我之前写过，智慧和聪明的区别。

「智慧」是道，容易懂但不容易做。甚至可以说，如果你经常给自己的孩子读绘本，你都不需要再额外读别的关于智慧的书。

所以尼采才会说：「No one can build you the bridge on which you, and only you, must cross the river of life.」

KK 的这本书叫做《Excellent Advice for Living: Wisdom I Wish I’d Known Earlier》，最初是他在 68 岁生日时为自己的孩子们列出的一些「希望自己早点儿知道的关于智慧」的建议。因为孩子们感受很好并且每年都希望他给出更多的建议，所以多年下来最后集结成册。

国内中信找 XDash 翻译了一本，好像还没上。

我在里面看到最多的是关于善良、慷慨和慈悲。

比如：

Whenever you have a choice between being right or being kind, be kind. No exceptions. Don’t confuse kindness with weakness.

Treating a person to a meal never failsand is so easy to do.

再比如：

How to apologize: quickly, specifically, sincerely. Don’t ruin an apology with an excuse.

A proper apology consists of conveying the 3 Rs: regret (genuine empathy with the other) responsibility (not blaming someone else) and remedy (your willingness to fix it).

这里的 3R 很有实操性。

When you forgive others they may not notice but you will heal. Forgiveness is not something we do for others; it is a gift to ourselves.

Forgiveness is accepting the apology you will never get.

还有一些跟日常有关的：

Listening well is a superpower. While listening to someone you love keep asking them “Is there more?” until there is no more.

Habit is far more dependable than inspiration. Make progress by making habits. Don’t focus on getting into shape. Focus on becoming the kind of person who never misses a workout.

Keep showing up. 99% of success is just showing up. In fact, most success is just persistence.

If you are the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room. Hang out with, and learn from people smarter than yourself. Even better, find smart people who will disagree with you.

Criticize in private, praise in public.

怎么说呢，很适合放一本在手边，没事儿的时候翻一翻，三省吾身：
