如果回到十八岁,我要对自己说……(9)
There's No Rush to Have it All Figured Out
不要急着给自己的人生定义
When I was your age, I felt pressure to have my life's purpose figured out. I think a lot of young people think there's something wrong with them if they haven't “found themselves” by age 22.
我在你那个年龄的时候,我总是有一种要把人生全部规划好的压力。我想许多年轻人也都如此,如果他们没有在22岁之前“找到人生的架构”的话会觉得不正常。
Most people don't figure things out until much later in life (if at all). That's what your twenties are for: exploring different paths, making mistakes, falling on your face, and building your character.
大多数的人都是很多年之后才真正找到了人生的方向。而你的二十几岁应该去探索不同的路、犯错误、丢脸以及塑造自己的个性。
Take your time figuring it all out. You don't want to rush such a grand decision as your life's purpose.
慢慢的来规划自己的人生吧。这样的人生大事,你可不能急匆匆的下决定啊。
Savor the Moment
咀嚼时光
Experience the textures, sights, sounds, and feelings of each moment. Time moves faster than you think. Your youth is special and you'll want to remember it for the rest of your life.
去体验触觉、视觉、听觉,去感受每一刻。时间消逝的速度超乎你的想像。每一个青春都是特别的,而你会希望它值得在余生中被铭记。
Start Businesses Without Borrowing Money
创业 但不要借债
When you decide to start a business, don't go into debt over it. Most businesses fail, and it's better to be left with nothing than to not have anything and still owe someone else money.
当你决定创业的时候,不要借贷。大多数创业会失败,这时,一无所有总比什么都没有还一屁股债有利吧。
Pick a business that doesn't cost much to start and grow slowly, reinvesting your earnings.
选择一个入门成本不太大的事业来做,并且一步一步成长,把收益再度投资。
