五位成功人士传授工作秘诀：冻结方案

　　Freeze the Design 冻结方案

　　Perfectionists can waste just as much time as procrastinators . Thomas R. Williams，former chairman of Wachovia Corporation，discovered that many young people in banking don't know when to stop researching a project and start wrapping it up. Those trainees could have learned something from engineers，who are taught to produce the best possible solution by a certain date. Even if a design is not perfect，they've done the best they could under deadline.

　　追求完美的人与那些爱拖延的人浪费的时间一样多。瓦霍维娅公司前董事长托马斯-R-威廉斯发现，许多在银行界工作的年轻人不知道什么时候该停止研究方案，什么时候该着手结束工作。那些接受培训的人倒应该向工程师学习一些东西，工程师们懂得，他们应在某一日期前拿出可能的最佳方案。即使方案不那么完美，但是他们已经在规定的期限内做了最大的努力。

　　Whenever you streamline a task or eliminate a hassle，you don't just save time. You make your life more pleasant. "Dost thou love life？"Benjamin Franklin once said. "Then do not squander time，for that's the stuff life is made of. "

　　每当你高效率地完成了一项工作或是解决了一个难题时，你不仅仅是节约了时间，而是在使你的生活更加快乐。本杰明-富兰克林曾经说过：“你热爱生命吗？那么就不要浪费时间，因为时间是组成生命的材料。”
