如果回到十八岁,我要对自己说……(4)
Travel, art, culture, sport, and adventure take on a whole new meaning when you have had some experience to build on. As you add layer upon layer, each experience is more rich than the last.
当你有所积累之后,旅行、艺术、文化、运动和冒险都会有一种不同的新面貌。你一层层的叠加起来,每种经验都会比上一次来的更加丰富。
Choose Experience over Material Possessions
比物质享受更重要的是经验
If you're ever faced with the choice of upgrading your lifestyle (an apartment by yourself, a new car, new clothes, etc.) or working less so you can experience more; chose the latter.
如果你面临这样的选择:改善你的生活(自己的公寓、一部新车、一套新衣服等等),或者是减少工作时间去经历更多的事情。那么我建议你选择后者。
When I was your age, I thought I needed to have nice stuff so girls would like me. I ended up working so hard to pay for the stuff that I didn't have time to meet girls.
当我在你那个年龄的时候,我曾认为只有拥有许多物质才能让女孩子喜欢我。于是我努力的为拥有物质去工作,结果却是因为我太忙而没有了时间去结识女孩子。
Working hard is for grown-ups. Be a kid for as long as you can, even if it means living with a roommate in a crappy apartment and riding your bike around town.
埋头工作是成年人的事情。尽可能延长和享受你的青春吧,即使这意味着你要和室友共享一个公寓,并且在镇上骑着自行车乱逛。
Besides, girls aren't going to like you for awhile anyway. What they really want is a man with a little confidence and life experience under his belt. Working too hard will just delay that process.
另外,女孩子们在那时候总归不会喜欢你的。她们真正想要的是一个有自信、有生活经验的男人。而埋头工作只会推迟这一天的来临。
Be Confident
要自信
Oh yeah, you might as well get a head start on your confidence. Believe in yourself no matter what. Don't let self-doubt ruin your chance to meet a new girl or to try something new.
是的,你要建立自信。不管是什么一定要相信自己。不要让自我怀疑毁了你去结识女孩子或者尝试新东西的机会。
