Something stupid you can stick with will probably outperform something smart that you’ll burn out on.

坚持做一些看似愚蠢但能够长期坚持的事情，往往会比那些聪明却会让你耗尽精力的事情更有成效。

The investing strategy you should follow, research project you should undertake, or the book you should write doesn’t need to be related to what’s going on in the news. It doesn’t even need to be what’s likely to work the best.

你应该采用的投资策略、进行的研究项目或撰写的书籍，并不一定要与时事新闻有关，甚至也不需要是最有可能成功的方案。

It should just be whatever you’re interested in.

应该就是那些你感兴趣的事情。

If you view “do what you love” as a guide to a happier life, it sounds like empty fortune cookie advice. If you view it as the thing providing the endurance necessary to put the quantifiable odds of success in your favor, you realize it should be the most important part of any strategy.

如果你把“做你喜欢的事”看作追求幸福生活的指南，它听起来像是空洞的鸡汤语录。但如果你把它视为一种可以让你保持耐力，并将成功的几率提高的因素，那么你就会意识到，它应该是任何成功策略中最重要的组成部分。
