如果回到十八岁,我要对自己说……(10)
Choose a business that's as passive as possible. Bulk vending is a good one to start with while you're young.
选择的业务越稳定越好。在你年轻的时候,散装销售会是一个好的开始。
Stay away from services. I made the mistake when I was your age of starting a T-shirt design service. The problem with services is that you have to re-create your work if you want to get paid again. Find something that pays you over and over for work done once.
不要涉入服务行业。当我年轻的时候,我做了个错误的决定——提供T恤设计的服务。服务行业的问题在于如果你想再次获利就必须再度劳动。去找一些做一次工作却能不断收钱的事情吧。
Pick Something and Stick With It
选择并坚持一件事情
Once you've had your fun traveling the world and being young, find a line of work that you are passionate about. Don't worry about the money, that will come with time. As long as you are out of debt and putting money into savings each month, you're going to be just fine.
当你周游列国之后,趁年轻你应该选择一份你对它很有热情的工作。不要为钱财担忧,时间到了面包总是会有的。只要你没有债务而且定期储蓄的话,你就不会有问题的。
Don't get into the habit of changing your mind all the time. Each time you change course, you lose all your start-up energy. Learn how exponential growth can affect your level of success in your chosen field.
不要养成经常改变主意的习惯。每一次你改变方向,那些前期工作都白费了。要知道,不懈的努力和持续的发展可以在你选择的领域里影响你成功的程度。
If you are passionate about what you do, and stick with it, you can't help but be successful.
如果你热衷你所作的事情并且能够持之以恒,那么你一定能够成功。
Back to Reality…
回到现实……
It's fun to think about what might have been, but in reality, we can't change the past. Ten years from now, I'll have a whole new list of things I wish I knew in my 30's. I would do well to take my own advice, and enjoy each moment.
想像“如果”是个很有趣的事情,但事实上,谁都不能改变历史。十年后,我会有一个新的单子,写满那些“我三十岁时应该知道的事情”。我会认真的作每一个决定,享受每一分钟。
