1. Never say "but."
不要說“但是” 。

"A very smart woman I worked with once told me that if I eliminated the word 'but' from my professional vocabulary, I'd find greater acceptance for my ideas, and greater cooperation from my team members... The word 'but' negates everything that precedes it, and you cast a negative spin on anything you say when you use it... 'But' is exclusive and isolating; 'and' is inclusive and welcoming." —Quora user Marsha Browne
“和我一起工作的一位非常聰明的女士曾經告訴我，如果我把’但是’這個詞從我的工作用語中去掉，那我的想法被別人接受的概率會更高，我的團隊成員間的合作程度也會更好……‘但是’這個詞把它之前的內容都否定了，當你用它的時候，你說的話都蒙上了消極的色彩……“但是”是排外的和孤立的；“并且”是包容的、受歡迎的。”——Quora用戶布朗
