This week, 37-year-old Marissa Mayer became CEO of Yahoo, an internet provider with many problems. A Silicon Valley veteran, Mayer became Google's 20th employee in 1999, after completing a Masters in Computer Science at Stanford University. She leaves Google after 13 years, having heading up its search team and, for the last two years, leading location and maps services. This year, she also joined the board of retail giant Wal-Mart.

現(xiàn)在，梅耶爾是科技界最強(qiáng)的女性之一，她時常分享自己的生活和工作哲理。如今，我們把梅耶爾的人生之道放在一起，看看究竟是什么幫助她到達(dá)巔峰的。

1. Push through your uncertainty.?"I always did something I was a little not ready to do. I think that's how you grow. When there's that moment of 'Wow, I'm not really sure I can do this,' and you push through those moments, that's when you have a breakthrough. "
1. 把不確定變?yōu)榇_定。“我總是做些自己沒怎么準(zhǔn)備好的事。我覺得這是一個人成長的方式。等到你說‘哇，我真不知道自己能不能做這個’的時候，你就用力往前沖，這就是突破?！?/div>

2. Protect what's really important to you.?"I have a theory that burnout is about resentment. And you beat it by knowing what it is you're giving up that makes you resentful. I tell people: Find your rhythm. Your rhythm is what matters to you so much that when you miss it you're resentful of your work...So find your rhythm, understand what makes you resentful, and protect it. You can't have everything you want, but you can have the things that really matter to you. And thinking that way empowers you to work really hard for a really long period of time."
2. 維護(hù)自己認(rèn)為重要的東西。“我有個理論，傾盡心力就會有怨念。如果你清楚自己是因?yàn)榉艞壎购?，那么你就可以消除這種情緒了。我告訴別人：找到自己的節(jié)奏。節(jié)奏很重要，如果遺失，你會對工作充滿怨念……所以，找到自己的節(jié)奏，知道是什么引起了你的怨恨，并且保護(hù)好自己的節(jié)奏。你不可能得到所有想要的，但可以擁有自認(rèn)為真正重要的。這樣想就能保持長時間努力工作的態(tài)勢了。”

3. Work with smart people.?"It's really wonderful to work in an environment with a lot of smart people. One, I think because it challenges you to think and work on a different level."
3. 和聰明人一起工作。“和一堆聰明人一起工作真是精彩紛呈。我認(rèn)為其中一個原因是，這樣的環(huán)境有助于你挑戰(zhàn)在不同層面上思考和工作?！?/div>

4. Keep some outside?perspective.?"I've always loved baking. I think it's because I'm very scientific. The best cooks are chemists... I'm a businesswoman first and foremost but my hobbies actually make me better at work. They help me come up with new and innovative ways of looking at things."
4. 從別的視角看待事物。“我總是很喜歡烘焙。我覺得原因是我很講究科學(xué)。最好的廚師是化學(xué)家……首先最重要的是，我是一個商人，但實(shí)際上我的愛好使我能更好地工作。那些愛好會使我產(chǎn)生新穎和創(chuàng)新的方式來看待事物?！?/div>

5. Work with a target customer in mind.?"I always put the user first when I get ideas pitched to me. I like to think of my mom and wonder if she would be able to get an idea right off the bat."
5. 把用戶放在第一位。“當(dāng)我在產(chǎn)品設(shè)計(jì)上有什么靈感的時候，總是最先考慮用戶需求。我想想自己的媽媽，她是不是會馬上理解設(shè)計(jì)師的用心?！?/div>

6. Set?constraints?to boost your creativity.?"People think of creativity as this sort of unbridled thing, but engineers thrive on constraints. They love to think their way out of that little box: We know you said it was impossible, but we're going to do this, this, and that to get us there."
6. 約束使人創(chuàng)意無限。“人們認(rèn)為創(chuàng)造力是無拘無束的，但工程師的創(chuàng)意卻因約束而旺盛。他們喜歡從一個狹小的角度出發(fā)，得到創(chuàng)意：你們要說這不可能，但我們是這樣做的，約束會使人創(chuàng)意無限?！?
