HOW THESE BOOKS ARE ORGANIZED(本书的结构)
Since I have spent most of my adult life thinking about economies and investing, I considered writing Economic and Investment Principles first. But I decided to begin with my Life and Work Principles because they’re more overarching and I’ve seen how well they work for people, independent of their careers. Since they go so well together, they are combined here in one book prefaced by a short autobiography, Where I’m Coming From.
我成年后的生活绝大部分都花在了思考经济和投资领域。所以我考虑过先写关于经济和投资领域的原则。但是我决定从生活和工作原则开始,因为他们是更首要的。并且我已经看到他们是怎样更好的为人们工作的,而且不区分职业。既然他们运行的如此良好,理所当然的被绑定在我从哪里来这本短片自传的前言部分。
Part I: Where I’m Coming From
In this part, I share some of the experiences—most importantly, my mistakes—that led me to discover the principles that guide my decision making. To tell you the truth, I still have mixed feelings about telling my personal story, because I worry that it might distract you from the principles themselves and from the timeless and universalcause-effectrelationshipsthat inform them. For that reason, I wouldn’t mind if you decided to skip this part of the book. If you do read it, try to look past me and my particular story to the logic andmeritof the principles I describe. Think about them, weigh them, and decide how much,if at all, they apply to you and your own life circumstances—and specifically, whether they can help you achieve your goals, whatever they may be.
第一部分:我的原则来自哪里
在这一部分,我会分享一些非常重要的经验,那些引导我发现帮助我做出决策的原则而犯的错(拗口对吗?),为了告诉您实际情况,我任然满怀复杂的感觉告诉你我的故事,因为我担心那些故事可能会使你分心,使你将原则本身和那些无限的,形成原则的因果关系产生混淆。因为那个原因,我不介意你直接跳过本书的这个部分。如果你真读了本书,那么请试着回想我和我的那些关于逻辑和我描述的原则的优点,试着思考、斟酌、然后决定他的价值,如果有的话,这些原则给你和你的生活境遇,是否他们帮你达成你的目标不论他可能是怎样的。
Part II: Life Principles
The overarching principles that drive my approach to everything are laid out in Life Principles. In this section, I explain my principles in greater depth and show how they apply in the natural world, in our private lives and relationships, in business and policymaking, and of course at Bridgewater. I’ll share the 5-Step Process I’ve developed for achieving one’s goals and making effective choices; I’ll also share some of the insights I’ve gained intopsychologyandneuroscienceand explain how I’ve applied them in my private life and in my business. This is the real heart of the book because it shows how these principles can be applied to most anything by most anyone.
第二部分:生活原则
驱使我接近任何事物的首要原则都展现在生活原则中了。在这一章节,我将在更深的层次解释我的原则,并展示他们在自然世界,在我们大家的私生活和联系中,在商业和决策制定,当然也包括桥水基金是如何应用的。我将分享一个包含五步过程的为达成个人目标和有效选择的原则。还将分享我从心理学和神经科学中得到的见解,并解释我是怎样将他们应用到我的个人生活和商业中的。这是本书的核心因为他将展示如何应用于绝大多数人和事。
Part III: Work Principles
In Work Principles, you’ll get a close-up view of the unusual way we operate at Bridgewater. I will explain how we’vecoalescedour principles into an idea meritocracy thatstrivesto deliver meaningful work and meaningful relationships throughradical truthandradical transparency. I’ll show you how this works at agranularlevel and how it can be applied to nearly any organization to make it more effective. As you will see, we are simply a group of people who are striving to be excellent at what we do and who recognize that we don’t know much relative to what we need to know. We believe that thoughtful, unemotionaldisagreementby independent thinkers can be converted into believability-weighted decision making that is smarter and more effective than the sum of its parts.Because the power of a group is so much greater than the power of an individual,I believe these work principles are even more important than the life principles on which they’re based.What Will Follow This Book
第三部分:工作原则
在工作原则中,你会得到一个静距离观察我们是如何运作桥水基金的不寻常的视角。我会解释怎样将我们的原则融合到力求传达有意义的工作和关系通过根本底的真相和彻底透明的创意精粹中。我将向你展示他是如何在微小的层面工作的 以及怎样应用到接近任何组织并使之更有效。你将看到,我们仅仅是一群力求卓越和谦逊求知的人。我们相信那些深思熟虑的,不带个人感情色彩的争论的独立思考者比简单的加和能整合做出更可信的、更聪明、有效的决策。
因为群体的力量比个体的力量大太多了。我坚信那些工作原则比生活原则依据的基础更加的重要。
This print book will be followed by an interactive book in the form of an app that will take you into videos and immersive experiences so that your learning is more experiential. The app will also get to know you through your interactions with it in order to provide you with more personalized advice.
This book and the app will be followed by another volume containing two other parts, Economic and Investment Principles,in which I will pass along the principles that have worked for me and that I believe might help you in these areas.
After that, there will be no advice I can give that will not be available in these two books, and I will be done with this phase of my life.
本书接下来的内容:
这本印刷书籍将随之一本以移动app形式的互动的书籍呈现给您,移动APP带给你视频和仿真的体验,这样你能学到更多经验。App还能随着你们的互动提供 更多的个性化的建议。本书和app后有音频文件包含另外两个部分内容,经济和投资原则,语音文件中我将传达那些为我工作和我相信能帮到你得原则。
好了,除了两本书之外我没有其他更有效的建议了,在我人生的这个阶段我也将始终如一坚持这些原则。
我是007李小军,以上是我自己的翻译,也许不会太准确,我能保证也不会偏离作者的意思太远,不至于误导各位,谢谢观看。
本章介绍本书的结构分为三个部分。
1、作者的原则来源
雷达利奥先生一句话概括:统统来源于各种他犯的错误。而且他建议大家可以跳过这一章,但是如果你想完整理解下面2、3章节的内容,建议你还是读本章,这样你能更好的理解作者为什么提炼了这样的原则,有助于你体会这样做的原因,有助于你理解作者的原则的优劣。
2、生活原则
作者解释首先介绍生活原则,因为他觉得生活原则比工作原则优先级要高,而且更具有普遍性,对绝大多数的人和事情都适用。而且作者提到他的五步法则来制定决策,我很期待,甚至迫不及待的想知道了,因为这可以马上应用到我的生活中,也为我解忧解惑。
3、工作原则
工作原则中作者将以桥水基金的实例来阐述原则是什么和应用情况。是不是很期待,因为我们可能借此窥豹一斑,能得以知道一些桥水基金的运作情况,相信可以学到很多。
作者在本章最后还有一个彩蛋,one more thing!那就是本书附带了一个app 和语音。
App包含应用程序可以模拟决策,可惜要买正版才支持哦。
另外语音的部分除了本书外,还包括经济和投资的原则书籍的内容。
难道在国内发行的书籍没有经济和投资的内容吗?那么我更期待能看到经济和投资原则的内容了。
接下来我会试着加快进度,因为每天一章似乎于我本人也没有满足我的好奇心,奈何时间总是有限,但我会想办法解决这一问题。办法总比困难多对吧。
特别注意:
cause-effect relationships==因果关系
walk the talk ==说到做到
