2.7Understandyour own and others’ mental maps and humility.
2.7 了解你自己和他人的心理地图和谦卑
Some people are good atknowing what to do on their own; they have good mental maps. Maybe theyacquired them from being taught; maybe they were blessed with an especiallylarge dose of common sense. Whatever the case, they have more answers insidethemselves than others do. Similarly, some people are more humble andopen-minded than others. Humility can be even more valuable than having goodmental maps if it leads you to seek out better answers than you could come upwith on your own. Having both open-mindedness and good mental maps is mostpowerful of all.
有些人很有自知之明；他们都有良好的心理地图。也许这些来自于教育；也许来自于特大剂量的常识。不论哪种情况，他们都有着比常人更多的答案。相似的，有些人则更加谦卑，开放。而谦卑比拥有好的心理地图更有价值，如果谦卑能带你找到更好的答案-而不是自己寻找。拥有开放的心态和好的心理状态是其中最有优势的。
To convey this simpleconcept, imagine rating from one to ten how good someone’s mental map is (inother words, what they know) on the Y-axis and how humble/open-minded they areon the X-axis, as shown on the opposite page.
便于理解这个简单地 概念，想象一个值域1-10的图表：y轴代表人的心理地图，x轴代表谦卑/开放心态，另一面显示。
Everyone starts out inthe lower left area, with poor mental maps and little open-mindedness, and mostpeople remain tragically and arrogantly stuck in that position. You can improveby either going up on the mental-maps axis (by learning how to do thingsbetter) or out on the open-mindedness axis. Either will provide you with betterknowledge of what to do. If you have good mental maps and low open-mindedness,that will be good but not great. You will still miss a lot that is of value.Similarly, if you have high open-mindedness but bad mental maps, you willprobably have challenges picking the right people and points of view to follow.The person who has good mental maps and a lot of open-mindedness will alwaysbeat out the person who doesn’t have both.
每个人都从左边靠下的区域开始，有着可怜的心理状态和一点点的开放心态值，大多数人依旧不幸和傲慢的待在这个区域。你可以通过在心理值（通过学习如何做的更好）上提升或者在开放心态上提升。两者都会提供给你更好的做事知识。如果你已经有了很好的心理状态值，而开放度不够，可能会不错但不够伟大。你就会错失大量有价值的部分。相似的，如果你有着较高的开放心态，但心理状态不佳，你可能需要尝试挑战跟随对的人和态度。而有着良好心理状态和大量开放心态的人将总是胜利者。
Now take a minute to think aboutyour path to becoming more effective. Where would you place yourself on thischart? Ask others where they’d place you.
Once you understand what you’remissing and gain open-mindedness that will allow you to get help from others,you’ll see that there’s virtually nothing you can’t accomplish.
Mostpeople fail to do this most of the time. In the next chapters, I’ll explore whyand how to rectify that.
现在花一分钟时间思考如何变得更有效率。你在图上的位置是？问问其他人会将你放在图上的位置。
一旦你理解了你错失的，开放的心态将帮助你从其他人哪里获得帮助，你会发现没什么是你做不到的。
大多数人都失败在这里。下一章，我将探讨为什么和怎样纠正他。
