If someone asked you to sum up in six words what you've learned so far about how to succeed in business, what would you say?

A sampling of the winners:
如何才能在職場獲得成功？如果有人要你用短短一句話來總結(jié)，你會怎么說？去年，史密斯雜志（Smith magazine）和美世咨詢公司（Mercer）把這個問題拋給了公眾，結(jié)果收到了數(shù)以千計(jì)的反饋。他們從中遴選出了400條，并集結(jié)成冊，取名《職場6字真言》，其中包括以下一些金句：
"Always start with assuming good intentions."
“勿以小人之心度人。”
"Don't hire geniuses, hire capable people."
“舍天才，取良才。”
"Persistence has more value than qualifications."
“執(zhí)著勝于資歷。”
"Work like you own the company."
“做公司主人翁。”
"Need the facts? Ask a secretary!"
“要數(shù)據(jù)？找秘書！”
"Know security guards, cleaners by name."
記住保安和保潔的名字。”
"You're not learning if you're comfortable."
“安逸使人落后。”
"Do one more thing than requested."
“做事想在對方前面。”
"Screw-ups will happen. Just own them."
“見怪不怪，其怪自敗。”

“聰明反被聰明誤。”
"Walk the hall rather than call."
“多走動，少電聯(lián)。”
"Add value — otherwise you're a commodity."
“不斷自我增值。”
"If you don't know, say so."
“不知為不知。”

“要撒野，去外面。”
"Surprise your spouse, not your boss."

"Don't laugh while boss is ranting."
“老板咆哮別發(fā)笑。”
And speaking of bosses, how about a 42-word crash course in how to be a great one? Consider these descriptions of "the best boss I ever had."
想成為卓越的老板嗎？那就繼續(xù)往下看吧！下面短短幾句話的描述簡直可以作為卓越領(lǐng)袖的速成教材。看看這些人何評論他們“曾經(jīng)遇到過的最好的老板”。
