想要做好生意，必須會問這個字 139-141
The "why" identifies the real motivation.
Once you pinpoint the motivator, you will know exactly how to close the deal.
The moment you offer to have it gift-wrapped, inquire if he'll be charging the watch to his AmEx or Visa, it's extremely unlikely he'll attempt to negotiate the price again.
生字:
motivation / n.動機
pinpoint / v. 精準地確定(範圍、程度、位置和性質)
attempt to / v. 試圖做
讓我值得聯想思考:
做生意要懂得問為什麼?
因為人們的渴求是為了解決問題，
你幫助他解決問題，
那他自然願意支付錢給你。
那學習呢?
我學習的動機是什麼呢?
把妹秘笈－掌握布萊得．彼特法則 134-138
When you ask a gal out and she says no, it's time to employ the Brad Pitt rule to figure out whether or not you should keep pursuing her.
Now, imagine that instead of you, Brad Pitt had asked this same dame out.
Would she use the same excuses with him?
Of course not!
What if she has a legitimate excuse, like a funeral? She can't skip that.
If she has an excuse but suggests a different time and date, then she's probably into you.
Sounds promising, Bill. Why don't you ask her out, and we can see the Brad Pitt rule in action.
生字:
employ / v.運用
instead of / 而不是
legitimate / adj. 正當合理的；合法的
promising / adj. 很有希望的；大有前途的

My guilty pleasure is probably Oreos; for some reason, I can binge on these things for days.
I'm an extremely disorganized person, and I also tend to procrastinate a lot.
I'm a person who tends to like change rather than doing the same thing over and over again;
for some reason, consistency gets boring.
binge on / v.大吃大喝
disorganized / adj.雜亂無章的、無條理的
procrastinate / v. 拖延
愛的最終章 125-131
I wasn't exactly close to her, but with some superficial facts and a few interactions over a semester,you know (like most guys, fantasizing over a girl they barely know),I filled in the blanks like a fairytale author.
And who she became in my head was probably more than the reality.
And while she turned me down nicely, I swear there were times when it seemed like the cliche sorority girl may have felt something for the typical, awkward freshman.
It's a bit unfair because she embodies the combination of both love and youth.
We shared these three elements together and things like our first kiss, late-night sneaking-out and matinee movies,all of which now have become a nostalgic love, preserved in a time that neither of us can touch but know is there.
What a waste if we don't strive to love in our lives. She made me understand why.
You are who I love: the girl on the pedestal, the fantasy, the make-believe things that are actually true.
生字:
superficial / adj. 膚淺的，淺薄的
embody/ v. 具體表達、體現
sorority / n. 姐妹會
nostalgic / adj. 懷舊的
on the pedestal / 在...基礎上
strive / v.努力奮鬥
我最愛的一段話:
She told me after she was diagnosed that death was not what saddened her the most,but the fact that she never really felt like she had fallen in love.
She wouldn't get to have those emotions, good and bad, of being hurt, and of being held.
After she passed, those words stuck with me the most, teaching me to see that one of the greatest gifts we have of being alive is the ability to give, receive, and even lose love.
What a waste if we don't strive to love in our lives.
