TIME用投资心态花时间，生活就会不一样

 
 
怎样做才能不浪费时间？不如把它看作是一种投资，看看它有多少能带来回报。
 
Think of how stingy you are with your money: if someone on the street asks for $10, you're not giving it to them. There's no way you're giving a 30% tip for a normal dining experience. And so on.
 
想想你在花钱上是多么的吝啬，如果有人在街上问你要10美元，你是不会给的。普通的一顿饭要收你30%的小费，那也是没门。诸如此类的事情还有不少。
 
And yet so many of us just waste ungodly amounts of our time. We throw it away, every day. I know I do unless I'm careful. What helps me to not waste time is to see it as an investment, and to keep track of the returns I get for my investment.
 
但是，我们大多数人都与挥霍的时间，浪费时间，天天如此。除非我们刻意找，或者我们明知在浪费时间还是这样做。怎样做才能不浪费时间？不如把它看作是一种投资，看看它有多少能带来回报。
 
This approach has led me to recognize that some things offer incredible immediate return on investment: a night spent learning a new song on my preferred instruments, for example, gives me a lifetime of being able to play that song. That's an incredible return. Other investments are more like low-interest, high security, long-term investments: going to the gym, eating right, etc. Some, like reading good books, are kind of a combination of both.
 
在某些方面，我认为（投资时间）就会立即给你难以置信的回报。例如，花一个晚上的时间，在我最喜欢的乐器学习新的歌曲，那我以后的生活都会播弹这首歌曲。这是这样一个令人难以置信的回报。有许多在低利率，安全系数高，如长期投资：去健身房，健康饮食等。还有的，包括阅读有趣的书，算是两者的结合。

 
But many activities are worthless from an investment perspective: whatever benefit they seem to give doesn't last any longer than the activity itself."Price is what you pay. Value is what you get." - Warren Buffett. This applies to everything: money, relationships, time. Knowing this changes your life.
 
但也有不少从投资角度的活动是不值钱的，除了活动本身的价值，任何其他权益不会得到延续。“你付出的是价格，买来的是价值。“这是巴菲特的名言。其实对于于所有的东西，金钱，关系，时间都是这样的。懂得这些将改变你的生活。
