“Put yourself, and your work, out there every day, and you’ll start meeting some amazing people.”
—Bobby Solomon
Overnight success is a myth. Dig into almost every overnight success story and you’ll find about a decade’s worth of hard work and perseverance. Building a substantial body of work takes a long time—a lifetime, really—but thankfully, you don’t need that time all in one big chunk. So forget about decades, forget about years, and forget about months. Focus on days.

一夜成名的故事背后，都是一直不断的坚持创作的过程。但是每天创作就行了。不用想那么久。
The day is the only unit of time that I can really get my head around. Seasons change, weeks are completely human-made, but the day has a rhythm. The sun goes up; the sun goes down. I can handle that.

get my head around: 理解，接受：努力理解或接受某事物，尤其是复杂或困难的事物。

感受
搞清楚当前一天的工作就ok了。
Once a day, after you’ve done your day’s work, go back to your documentation and find one little piece of your process that you can share. Where you are in your process will determine what that piece is. If you’re in the very early stages, share your influences and what’s inspiring you. If you’re in the middle of executing a project, write about your methods or share works in progress. If you’ve just completed a project, show the final product, share scraps from the cutting-room floor, or write about what you learned. If you have lots of projects out into the world, you can report on how they’re doing—you can tell stories about how people are interacting with your work.
Words & phrases
cutting-room: （电影）剪接室
Her scene ended up on the cutting room floor.
她的镜头最后被剪掉了。
感受
每天的工作做完之后，找一些piece分享。
如果在工作早期，分享是什么激励了你；
如果是项目中期，分享一些方法和过程性工作；
如果刚刚完成一个项目，分享最后的成品；分享片段或者学习成长的内容；
如果有很多项目，就报道一下他们在做什么，告诉一下人们如何能够和你取得连接。
A daily dispatch is even better than a résumé or a portfolio, because it shows what we’re working on right now. When the artist Ze Frank was interviewing job candidates, he complained, “When I ask them to show me work, they show me things from school, or from another job, but I’m more interested in what they did last weekend.” A good daily dispatch is like getting all the DVD extras before a movie comes out—you get to watch deleted scenes and listen to director’s commentary while the movie is being made.
Words & phrases
portfolio

每天发布要比什么简历或者作品集更好，因为能够实时告诉别人你在做什么。实况报道，更有趣！更有意义！更让人喜欢。
The form of what you share doesn’t matter. Your daily dispatch can be anything you want—a blog post, an email, a tweet, a YouTube video, or some other little bit of media. There’s no one-size-fits-all plan for everybody.
Words & phrases
one-size-fits-all: adj.通用的
When education becomes one-size-fits-all, it risks overlooking a nation's diversity of gifts.
当教育变得一刀切时，它会面临着忽视一个国家的天赋多样性所带来的风险。
感受
分享的形式无所谓！日程发布可以是任何形式，没有一个适用于所有人的通用计划。
Social media sites are the perfect place to share daily updates. Don’t worry about being on every platform; pick and choose based on what you do and the people you’re trying to reach. Filmmakers hang out on YouTube or Vimeo. Businesspeople, for some strange reason, love LinkedIn. Writers love Twitter. Visual artists tend to like Tumblr, Instagram, or Facebook. The landscape is constantly changing, and new platforms are always popping up . . . and disappearing.
Words & phrases
landscape is constantly changing: 环境在持续地变化；形势在不断变化
It's hard to stay ahead of the game in network security when the landscape is constantly changing.

As noted above, indifferent relationships may not always be the most helpful approach in resolving some of the issues that pop up at work.

感受
不要担心在所有平台分享。社交媒体是每天分享的绝佳场所。
Don’t be afraid to be an early adopter—jump on a new platform and see if there’s something interesting you can do with it. If you can’t find a good use for a platform, feel free to abandon it.

He’s followed by more than 30,000 people!

感受
不要怕成为新技术的应用者，好就用，不好就果断放弃！万一尝试的过程中发现了自己的兴趣呢！
A lot of social media is just about typing into boxes. What you type into the box often depends on the prompt. Facebook asks you to indulge yourself, with questions like “How are you feeling?” or “What’s on your mind?” Twitter’s is hardly better: “What’s happening?” I like the tagline at dribbble.com: “What are you working on?” Stick to that question and you’ll be good. Don’t show your lunch or your latte; show your work.
Words & phrases

感受
大多数社交每天都是在输入框里输入内容。你输入什么取决于输入框中提示的信息。持续坚持，你会变得越来越好！
Don’t worry about everything you post being perfect. Science fiction writer Theodore Sturgeon once said that 90 percent of everything is crap. The same is true of our own work. The trouble is, we don’t always know what’s good and what sucks.That’s why it’s important to get things in front of others and see how they react. “Sometimes you don’t always know what you’ve got,” says artist Wayne White. “It really does need a little social chemistry to make it show itself to you sometimes.”
Words & phrases
crap
n.胡扯，废话；蹩脚货，废物；不公正的待遇；粪便，屎；拉屎；双骰子赌博游戏（同 craps）；（在双骰子赌博戏中）输去赌注的一掷（掷出2, 3或12点）

她后来说这本书“狗屎不如”。
sucks: <非正式>糟糕，差劲；
it sucks(烂透了)
感受
不要怕不完美，有时候我们也不知道什么是好的，什么是糟糕的。但是大多数都是糟糕的，所以不要怕。就是因为不知道，所以它真的需要一点社会化学反应才能让你看到它。
Don’t say you don’t have enough time. We’re all busy, but we all get 24 hours a day. People often ask me, “How do you find the time for all this?” And I answer, “I look for it.” You find time the same place you find spare change: in the nooks and crannies. You find it in the cracks between the big stuff—your commute, your lunch break, the few hours after your kids go to bed. You might have to miss an episode of your favorite TV show, you might have to miss an hour of sleep, but you can find the time if you look for it. I like to work while the world is sleeping, and share while the world is at work.

感受
不要说自己没时间，我们都很忙。都是一天24小时。重点是你要学会去找时间，就像空隙中的零钱。你可以在大块的事务中找到零碎的时间。你可能会错过很多大块的时间，但是你一定能找到一些时间。

Always remember that anything you post to the Internet has now become public. “The Internet is a copy machine,” writes author Kevin Kelly. “Once anything that can be copied is brought into contact with the Internet, it will be copied, and those copies never leave.” Ideally, you want the work you post online to be copied and spread to every corner of the Internet, so don’t post things online that you’re not ready for everyone in the world to see. As publicist Lauren Cerand says, “Post as though everyone who can read it has the power to fire you.”
Words & phrases
ideally adv.理想地；观念上地
People should, ideally, be persuaded to eat a diet with much less fat or oil.
理想的做法是应该说服人们吃更低脂肪或更低油脂的食品。

Words & phrases

The instructor writes an important term on the chalkboard, and you dutifully copy it in your notebook.

If you’re unsure about whether to share something, let it sit for 24 hours. Put it in a drawer and walk out the door. The next day, take it out and look at it with fresh eyes. Ask yourself, “Is this helpful? Is it entertaining? Is it something I’d be comfortable with my boss or my mother seeing?” There’s nothing wrong with saving things for later. The save as draft button is like a prophylactic—it might not feel as good in the moment, but you’ll be glad you used it in the morning.
Words & phrases
Run your program through a test case and let it exit.

“If you work on something a little bit every day, you end up with something that is massive.”
—Kenneth Goldsmith
每天一点点，你会发现，终有一天你会有非常非常多！
“Stock and flow” is an economic concept that writer Robin Sloan has adapted into a metaphor for media: “Flow is the feed. It’s the posts and the tweets. It’s the stream of daily and sub-daily updates that remind people you exist. Stock is the durable stuff. It’s the content you produce that’s as interesting in two months (or two years) as it is today. It’s what people discover via search. It’s what spreads slowly but surely, building fans over time.” Sloan says the magic formula is to maintain your flow while working on your stock in the background.
Words & phrases
Stock and flow 存量与流量：存量是指在某一特定时间点上的累积量，而流量是指在一段时间内的变化量。存量和流量是经济学、物流和其他领域中常用的概念。
The relationship between stock and flow is crucial for understanding the dynamics of a system.
理解存量与流量之间的关系对于理解系统的动态变化至关重要。

这个比喻很贴切。

n.哺乳，喂养；动物的饲料，植物的肥料；（机器的）进料装置；（机器、设备的）原料供给；（卫星或网络）转播，（信号）传输；（计算机）订阅源；（给舞台演员的）提词，提白；<非正式>丰盛的一餐

The subdaily fluctuations in temperature can affect plant growth.
每天内的温度波动会影响植物生长。
感受
保持流量，积累存量！存量是你生产的，一直有价值的东西，它随着时间给你带来朋友；流量是反馈，是提醒你的朋友，你还存在。 这段说的真好！
In my experience, your stock is best made by collecting, organizing, and expanding upon your flow. Social media sites function a lot like public notebooks—they’re places where we think out loud, let other people think back at us, then hopefully think some more. But the thing about keeping notebooks is that you have to revisit them in order to make the most out of them. You have to flip back through old ideas to see what you’ve been thinking. Once you make sharing part of your daily routine, you’ll notice themes and trends emerging in what you share. You’ll find patterns in your flow.
Words & phrases
function
n.功能，职责；宴会，典礼；函数，应变量；由其他事情造成的结果；子例行程序，子例程；官能团，功能团
v.工作，运转；行使职责，发挥功能

他做了一个翻跟头，完美地落在了双脚上。
感受
存量是通过收集、组织以及从流量扩展而来的。
但是保存笔记本的问题是你必须重新审视它们，以便最大限度地利用它们。你必须回顾一下以前的想法，看看你一直在想什么。一旦你分享你的日常，你将会从你分享的内容中注意到你的主题和趋势。你会发现你流量中的pattern。
这段也说的很赞！
When you detect these patterns, you can start gathering these bits and pieces and turn them into something bigger and more substantial. You can turn your flow into stock. For example, a lot of the ideas in this book started out as tweets, which then became blog posts, which then became book chapters. Small things, over time, can get big.
Words & phrases

当你侦察到这些模式的时候，你可以开始聚集这些零碎物品成一个更大更牢固的东西。 你可以把流量转换为存量：比如这本书里的许多idea都是从tweets中衍生出来的。慢慢变成了posts，最后变成了chapters，现在成了books。

Social networks are great, but they come and go. (Remember Myspace? Friendster? GeoCities?) If you’re really interested in sharing your work and expressing yourself, nothing beats owning your own space online, a place that you control, a place that no one can take away from you, a world headquarters where people can always find you.

More than 10 years ago, I staked my own little Internet claim and bought the domain name austinkleon.com. I was a complete amateur with no skills when I began building my website: It started off bare bones and ugly. Eventually, I figured out how to install a blog, and that changed everything. A blog is the ideal machine for turning flow into stock: One little blog post is nothing on its own, but publish a thousand blog posts over a decade, and it turns into your life’s work My blog has been my sketchbook, my studio, my gallery, my storefront, and my salon. Absolutely everything good that has happened in my career can be traced back to my blog. My books, my art shows, my speaking gigs, some of my best friendships—they all exist because I have my own little piece of turf on the Internet.

So, if you get one thing out of this book make it this: Go register a domain name. Buy www.[insert your name here].com. If your name is common, or you don’t like your name, come up with a pseudonym or an alias, and register that. Then buy some web hosting and build a website. (These things sound technical, but they’re really not—a few Google searches and some books from the library will show you the way.) If you don’t have the time or inclination to build your own site, there’s a small army of web designers ready to help you. Your website doesn’t have to look pretty; it just has to exist.

Don’t think of your website as a self-promotion machine, think of it as a self-invention machine. Online, you can become the person you really want to be. Fill your website with your work and your ideas and the stuff you care about. Over the years, you will be tempted to abandon it for the newest, shiniest social network. Don’t give in. Don’t let it fall into neglect. Think about it in the long term. Stick with it, maintain it, and let it change with you over time.

When she was young and starting out, Patti Smith got this advice from William Burroughs: “Build a good name. Keep your name clean. Don’t make compromises. Don’t worry about making a bunch of money or being successful. Be concerned with doing good work . . . and if you can build a good name, eventually that name will be its own currency.”
