一辈子至少要做一次的20件事:你做过几件了?
享受众人的欢呼
Do something cheer-worthy, whether you’re scoring the winning touchdown, taking a bow after your successful theater debut or delivering a rousing speech—and then bask in the crowd’s loud vocal approval and applause.
做一些值得喝彩的事,不论是获得了制胜的触地得分,在成功的舞台首秀后鞠躬谢幕,还是发表了一篇鼓舞人心的演说,在众人的喝彩与掌声中陶醉吧。
7. Keep a journal
写日记
At some point in your life, follow the example of successful people ranging from presidents and prime ministers to artists and authors by keeping a written record of your daily thoughts, insights and observations.
在生命中的某个时刻,像那些成功人士(总统、首相、艺术家、作家等等)一样记录你日常的想法、见解和观察。
8. Take a leap of faith
大胆一试
It’s nice to have all the facts and a clear and irrefutable choice, but life doesn’t always work that way. Sometimes, you have to just trust your instincts, take a leap of faith, and see where you land. Chances are you’ll end up in a place far more interesting than where logic alone would have led you.
掌握所有的事实,做出清楚且无可辩驳的选择当然很好,但人生并不总是如此。有时候你只需要相信自己的直觉,大胆尝试,看看你会去向何方。你也许会达到一个更有趣的地方,而单凭逻辑是永远无法到达的。
9. Give something back
回馈他人
Life has been good to you, so use some of your time, talent and hard-earned money to help those less fortunate. You’ll not only improve the lives of the people you touch directly, you’ll also enrich your community and yourself.
生活如此善待你,所以你可以花一些时间、精力和辛苦挣来的钱去帮助那些不那么幸运的人。你不仅可以改善那些人的生活,你也使得你周围的人和你自己都更加富有。
10. Design and build a house
设计并建造一座房子
Stop trying to fit your life into spaces designed by people who don’t understand what you need, and build a place of your own. Whether it’s your dream house or a weekend cabin, at least once in your life design and build a home of your own.
别再试图让自己去适应那些根本不理解你需要的人设计的空间了,打造一个属于你自己的地方吧。不论是你梦想中的房子还是一个周末度假小屋,一生中至少尝试一次自己设计并建造一座房子。
