每日原则

大自然向我们展示了所有的现实规律。这些规律不是人创造的，但通过理解规律，我们能利用规律促进自身的进化，实现我们的目标。

例如，人类能飞行，能在全世界发送手机信号，这些能力来自理解和应用已有的现实规律——物理规律或自然世界的法则。

我花费大部分时间分析给我带来最直接影响的现实——经济、市场、与我打交道的人背后的驱动因素，同时，我也花时间考察自然，通过观察、阅读思考自然的运作原理，并与这方面最好的一些专家交谈，这带给我不少收获。我发现，考察人类和自然界中其他事物之间有哪些共同和不同的规律，既有趣也很有价值。这给我看待生活的态度带来了很大影响。

All the laws of reality were given to us by nature. Man didn’t create these laws, but by understanding them we can use them to foster our own evolution and achieve our goals.

For example, our ability to fly or to send cell phone signals around the world came from understanding and applying the existing rules of reality—the physical laws or principles that govern the natural world.

While I spend most of my time studying the realities that affect me most directly—those that drive economies, the markets, and the people I deal with—I also spend time in nature and can’t help reflecting on how it works by observing, reading, and speaking with some of the greatest specialists on the subject. I’ve found it both interesting and valuable to observe which laws we humans have in common with the rest of nature and which differentiate us. Doing that has had a big impact on my approach to life.
