2014-04-10来源:lifehack

16. Overcome some of your biggest fears
消除一些盘踞内心的恐惧

Your fears will haunt you for your entire life if they aren’t dealt with. Do you really want to go through life being deathly afraid of flying? Do you want the fear of public speaking to control you? Of course not. Take these challenges head on and early on and overcome them.
如果听之任之,恐惧将萦绕你一生。你真得希望终其一生都怕飞翔怕得要死吗?你希望在大家面前讲话时总是诚惶诚恐吗?当然不。直面挑战,克服它们。

17. Experiment
经验

Life is chock full of experiences. Try new things. Get out there and fail often. Learn from your mistakes. You only get one chance at this life. Get as much in as you can.
生活中皆是经验。尝试新事物。大胆走出去,接受失败,从错误中学习。你只能活一次,尽量多尝试。

18. Appreciate your parents
感激父母

As children, we adore our parents. As teens, we ignore our parents. And in adulthood, we take them for granted. Knowing that they did the best possible job they could raising you will help you appreciate them. Make a phone call right now to tell them so.
孩提时,我们崇拜父母;青春年少时,我们忽视父母;成年后,我们认为他们做的一切都是应该的。他们尽最大的努力抚养你,懂得这一点将使你感激他们。马上拿起电话,告诉他们你的感激之情。

19. Stay close with the important people in your life
与你生活中的贵人保持密切联系

Most of you will lose contact with childhood friends, college buddies, and past coworkers. But chances are that you’ve made some great friends along the way. If you’ve found that you’ve lost touch with someone who was important to you, reach out to them and try to reconnect. People who you consider important are few and far between, so do your best to keep them in your life.
你们中的大多数会与儿时玩伴、大学好友和曾经的同事失去联系。但是一路走来,你可能已经交了一些不错的朋友。如果你发现,你与曾经对你很重要的人失去联系,找到他们,重要建立联系。被你贴上重要标签的人少之又少,所以尽量不要让他们淡出你的生活。

20. Remember that you do not know it all
记住你不是万事通

It’s a given that teenagers believe they know it all, but as an adult it’s important to recognize how little you know. Make learning something new part of your daily routine. Started at an early age, you will be amazed at how much you can learn in a lifetime.
作为青少年,他们相信自己无事不知,但作为成人,你应该意识到你知之甚少。让学习成为你日常生活的不可分割的一部分。如果你开始得早,你将对一生中能学到如此之多感到吃惊。

21. Listen to your parents
倾听父母

As crazy as it may seem, they have much more life experience than you and do know what they are talking about. Take the time to listen to their stories. They have more wisdom than you believe.
虽看似不切实际,但他们的生活经验的确比你丰富得多,而且他们深知自己要表达的内容。抽出时间,倾听他们的故事,他们的智慧超乎你想象。

22. Face the bully
不甘示弱

Most of you have had a bully in one shape or another in your lifetime. Do not let your fear control you. The best way to handle any bully is to confront them. Most are cowards hiding behind their size and/or power. Confronting them will get their attention, and in many cases, their respect.
在生活中,你们中很多人会遭遇这样或那样的恃强凌弱者。不要成为恐惧的俘虏。应对任何欺侮的最佳办法是面对它们。大多数人看似高大威猛,实际上,懦弱潜藏于他们的内心。勇敢面对不仅吸引他们的注意力,在许多情形下,还能赢得他们的尊重。
