今天读完了最后的部分。最后一章虽然是老生常谈，但是确实是真理：

1. 长久的坚持

The people who get what they’re after are very often the ones who just stick around long enough.

2. 不断学习新事物

When you feel like you’ve learned whatever there is to learn from what you’re doing, it is time to change course and find someting new to learn so that you can move forward. You can’t be content with mastery; you have to push yourself to become a student again.

3. 学会给自己放假

也许你不能像有些人，可以有一年或者几个个月的长假，但是依然要学会从工作中的解放，让大脑有片刻的放松和休息。

We can all take practical sabbaticals-daily, weekly, or monthly breaks where we walk away form our world completely.
