Seven life lessons I have learned in 70+ years (Note added Nov. 7, 2011. Thanks to blogger 鮑得海
who provided excellent Chinese translation for the first six lessons

1.Happiness is a positive derivative
【樂觀是向上的！】What I mean is that if your life is constantly imporving, you cannot help but be happy.

2.The only investment idea you need if you are not a professional "Save, Buy,
Diversify, and Hold"; The worst enemy of investment – your emotion and greed"
【作為普通人，隻需要知道一個投資理念：“儲蓄、購買、分散投資、長期持有”】
【投資過程中，最壞的東東是：“衝動和貪婪”】

3.The world is full of people as smart as you are. Thus if you want to stand out
- write and speak well. For ideas you only need one Jesus, but it take billions of missionaries to spread the word

【世界上聰明人很多！如果想要勝出，就要多寫、多說！想出好主意隻要耶穌一個就可以了，但卻需要千萬人去傳播】
（行動原則）

4.The world is full of people as smart as you are. However many are self-centered
on things interesting to them. Thus if you want to stand out, be people-oriented.
Put yourself in others' shoes.
【世界上聰明人很多！但大多數人隻關心自己感興趣的東東。如果需要勝出，最好能多站在別人的角度看問題。】
（換位思考原則）

5.Remember the 80-20 rule. Among other things if your life is 80% perfect, you
need the other 20% to keep you in perspective.
【謹記80-20原則。如果您覺得自己的人生僅僅是80%完美，那麽，餘下的20%的不完美，將是您成功的必須！】
（得失原則）

6.No one promised you a rose garden. The world does not owe you a living
【世界並不虧欠您任何東東！】
（謙卑原則）

7. There is a difference being a nice guy and being a doormat. The former is based on
your own initiative while the latter is something others do to you. (note to Chinese readers:
"Being someone's doormat" means others constantly wipe their dirt on you. You are
always being humiliated)

Unfortunately, I don't always remember to practice these
lessons 100 per cent of the time.
