2013届毕业生应该如何开启人生的下一阶段

Define yourself
定义自己
As E.E. Cummings rightly said, "To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."
E.E.卡明斯有句话说得很有道理，“除了你自己，不要成为任何人，在这个竭尽全力、不分日夜想把你变成别人的世界里，这样做意味着迎接人类最艰苦的战斗；永不停息，战斗到底。”

So, before the world gets the better of you and slaps a title on your forehead, create a unique manifesto of what you think you are.
因此，在这个世界把你打败、为你冠以头衔前，发表独具风格的宣言，定义你心目中的自己。

And while you are at it, don't forget to celebrate the imperfections. While on a 10-day trek in the Himalayas, I learned that imperfections are beautiful too. The rough edges of the mountains, the heavy hail storms in the middle of the afternoon, were "inconvenient" but added to the beauty of the trek. I am acutely aware now that in my pursuit of perfection at work, I have often failed to recognize that imperfections are also a core part of our identity that needs to be preserved and not always changed.
尽管你会忙个不停，但是不要忘记赞美生活中不完美的地方。我在徒步攀登喜马拉雅山的十天中了解到生活也有美好的缺陷。高山峻岭的陡峭边缘，午后骤降的冰雹风暴，都给人带来种种不便，但是却为登山旅途增添了几分妙趣。我敏锐地感觉到，在我追求完美事业的过程中，我往往没有认识到，不完美的地方也是我们自身的核心特质，需要保留下来，而不是经常改变。
