30岁之前要懂得30个人生道理(1)

6.When you get to know people with different ethnic backgrounds, from different cities and countries, who live at various socioeconomic levels, you begin to realize that everyone basically wants the same things.  They want validation, love, happiness, fulfillment and hopes for a better future.  The way they pursue these desires is where things branch off, but the fundamentals are the same.  You can relate to almost everyone everywhere if you look past the superficial facades that divide us.
6.当你认识来自不同民族、城市、国家和社会阶层的人之后，你才明白每个人的需求本质上都是一样的，那就是获得认可、爱情、幸福、满足和对未来的美好希望。尽管他们满足这些需求的方式各不相同，但实质却没有改变。当你透过表面看本质时，你就能把世界各地所有的人都联系到一起。

7.The more things you own, the more your things own you.  Less truly gives you more freedom.
7.拥有越多，限制越多。越少，自由越多。

8.While you’re busy looking for the perfect person, you’ll probably miss the imperfect person who could make you perfectly happy.  This is as true for friendships as it is for intimate relationships.  Finding a companion or a friend isn’t about trying to transform yourself into the perfect image of what you think they want.  It’s about being exactly who you are and then finding someone who appreciates that.
8.你总是在寻觅最好的那个人，却错过了身边能让你真正快乐的人，尽管他们可能没有那么好。友情、爱情都是如此。寻找伴侣也好、朋友也好，不是要把自己变成他们希望的样子，而是要保持真我，寻找那些能欣赏你的人。

9.Relationships must be chosen wisely.  It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company.  There’s no need to rush.  If something is meant to be, it will happen – in the right time, with the right person, and for the best reason.
9.择偶要慎重，宁缺毋滥。没有必要着急，该来的总归会来。缘分天注定，在对的时间遇到对的人。

10.Making a thousand friends is not a miracle.  A miracle is making one friend who will stand by your side when thousands are against you.
10.朋友遍天下没什么了不起，真正了不起的是，有那么一个朋友，当别人都弃你而去的时候还对你不离不弃。
