When you know more, you do better. When you're young, it's hard to do better when you don't know better. It takes years of mistakes and different experiences for people to really know what's best for them. That's why you always hear people talk about getting older and wiser — wisdom generally comes with the passage of time.
你知道得越多,做得越好。年輕的時候,很難把事情做得很好,因為你知道得不夠多。要想知道到底什么最適合自己,就需要多年不同的經(jīng)驗積累和不斷地從錯誤中學(xué)習(xí)。這就是為什么人們總是說,越老越智慧。智慧往往需要經(jīng)過時間的積淀。

1. Be Good to Others: Keeping your word, being kind to others, and nurturing relationships is everything in the long run.
善待他人:信守承諾,善待他人。從長遠來看,培養(yǎng)人際關(guān)系就是一切。

2. What Progress Means: Taking on a task and creating the best solution you can is progress.
進步的意義:接受任務(wù),完美應(yīng)對,這就是進步。

3. Honesty Is the Best Policy: Tell the truth to everybody. Make personal integrity your mission.
誠實最重要:對所有人都講真話。把誠實作為自己的目標。

4. Don't Stop Your Growth: Don't stop thinking and keep on learning. Find things you're passionate about. Try new things constantly. Comfort zones are the same as a jail cell.
不斷成長:不要停止思考,學(xué)無止境。發(fā)現(xiàn)你感興趣的事情,不斷嘗試新鮮事物。舒適區(qū)無異于一座監(jiān)獄。

5. Learn From the Best: Approach older people you admire and ask them if they would agree to be your mentors. You'd be surprised.
向強者學(xué)習(xí):和你尊敬的年長者打交道,問問他們是否愿意當你的導(dǎo)師。你會有驚喜的。

6. You're Worth It: You are worth as much as you think you are.
你值得擁有:你覺得自己有多少價值,你就有多少價值。

7. Be Realistic: Don't set unrealistic expectations for others or yourself and work to ensure expectations are clear.
現(xiàn)實點:不要給自己或別人定下不切實際的目標。努力讓期望變得明確些。

8. A Different Person: Realize you will be a very different person when you're 45 than you were at 25.
時間是把殺豬刀:承認吧,25歲的你和45歲的你是不一樣的。

9. Do Your Best: Be sure any work you produce with your name on it is the best you've got; it's a reflection of who you are.
竭盡全力:要讓每件寫有你名字的事情都做到最好,從中能看出你是什么樣的人。

10. You Only Live Once: Don't put off plans to do something crazy.
生命只有一次:不要推遲那些瘋狂的計劃。

11. Be Yourself: Don't let the expectations of others define you.
做自己:別讓別人的期望來決定你是誰。

12. Remember Names: Learn people's names and use them often when you talk to them.
記住人名:記住別人的名字,每次和他們說話的時候,都要叫他們的名字。

13. Be Cautious: Keep your mouth shut around anyone you don't trust or know.
謹言慎行:在你不信任或者不熟悉的人面前,閉上嘴。

14. Be Brave: When something scares you, don't forget: everyone else is just as scared as you are.
勇敢一點:當你害怕的時候,不要忘了,其他人也跟你一樣害怕。

15. No Regrets: Don't live with regrets. You can learn from everything that happens in your life and you often learn the most from the bad things.
不后悔:不要讓后悔伴你一生。生活能讓你學(xué)到一切,而壞事往往能讓你學(xué)到最多。
