序言：用原则来丈量你的世界//Introduction: to measure your world in your own principle
最近特别流行的《原则》这本书到底讲了什么
what is the popular book 《principle》talking about？
《原则》这本书的作者是美国桥水联合基金创始人Ray Dalio，他在书中详细向世人阐述了自己多年以来工作、生活的根本原则，可以说桥水联合基金所获得的成功，都是得益于作者遵循了这些原则，更可以说作者从创建并管理桥水联合基金的过程中总结出了这些让他更加成功的原则，这是作者实现理想的一套方法。
The author of the book 《principle》is Ray Dalio, the founder of the American bridge water fund. In the book, he elaborates the fundamental principles of his work and life for many years. On one hand, the success of the fund benefits from following these principles, on the other hand, Ray summarizes these principles which makes him more successful from the process of managing bridge water fund. Of course, these are all what he achieves his dream.
桥水联合基金成立于1975年，目前管理的资金超过1500亿美元，员工超过1000人，其创始人雷蒙德·达里奥在长达40年的时间里为其投资者创造了巨大的财富，截至2015年年底，桥水联合基金累计盈利450亿美元，超越金融大鳄索罗斯的量子基金，成为全球范围内最赚钱的基金。
Water bridge fund was established in 1975, which has more than 150 billion dollars, and more than 1000 employees. As his founder, Ray Dalio has created huge wealth for its investors in the past 40 years. By the end of 2015, water bridge has got profit of $45 billion, which beyond the big crocodile soros's quantum, and has become the most profitable fund in the world.
原则是什么？
what are the principles？
Ray说原则是一套能够在相同，或者相似情况下被反复套用的概念、方法。我觉得原则，可以是为自己制定的行之有效的健身规则，可以是每天早睡早起的生活准则，更可以是为人处世的一些底线。原则可以很具体，也可以很宽泛，只要对自己的生活、工作有所帮助，只要对大众没有害处，都可以作为自己的原则。进一步讲，学习牛人的原则，这本身就是一套普通人应该遵守的原则。
Ray says, the principles is a set of concepts that can be reused in the same or similar situations. I think, the principle can be your effective fitness rules, can be your daily standard of early sleep and early getting up, and can also be the bottom line of life.The principle can be very specific , also can be very widely. As long as, it is helpful to your life and work and not harmful to the public, all can be our own principles.
Furthermore, the principle of learning from the cow is itself a principle that our common people should abide by.
原则为什么这么重要？
why are principles important?
曾几何时，遇到教训，我们信誓旦旦，一定要牢记，可历史不会重演却总是惊人的相似，多少次都掉进几乎相同的坑。
Once upon a time, we had remembered ouselves what we've experienced. However, history does not repeat but is always a striking similarity, which makes us fall into almost the same pit.
曾几何时，做某事成功后，我们得意忘形，而没有总结出经验，过后只能将这些归为幸运，对未来依旧没什么帮助。
Once upon a time, when we succeeded in doing somethin, but we are too happy to summarizing our experience. Then what we've experienced is just lucky enough, and can not be repeated.
成功的人都有他们成功的一套原则，这其中当然既包括做事成功的原则，也包含避免走弯路的原则。如果没有原则，过去的成功或者失败似乎也将失去意义，
Successful people have their own principles for success, which, of course, includes both the principles of success and the principles of avoiding failure. Without principles, the success or failure of the past seem to be nonthing.
原则来源何处？
where the principles come from?
聪明的人，他们一方面从自己的行为中不断总结自己的处事原则，一方面学习汲取他人的处事原则，另一方面通过自己的行动不断更正、优化自己的处事原则。
On one hand, smart people can form his own principles by continuouly review his own behavior, on the other hand, they also get principles from learning from others. Of course, they will constanly correct and optimize the principles they get.
你有自己的原则吗？
Do you have your own principles？
到目前为止，我还没有自己的原则体系。只是会时不时地总结过去生活、工作中的一些经验或者教训，但是这些经验或者教训都是零散地分散在各处，时间长了还都会忘记，对今后定然没什么帮助。
So far, I don't have my system of my principles. Though, I have had summerized some exprience or lessons of my life and work, they are scattered, forgetable, and won't be helpful for the future.
Ray 这本书给我们提供了一个很好的思路，无论是自己的教训，还是他人的经验，只要对自己有益，只要今后可能多次用到，那么都值得我们将其上升到原则的高度，打磨成趁手的兵器，来帮助我们更好地生活、实现理想。
The book 《principles,》 provide us with a very good idea. No matter where they come from, as long as they are good for ourselves, and can be reused in the future, it is worth to make it being principles to help us better and realize dreams.
未来的打算
what the future will be like?
虽然目前自己还并未取得成功，但正是如此，才更要好好打磨自己的原则体系，让其帮助自己加快成功的步伐。今天的这篇文章只算个序言，来开启“我的原则”这本书的序幕，开启用原则丈量工作、生活的序幕。
I am not successful for the moment. Just for that reason, I should sharpen my system of principles to help me speed up success. Today's post is only a preface to start the book of "My principles", with which I will measure my life and work.
随着自己积累的经验/教训的增多，随着自己向其他人学习的深入，也随着自己持续的践行，我会不断总结自己的原则，并将其用简洁的文字表达出来，多年以后，我也期待拥有自己的《原则》。
With the accumulated experiences/lessons, with the depth of learning form others, with my constant practice, I will sum up my own principles, and elabrate them in simple words, expecting to have my own book : 《principles》.
