今天看到Quora的邮件推荐:What advice would you give to your 18 year old self ? 开始的时候还以为是一味鸡汤,仔细看,其实是一个人对自己人生的回顾。再深入阅读,深以为然。乃翻译之。
1.You spend too much time with your friends. Spend some more. Because true friends are hard to come by.
你花了太多时间和朋友们在一起。你应该与其中的一些朋友花多一点时间,因为知己难寻。
2. You worry too much. Don't.
你担忧过多。没必要。
3.You sleep too much and read too less. Do the opposite.
The more that you read , the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you will go. Said Dr. Seuss
你睡得太多,阅读太少。应该反过来。
4.You make a lot of mistakes. But don't worry - they are the most valuable life lessons.
你犯了很多错。但是,别慌张,它们都是有价值的人生教训。
5.You underestimate yourself. Don't.
你低估了自己。别。
6.You plan too ahead into the future. Don't. Better utilize that time working on your strengths and weaknesses.
Plans more than 2-3 years down the line rarely materialize.
你对未来的打算太远。别。最好把时间花在取长补短之中来。
超过2-3年的目标,一般都很难实现。
7.Click more photographs. But don't let that come into the way of you enjoying your holidays.
浏览更多的照片。但是,千万别让这些照片影响你的假期。
8.Do the things you love, not the things you have to.
做你热爱之事,而非不得已之事。
9.Be a little more pro-active during school and college days.
在学校的日子里,主动点。
10.Try new things. Everyday, if possible.
Do not give up even without trying.
尝新。如果可能,每日如此。
未经尝试,请勿放弃。
你会给从前18岁的自己什么建议?一言难尽。
