When making something, always get a few extras — extra material, extra parts, extra space, extra finishes. The extras serve as backups for mistakes, reduce stress, and fill your inventory for the future. They are the cheapest insurance.

Something does not need to be perfect to be wonderful. Especially weddings.
有些東西不需要達到完美，就已經足夠精彩了。特別是婚禮。

The best way to untangle a knotty tangle is not to “untie” the knots, but to keep pulling the loops apart wider and wider. Just make the mess as big, loose and open as possible. As you open up the knots they will unravel themselves. Works on cords, strings, hoses, yarns, or electronic cables.
打開糾纏在一起的繩結的最好方法，不是要去「解開」繩結，而是要不斷地把鬆動的部分拉得更寬。盡可能把那團亂麻弄大、弄松、弄開。當你打開繩結的時候，它們就會自行解開。這招適用於繩索、線、軟管、毛線或者電線。
Be a good ancestor. Do something a future generation will thank you for. A simple thing is to plant a tree.

Take one simple thing — almost anything — but take it extremely seriously, as if it was the only thing in the world, or maybe the entire world is in it — and by taking it seriously you’ll light up the sky.
去拿一個很簡單的東西——幾乎任何東西都行，但是極其認真地對待它，就好像它是世上唯一的東西一樣，或者就像整個世界都在它裡面一樣。通過認真對待這件東西，你將會點亮天空。
History teaches us that in 100 years from now some of the assumptions you believed will turn out to be wrong. A good question to ask yourself today is “What might I be wrong about?”

Advice like these are not laws. They are like hats. If one doesn’t fit, try another.
這些建議都不是定律。它們更像是帽子。如果其中一頂不合適的話，就試試另一頂。

Your work will be endless, but your time is finite. You cannot limit the work so you must limit your time. Hours are the only thing you can manage.

To succeed, get other people to pay you; to become wealthy, help other people to succeed.
想要成功，就讓別人付錢給你；想要富有，就去幫助別人成功。
Children totally accept — and crave — family rules. “In our family we have a rule for X” is the only excuse a parent needs for setting a family policy. In fact, “I have a rule for X” is the only excuse you need for your own personal policies.
孩子完全接受——甚至渴望——家規。 「在我們家，我們對 X 有一個規矩」是家長設立家庭規範時所需的唯一理由。事實上，「我對 X 有一個規矩」是你給自己設定規範所需的唯一理由。
