。
Pick business partners with high intelligence, energy, and, above all, integrity.
选择这样的业务合伙人：聪明过人、精力充沛、最重要的是，诚实正直。
Don't partner with cynics and pessimists.Their beliefs are self-fulfilling.
不要与犬儒主义者和悲观主义者合伙。他们所信奉的仅是满足自我。
Learn to sell. Learn to build. If you can do both, you will be unstoppable.
学习销售，学习创建。如能同时做到这两者，你将会势不可挡。
Arm yourself with specific knowledge, accountability, and leverage.
通过独特知识、责任心和影响力来武装自己。
Specific knowledge is knowledge that you cannot be trained for. If society can train you, it can train someone else, and replace you.
独特知识是无法通过外部培训获取的知识。如果社会可以培训你，也可以培训其他人，而他们终将取代你。
Specific knowledge is found by pursuing your genuine curiosity and passion rather than whatever is hot right now.
独特知识在满足纯粹好奇心与追寻激情的过程中获得，并非通过追逐当下的热点。
Building specific knowledge will feel like play to you but will look like work to others.
创建独特知识的过程于你的体验是一种乐趣，但是在他人看来却是劳作。
When specific knowledge is taught, it’s through apprenticeships, not schools.
独特知识的传授是通过学徒制的，而非学校的教育。
Specific knowledge is often highly technical or creative. It cannot be outsourced or automated.
独特知识通常具有很高的技术性和创造性。这无法通过外包或自动化实现。
Embrace accountability, and take business risks under your own name. Society will reward you with responsibility, equity,and leverage.
勇于担责，将商业风险置于自己的名下。社会对你的回报将是责任、股权、和影响力。
The most accountable people have singular,public, and risky brands: Oprah, Trump, Kanye, Elon.
那些最靠谱的人拥有别具一格、具公众影响力、和高风险回报的品牌：奥普拉、川普、坎耶、马斯克。

Capital and labor are permissioned leverage. Everyone is chasing capital, but someone has to give it to you.Everyone is trying to lead, but someone has to follow you.

Code and media are permissionless leverage.They're the leverage behind the newly rich. You can create software and media that works for you while you sleep.
计算机代码和媒体作品是无需他人许可的杠杠。它们是新富背后的利器。你能够创造计算机代码和媒体作品，让它们在你睡觉时还在为你工作。

You should be too busy to “do coffee," while still keeping an uncluttered calendar.

Set and enforce an aspirational personal hourly rate. If fixing a problem will save less than your hourly rate, ignore it. If outsourcing a task will cost less than your hourly rate, outsource it.
设定并强迫自己执行一个富有进取心的按小时核算的个人时间成本。如果解决一个问题节省的费用低于个人时间成本，就不要理会它。如果外包任务的费用少于个人时间成本，就外包出去。
Work as hard as you can. Even though who you work with and what you work on are more important than how hard you work.
