When specific knowledge is taught, it’s through apprenticeships, not schools.
不能通过学校教育教会一个人独到知识，它只能通过学徒制口传身教。

Specific knowledge is often highly technical or creative. It cannot be outsourced or automated.
独到知识通常极富技术性和创造性，因此它不能被外包或自动实现。

Embrace accountability, and take business risks under your own name. Society will reward you with responsibility, equity, and leverage.
拥抱责任感，押上自己的声誉以承担商业风险。社会也会以责任，产权和杠杆作为回报。

The most accountable people have singular, public, and risky brands: Oprah, Trump, Kanye, Elon.
最具责任感的人都具有独一无二的、世人皆知的、敢于冒险的个性特征，如奥普拉、川普、坎耶、埃隆。

Give me a lever long enough, and a place to stand, and I will move the earth.”—Archimedes
只要给我一根足够长的杠杆，一处可以立足的地方，我就能撬起地球。——阿基米德

Fortunes require leverage. Business leverage comes from capital, people, and products with no marginal cost of replication (code and media).
财富增长需要使用杠杆。商业杠杆有三个来源：1、资本；2、人力；3、复制起来边际成本为零的产品（如：代码和媒体）。

Capital means money. To raise money, apply your specific knowledge, with accountability, and show resulting good judgment.
资本的意思就是钱。想要融资，那就运用你的独到知识，配合你责任感，展示出你良好的判断力。

Labor means people working for you. It’s the oldest and most fought-over form of leverage. Labor leverage will impress your parents, but don’t waste your life chasing it.
人力指的就是为你干活的人，它是最古老也是争夺最激烈的杠杆。人力杠杆会让你父母因为你手下有许多人为你工作而感到骄傲，但你不要浪费生命去追求这一点。

Capital and labor are permissioned leverage. Everyone is chasing capital, but someone has to give it to you. Everyone is trying to lead, but someone has to follow you.
资本和劳动力是需要征得许可才能使用的杠杆。每个人都在追逐资本，但总得有个什么人给你才行；每个人都想要领导其它人，但总得有什么人愿意跟着你才行。

Code and media are permissionless leverage. They’re the leverage behind the newly rich. You can create software and media that works for you while you sleep.
代码和媒体是无需要许可即可使用的杠杆。它们是新贵人群背后的杠杆，你可以通过自己创建的软件和媒体，在睡觉时仍然为你干活。

An army of robots is freely available—it’s just packed in data centers for heat and space efficiency. Use it.
一支机器人军团已经集结待命，只是为了节约空间和热效能，它们被打包放进数据中心。去用吧。

If you can’t code, write books and blogs, record videos and podcasts.
如果你不会编程，那你还可以写书和博客，或者做视频或者音频节目。

Leverage is a force multiplier for your judgement.
杠杆能够成倍地放大你的判断力（所产生的效能）。

Judgement requires experience, but can be built faster by learning foundational skills.
判断力需要经验，但它可以通过学习基本技能的方法更快速地建立起来。

There is no skill called “business.” Avoid business magazines and business classes.
并不存在一种叫做“商业”的能力。尽量避开商业杂志和商业课程。
