1、巴菲特

巴菲特一直是全球最富有的人之一，他是 20 世纪最成功的投资者。

他建议写下自己的前 25 项职业目标，再看看这 25 个目标，从中圈出前 5 个。你没圈的事情已经变成你不惜一切代价要避免（Avoid-At-All-Cost）的清单。不管如何，在你的前 5 个目标成功之前你都不要去关注那些事情。


Everything you didn’t circle just became your Avoid-At-All-Cost list. No matter what, these things get no attention from you until you’ve succeeded with your top 5.

2、乔布斯

乔布斯就不介绍了。

他说，很多公司都会列出明年要完成的 10 件事，但 “明智的公司会把事项缩减到 3、4 项。”

Jobs explained in a presentation that many companies will make a list of 10 things they want to achieve in a year, but “the smart companies will take that list and shrink it to three or four items.”

乔布斯会在苹果员工面前摆上白板，写下苹果接下来要干的事情。然后乔布斯会把他认为是愚蠢的想法划掉，最后再把最终清单的后几条删掉。

Jobs applied this strategy to the “top 100″ retreats he would hold with Apple’s leadership. On the retreat’s last day, Jobs stood in front of his employees with a whiteboard and wrote down suggestions for what Apple should be doing next. Jobs then crossed off the ones he considered “dumb”. Then he crossed out the bottom seven for the final list.

3、Elon Musk

Elon Musk 从 PayPal 出来以后，成为 Tesla 和 SpaceX 的 CEO

他认为有一个反馈回环非常重要，这样你可以不断去思考做了什么，怎么去做得更好。他觉得是这是唯一最好的一个建议：不断思考如何做得更好，不断对自己提问题。

“I think it’s very important to have a feedback loop, where you’re constantly thinking about what you’ve done and how you could be doing it better. I think that’s the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself” 返回小木虫查看更多
