What is the best habit you've taken up from another person?

你從他人身上學到的最好的習慣是什么？

I was sitting in the lunch room playing speed chess with another developer one day when the CEO of our company walked in.

一天我和另一位開發(fā)者在餐廳一起下國際象棋時，我們公司的CEO走了進來

To my surprise, he said, "Hey guys, mind if I play winner?"

出乎我意料的是，他說，“你們好，待會可以讓我和贏家PK一下嗎？”

Despite the insane demands of his job, he was actually pretty good at chess.

盡管他工作的內(nèi)容那么多，但是他其實挺擅長玩國際象棋的

When I asked him how he found time to keep his skills sharp, he said, "Oh, I don't. I only play once or twice a year. My uncle was a competitive chess player, and he just gave me a single piece of advice to follow:every time your opponent moves, slow down and try to understand the game from their perspective - why did they make that move?"

當我問他，如何找空閑時間保持自己的玩象棋的水平的，他說，哦，并沒有，我一年只玩一到兩次，我舅舅經(jīng)常參加國際象棋的比賽，他給過我一條建議，每次你的對手挪動一步時，放慢速度，試著分析為什么他們會走這一步來看待全局。

I've since made a habit of doing this. And this habit has helped in negotiations and other adversarial situations as well.

從此，我也開始養(yǎng)成這種習慣，這個習慣同樣也幫助我和其他人談判和協(xié)商等等。
