And I think the most powerful way to learn is still through reading.

我認為最有力的學習方式還是通過閱讀。

Reading is to your mind what exercise is to your body.

閱讀之於心靈，就如同運動之於身體。

So we should read every single day, even just to read, to learn new things, but also to train your brain.

是以，我們應該每天閱讀，哪怕只是為了閱讀，為了學習新知識，也是為了訓練你的大腦。

To keep it young, to keep it fresh and focused. And if you want to read a book a week, it sounds intimidating.

要保持年輕，要保持新鮮和專注。如果你想每週讀一本書，這聽起來很嚇人。

Uh, but the average book according to Amazon has about 64,000 words.

但根據亞馬遜的統計，一本書平均約有 64,000 字。

The average person reads about 200 words per minute.

平均每人每分鐘閱讀約 200 個單詞。

So if you divide those two numbers together, it takes about 320 minutes to get through a book.

是以，如果把這兩個數字相加，讀完一本書大約需要 320 分鐘。

Now that sounds like a lot, right?

聽起來很多吧？

320 minutes, but if you divide it by seven days in a week, that's about 45 minutes a day.

320 分鐘，但如果除以一週中的七天，每天約為 45 分鐘。

And 45 minutes a day, you could get through a book a week. So it's actually very doable.

每天 45 分鐘，一週就能讀完一本書。所以，這實際上是非常可行的。

You know, sitting down 45 minutes, maybe 15 minutes here or 15 minutes there. And what does it give you?

你知道，坐下來 45 分鐘，也許這裡 15 分鐘，那裡 15 分鐘。這能給你帶來什麼？

It gives you an advantage, you know.

這給了你優勢，你知道的。

When you know something other people don't know, if somebody has decades of experience and they put it into a book.

當你知道一些別人不知道的事情時，如果有人擁有數十年的經驗並將其寫成一本書。

And you can sit down in an afternoon or a day or in a week and read that book, you could download decades into days.

你可以坐下來，用一個下午、一天或一週的時間讀完這本書，你可以把幾十年的時間下載到幾天裡。

And that's your biggest competitive advantage.

這就是你最大的競爭優勢。

The truth is, not everybody has equal resources.

事實上，並不是每個人都擁有同等的資源。

That's the truth.

這就是事實。

Not everybody has equal education, not everybody has equal network.

不是每個人都有平等的教育，不是每個人都有平等的網絡。

Not everybody has equal money in their bank account, not everyone has equal income.

不是每個人銀行賬戶裡的錢都一樣多，不是每個人的收入都一樣高。

What everybody has equal is the amount of time they have.

每個人的時間都是平等的。

24 hours in a day, 86,400 seconds in a day.

一天 24 小時，一天 86 400 秒。

And how you invest that into long-term, you know, investment in terms of the return of.

你如何將這些資金投入到長期投資中去？

Of what it's going to bring back into you in terms of income, in terms of impact, in terms of influence.

它會給你帶來什麼收入、影響和影響力。

But the most important thing is to schedule, because if you don't schedule it, it does not get done.

但最重要的是安排時間，因為如果不安排時間，就無法完成任務。

Everybody talks about it and it becomes a dream.

每個人都在談論它，它成了一個夢想。

Everybody talks about all the goals and everything, but if we're just talking about it, nothing happens.

每個人都在談論所有的目標和一切，但如果我們只是空談，什麼也不會發生。

Until it's the most powerful productivity performance tool we own is our calendar.

我們擁有的最強大的生產力工具就是我們的日曆。

Right? Open up your phone and you put meetings in there, you put client meetings, customer prospecting meetings, you put your doctor's appointment.

對不對？打開手機，把會議、客戶會議、潛在客戶會議、醫生預約都放進去。

But put your personal growth in there also, because if it's not there, it comes last and often you just forget about it.

但也要把個人成長放在其中，因為如果沒有個人成長，它就會排在最後，而你往往就會忘記它。
