你不可不知的30个人生哲理（上）

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.
请慎重选择你的人际关系，宁缺毋滥。没有必要操之过急，不是不来，只是时候未到。相信你一定会在对的时间遇上对的人。

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.
有一千个朋友并不是什么了不起的事儿。真正了不起的是，有那么一个朋友，在其他人都背弃你的时候，始终站在你的身边支持你。

11. Someone will always be better looking. Someone will always be smarter. Someone will always be more charismatic. But they will never be you – with your exact ideas, knowledge and skills.
总会有人比你漂亮、比你聪明、比你有魅力。但是他们终究不是你，也同样不会拥有你独有的思想、知识和技能。

12. Making progress involves risk. Period. You can’t make it to second base with your foot on first.
前进的路上总会存在风险。这毋庸置疑。总不见得你脚还踩在一垒上就想着跑到二垒去吧。

13. Every morning you are faced with two choices: You can aimlessly stumble through the day not knowing what’s going to happen and simply react to events at a moment’s notice, or you can go through the day directing your own life and making your own decisions and destiny.
每天早上醒来你都有两个选择：一是碌碌无为、虚度光阴，等到事情迫在眉睫了才勉强去应对。而另一种选择是，把命运掌握在你自己的手里，你的人生你做主。

14. Everyone makes mistakes. If you can’t forgive others, don’t expect others to forgive you. To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you.
人无完人，是人都会犯错。你不去原谅别人的过错，凭什么奢望别人会原谅你？原谅，不仅仅是对他人的谅解，也是对自己的宽恕。

15. It’s okay to fall apart for a little while. You don’t always have to pretend to be strong, and there is no need to constantly prove that everything is going well. You shouldn’t be concerned with what other people are thinking either – cry if you need to – it’s healthy to shed your tears. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to smile again.
休息是为了走得更远，偶尔崩溃一下也未尝不可。不要总是假装自己很坚强，无谓地去证明一切都很好。也不必太在意别人的看法，想哭就哭，谁说流泪对身体不好呢？但记住，哭完了，请你继续微笑着面对人生。
