内容提要：和比你有生活经验的人一起生活、或为之工作、或和他们有联系的最大的益处莫过于可以从他们那里得到建议。
6. Quality is always greater than quantity.
质量永远比数量要重要。
"If you're going to do something, do it well enough to avoid doing it the second time. Going back to do something the second time is a time-waster if you knew it can be done right the first time. Even writing this post, I'm putting in my best effort into editing it, explaining it, and making it easy and enjoyable to read — to avoid going back and fixing any grammatical errors." —Quora user Dennis Do
“如果你要做什么事情，一定一次做好，不要再做第二遍。如果你知道第一次就能做好，那做两遍纯粹是浪费时间。即便是这个帖子，我也是尽力去编辑、去解释，让它易读，且读起来让人心情愉悦——避免再弄一次，去修改其中的语法错误。”——Quora用户丹尼斯
7. Be reliable.
做个可信之人。
"Do what you say you're going to do." —Quora user Blake Alexander
“言而有信，说到就要做到。”——Quora用户布雷克
8. Do the right thing.
做正确的事情。
"Advice from Charlie Munger (not proffered personally): The safest way to try to get what you want is to try to deserve what you want." —Quora user Josh Tarasoff
“从查理-芒格那里得到的建议（不是亲自得到的）：想得到东西的最安全的方式就是努力去让自己理应得到想要的东西。”——Quora用户乔希
9. Slow down.
慢下来
"When I was in my 20s I worked as a waiter at a very popular restaurant. I found it very difficult to keep up with the orders and, consequently, my tips were very low.
“当我20多岁时，我在一家非常受欢迎的餐厅当服务员。我发现很难跟得上那些订单，因此，我的小费非常少。”
One of the very experienced servers took me aside and she said, 'Slow down and take longer steps. You'll feel more relaxed and your customers will see that and trust you.'
“一位非常有经验的服务员把我拉到一边，告诉我，‘慢下来，多走几步。你会更加放松，你的顾客也能够感受到并因而信任你。’”
If you slow down, you have time to think and plan better. Taking longer steps means more than just how you move through a space. It's about looking ahead and covering more ground, encompassing more than just the task at hand." —Quora user Gordon Bennet
如果你慢下来，你就有时间思考，并能更好地计划。多走几步不仅仅是走路。它还包括往前看，多注意一些详细的情况，而不仅仅是手头的任务。”——Quora用户贝内特
