别给自己后悔的机会:10年后你会后悔的10件事

2013-03-24来源:positivityblog
6. Giving up when the going gets tough.
遇到困难轻言放弃。

There are no failures, just results. Even if things don’t unfold the way you had expected, don’t be disheartened or give up. Learn what you can and move on. The one who continues to advance one step at a time will win in the end. Because the battle is always won far away and long before the final victory. It’s a process that occurs with small steps, decisions, and actions that gradually build upon each other and eventually lead to that glorious moment of triumph.
并没有失败,只有失败的结果。即使事情并不如你所愿,也不要灰心或者放弃。总结教训,继续前进。那些一步一个脚印继续前进的人也会赢得最终的胜利。因为早在最终的胜利到来之前,他们的态度就已经赢下了这场战役。在这个过程中,那些小的进步、决定和行动都会逐渐累积,最终为他们带来胜利的光荣时刻。

7. Trying to micromanage every little thing.
过于紧张每一件小事。

Life should be touched, not strangled. Sometimes you’ve got to relax and let life happen without incessant worry and micromanagement. Learn to let go a little before you squeeze too tight. Take a deep breath. When the dust settles and you can once again see the forest for the trees, take the next step forward. You don’t have to know exactly where you’re going to be headed somewhere great. Everything in life is in perfect order whether you understand it yet or not. It just takes some time to connect all the dots.
生活需要触碰,而不是紧握。有时候你需要放松,让生活顺其自然,不要过分担心,也不要过于细致的规划。学会放松一点,不要握得太紧。深呼吸。尘埃落定时你会再次看见森林中的树木,再卖出前进的下一步。你没有必要明确知道你会去往哪个好地方。生活中的一切都有完美的顺序,不论你现在是否理解。只是需要一些时间把每一站联系起来。

8. Settling for less than you deserve.
太容易满足。

Be strong enough to let go and wise enough to wait for what you deserve. Sometimes you have to get knocked down lower than you have ever been to stand up taller than you ever were before. Sometimes your eyes need to be washed by your tears so you can see the possibilities in front of you with a clearer vision again. Don’t settle.
你需要足够坚强才能放下过去。你需要足够智慧才能争取到你所应得的东西。有时你不得不退一两步,才能达到比以往更高的高度。有时你的双眼只有经过泪水的洗礼,才能更清楚地看见前方的各种可能。不要满足于现状。

9. Endlessly waiting until tomorrow.
无止境的拖延。

The trouble is, you always think you have more time than you do. But one day you will wake up and there won’t be any more time to work on the things you’ve always wanted to do. And at that point you either will have achieved the goals you set for yourself, or you will have a list of excuses for why you haven’t.
问题在于,你的时间永远没有你想象中那么多。有一天当你醒来时会发现,你再没有时间去做那些你一直想做的事情了。那时你要么已经实现了自己的目标,要么为你没有实现的目标找一大堆理由。

10. Being lazy and wishy-washy.
懒惰无力。

The world doesn’t owe you anything, you owe the world something. So stop daydreaming and start DOING. Develop a backbone, not a wishbone. Take full responsibility for your life – take control. You are important and you are needed. It’s too late to sit around and wait for somebody to do something someday. Someday is now; the somebody the world needs is YOU.
这个世界并不欠你什么,而你却欠这个世界的。所以别在做白日梦,开始行动吧。挺起背来,别趴下。对你的人生负责,掌控一切。你是如此重要如此被需要。如果坐在那里等着某一天某个人来为你做点什么,那就太晚了。某一天就是现在;这个世界需要的某个人就是你自己。
