毕业后的生活这样过：给大学应届生的20个建议

11. Find the Subjects You Are Good At – You probably majored in something you were good at. Find a job that matches your passions and skills. By the way, this is also the work you will enjoy. That one choice will bring you much joy or frustration.
发现你的特长——你的专业很可能是你所擅长的。找一份能发挥你的激情和技能的工作。这样你就不会为工作所累。这个选择也意味着你以后的工作是带给你快乐还是沮丧。

12. Make Decisions – Living life is about making choices. Some are easy and some are hard. But, make sure you make your own decisions or life will make them for you.
做出决定——生命就是不断选择的过程。只不过有些选择是容易的，有些却很艰难。但是你必须自己做出决定，否则生活就会替你做主。

13. Have Goals & Write Them Down – There has an undercurrent lately, of advice stating that you shouldn’t have goals. These are the same people who don’t want to fail. Regularly write down your goals. Share them with those that you love.
有目标，并且写下来——最近有种声音建议人们不应该有目标。这是一群不愿意面对失败的人们。要经常写下你的目标，并与你爱的人一起分享。

14. Blaze Your Own Path – You don’t have to follow in anyone else’s footsteps. “That’s the way it has always been done” is a dangerous road-sign to follow on the road of life.
活出自己的特色——你没有必要跟随别人的脚步。“大家都是这样做的”，这种想法对于你的人生之路是一个危险的信号。

15. Always Be Learning – You may have just finished school, but don’t think you are done learning. This has never been more important. In just a few short years, there will be entirely new technologies and information that didn’t exist when you were in school.
活到老学到老——你可能已经完成学业，但这并不意味着你已经不用学习了。这在当今世界尤为重要。最近几年，你将会看到很多学校里没有的全新的技术和信息。

16. No One Ever Was Successful Sitting on the Couch – You have to take the first step in your own journey. That new job isn’t going to magically appear. That book isn’t going to write itself. And so on… so, put the remote down and leave the couch.
坐在沙发上永远不会成功——要启程你就必须先迈出第一步。新的工作不会奇迹般就出现。书也不会自己就写出来。等等，等等……因此，放下遥控器，离开沙发，开始努力。

17. Enjoy the Journey - Too many people think life is a destination. “When I get there… I will be successful.” Life is a trip. Enjoy the journey. There is an end point, but the point is not to get there.
享受过程——很多人认为生活就是目的。“当我到那里时，我就成功了。” 生命是一场旅行，要学会享受旅程。旅行总会有终点，但那并不是我们的目的。

18. Spend Your Time Wisely - As you get into the workplace you will find that you have less “free time” than when you were in school. When you have a family, you will have even more demands on your time.Remember that you have as much time in the day as everyone else, spend it wisely.
合理安排你的时间——当你进入职场以后，你会发现，和在学校相比你能自由支配的时间少了很多。有家庭以后，会占用你更多的时间。要记住，每一天你所拥有的时间都和别人一样多，合理安排你的时间。

19. Don’t Settle– Life is too short to settle in your job or in your relationships. You don’t have to work there. You don’t have to stay in a relationship.
不要太早安定下来——人生很短暂，不要太早就安定下来，无论是工作还是人际关系。你不一定非要在那里工作，也不一定非要处在那样的人际关系中。

20. Believe in Yourself – You have to be you biggest fan. In the workplace, no one is going care about your future more than you. Promote yourself where appropriate, and always believe in yourself even more than others do.
相信自己——无条件的做自己最大的粉丝。在职场没有人比你更关心你的未来。在合适的时候提升自己的能力，并对自己报以最大的自信。
