过来人分享：20多岁要养成的20个好习惯（一）

Never put off or give up on a goal that’s important to you. Not because you still have tomorrow to start or try again, but because you may not have tomorrow at all. Life is shorter than it sometimes seems. Make today count.
永远不要推迟和放弃对你来说很重要的目标。这不是因为你还有明天重新来过，正相反，因为今天很可能就是我们生命中的最后一天。有时候日子总是比自己预期的要短！所以珍惜当下，充实当下。

7. Accept your humanness.
接受你的本性。

You can stop pretending. It feels good to own up to stuff… to admit that you’re human – a work in progress – a beautiful mess. You’re fine. Having a little anxiety is fine. Being a little fearful is fine. Your secrets are fine. You’re a good person. You’re intelligent. You’re blowing things out of proportion. You’re fine just the way you are.
你无法伪装。承认自己的本性、承认自己并非完人，一团美丽的但需要时间来梳理完善的乱麻，这样不是也挺好嘛。所以，偶尔焦虑也没什么；偶尔害怕也没什么；有点小秘密也没什么。这些都不影响。你依旧是个不错的家伙；你很聪明；你偶尔会犯大错。因为你就是你。

8. Seek less approval from others.
不要过分追求他人的赞同。

Your ideas and choices don’t have to be on everyone’s ‘approved’ list. Regardless of the opinions of others, at the end of the day the only reflection staring back at you in the mirror is your own. Make sure you’re proud of who that person is. Approach others with the belief that you’re a good person, whether they respond positively or not. It’s normal to want the people around you to like you, but it becomes a self-imposed burden when too much of your behavior is explicitly designed to constantly reassure you of their approval.
你的想法和选择不需要经过所有人同意。忽略别人的看法吧，毕竟一天结束站在镜子前，你看到的只是你自己。做一个让自己骄傲的你。和别人打交道时，无论他们的反馈是积极或消极，都要相信自己很不错。希望周围的人都喜欢自己，这样的想法很正常。但是，若太过在意别人的看法，反而会给自己平添许多不必要的压力。

9. Ignore society’s comparisons.
忽略世俗的攀比。

Constantly checking your life against one of society’s prewritten stories of how things ‘should’ be is a phony way of living. It’s sort of like renting your identity. Just be you. You are far more nuanced than anyone else’s narrative you try to fit yourself into, and more complex than society’s story of what ‘should’ be happening.
不停地按照别人的生活路线来衡量自己的生活，这并不是真正的生活，而是“租借”的生活。做你自己。你和那些你想尽力融入的任何人不同；你的生活应该比那些所谓“正确的生活” 来得精彩复杂得多。

10. Believe in your ability to succeed.
相信自己能够成功。

You control the ultimate result of where you will end up, what you may become, and how successful you can be. No matter what your current circumstances are, always maintain a strong belief in your ability to succeed, and then put your beliefs to work. Do so, and in time you will amaze yourself.
未来如何，你将成为什么样的人、你将能有多成功……这些因素都取决于你。无论现在身处何种环境，请始终保持必胜的信念，并把它带进工作中去。等你做到了这一切，你会让自己惊讶的！
