每日原则：把自己想象成一部在大机器里运转的小机器，并明白你有能力改变你的机器以实现更好的结果

每个人都有自己的目标。我把你实现目标的方式称为你的机器。它包括设计（必须做的事）和人（由谁来做这些必须做的事），这里说的人包括你自己以及帮助你的人。

例如，想象你的目标是一个军事目标：你要从敌人手中夺过一个山头。你的“机器”设计可能包含了两名侦察兵、两名狙击手、四名步兵，等等。尽管合理的设计必不可少，但这只是战斗的一半。同样重要的是，要将合适的人安排在这些位置上。为了完成各自的任务，他们需要拥有不同的特性：侦察兵必须跑得快，狙击手必须射得准。这样，这部机器才能创造出你想要的结果。

You have your goals. I call the way you will operate to achieve your goals your machine. It consists of a design (the things that have to get done) and the people (who will do the things that need getting done). 

Those people include you and those who help you. For example, imagine that your goal is a military one: to take a hill from an enemy. Your design for your “machine” might include two scouts, two snipers, four infantrymen, and so on. While the right design is essential, it is only half the battle. It is equally important to put the right people in each of those positions. They need different qualities to do their jobs well—the scouts must be fast runners, the snipers must be good marksmen—so that the machine will produce the outcomes you seek.
