再不疯狂就老了:年轻时要做的30件事

2014-04-10来源:lifehack
23. Give unconditionally
无私地给予

Understanding the sheer power of giving unconditionally can shape the course of your life. Learn this early.
懂得无私给予的强大力量可以改变你生活的历程,要尽早学会。

24. Working too much
为工作狂

Working yourself half to death throughout your 20s and 30s may seem like a great idea for rising up the corporate ladder, but remember that those are your golden years. Make time for the things you are most passionate about while you are healthy enough to do so.
二、三十岁时为升职拼死拼活的工作貌似好主意,但是,要切记这可是你的黄金时期。趁着身体健康,抽出时间做些自己最热衷的事情。

25. Develop good habits
养成好习惯

The outcome of your life will be based on the decisions you make. Making good decisions comes from having good habits. Educate yourself on how to start adopting positive ones and removing the negative ones.
生活的回报基于你作出的决定。养成良好的习惯,才会有明智之举。教会自己如何养成催人奋进的好习惯,如何摒弃不良习惯。

26. Find what you excel at and begin to master it
找到你的强项,为精通它而发奋

Spending years languishing in uncertainty is the fastest way to living an average life. Find where your strengths meet your passions and become great at them. Don’t be a jack of all trades. Be the master of a few.
在不确定中耗费数年苦思冥想是通向平庸生活的捷径。找到你既感兴趣又擅长的领域,苦心钻研。不做博而不精的人,只掌握几种技能。

27. Spend as much time with your children as possible
多陪孩子

If you lose your time with your children, you will never get it back. Embrace this time with all your heart. Being a parent is the single most important job on the planet.
如果缺了这一课,可没办法去弥补。珍惜与孩子共处的每一刻,做父母是地球最最重要的工作。

28. Learn to be grateful
学会感激

This is easier said than done, but being appreciative of what you have can make the difference between a life of wanting and a life of contentment.
说起来容易做起来难,但是,不满现状还是知足常乐取决于你是否心存感激。

29. Start a business
做自己的生意

Don’t spend your life only knowing what it’s like to be an employee. Start your own venture, whether it be mowing lawns or running Internet security, try your hand in business. Lessons in entrepreneurship cannot be learned in a classroom. Real world experience will prove invaluable.
不要一辈子只知道为别人打工。尝试经营自己的生意,不论修剪草坪还是经营互联网安全相关业务。课堂上学不到生意经,真实世界体验的价值不可估量。

30. Be crazy
疯狂

Well, not literally. Do something wild and adventurous. As you grow older, you will begin a career, and/or settle down and start a family and will be less inclined to let it all hang out. Be bold and daring. And have fun with it!
当然不是字面上的疯狂,是做些既疯狂且有风险的事情。随着年龄的增长,你将开始自己的职业生涯,然后安定下来,组建家庭,之后你将变得小心谨慎。所以,趁现在去做些胆大妄为的事情吧,祝玩得开心。

While it’s never too late to work on your personal growth, getting these things done early in your life can truly make the difference between a life lived on your terms or a life lived on someone else’s.
尽管个人发展可以随时起步,但自我发展早或晚会使你的生活大不相同,你喜欢自己做主的生活,还是仰人鼻息的日子呢?
