How to Be Interesting

How to Be Interesting这本书里，Jessica Hagy专门介绍怎么变得有趣。

1.如果你发现自己卡在那些流行却无聊的时尚泥潭里，好奇心将成为你的救命稻草。

If you find yourself drowning in the vat of popular but boring sludge, your curiosity will be your lifeline.

2.细分赛道越小，山寨党越拿你没招

The smaller the niche, the less room there is for copycats.

3.说具体的事，不要泛泛而谈

If you want to be interesting, work with specifics, not generics.

4.各种没用的零件拼成了鸭嘴兽，但它却蓬勃生长，还独一无二。别害怕自己拼凑出一套实用又独特的元素。

The platypus is a beast cobbled from seemingly leftover parts. Yet it thrives and it’s amazingly unique. Don’t be afraid to cobble together your own functional set of interesting assets.

5.捡回历史上被遗忘的故事。读旧书。听冷门音乐，让曾经的潮流再次流行。那些被忘掉的旧物里，也许就藏着你的最爱。

Revive forgotten stories. Read old books. Dust off forgotten trends. Listen to rare music. You might find your favorite thing hiding in the woodwork.

6.不要回应他们，也不要上挑衅者的当。要赢他们的游戏，唯一的方法就是不再配合。再说，没人会爱看你永无止境的烦躁。

Don’t return their calls or take their antagonistic bait. The only way to win their game is to quit playing along. Besides, no one is fascinated by your constant irritation.

7.别等到明天。

马上去做，马上去说，马上实现。

Do not wait until tomorrow.
Say, do, or make it now. Go where you need to be.

8.把事物分解再组合。按下按钮，更改设置，看看各部分的配合。弄清楚其中的驱动原理，再体会有多少趣味。

Take things apart and put them back together. Push buttons. Change settings. See how the pieces fit. See what powers the engine. See how interesting it all is.

9.明白巧合、机会、系统机制（对，也许还有运气）在世界上也起作用。

Acknowledge the roles coincidence, chance, systemic processes (and yes, maybe even luck), play in our world.

10.你要成为援手、顾问、助理，成为你遇见的每一个人的援手、顾问和助理。什么英雄也离不开这些角色。

To everyone you meet. Be the helper, the adviser, the assistant the hero cannot do without.
