It is a mistake to hire huge numbers of people to get a complicated job done. Numbers will never compensate for talent in getting the right answer (two people who don't know something are no better than one), will tend to slow down progress, and will make the task incredibly expensive.
雇佣许多人去做一件复杂的事,往往是错误的。数量永远不如质量 (三个臭皮匠不一定比一个诸葛亮强),人多降低效率,增加成本。
The time of life is limited and unchangeable, so it is necessary to use every minute efficiently. Not using it well is a waste.
一件事情都不能做到有始有终,就不要去操持其他的事情;一物也不明白,就不要追求博闻广记。
