如果你接受了我的建議打算慢慢長大，你就不應(yīng)該被按揭付款、工作或者一個女孩所牽絆。把你所有的東西打包放在父母家的地下室里，然后去國外生活吧。

其實這個比你想象的更容易實現(xiàn)，尤其是你在國內(nèi)還沒有什么花費的情況下。如果需要的話，還可以在你選擇的國家找一份工作。

不要總是和說著母語的人待在一起，那太沒有挑戰(zhàn)性了。強迫自己去學(xué)習(xí)當(dāng)?shù)氐恼Z言，也許一開始會很痛苦，但是它會帶來享用不盡的好處。

寫日記

買個日記本，無論去哪里都帶上它。不需要文辭華麗，只要記下你心中的點點滴滴。

寫日記可以讓你理清思路。寫作這一過程能夠讓想法從腦袋里的碎片變成文字上的完整，然后再度回到你的頭腦中去思考。

另外，時間的流逝中，自己的想法也會隨之留下印記。

與人交際

在旅途或是新的嘗試中，一定要記得與不同的人交往。正如我前面所提到的，生命中最有價值的就是與他人分享別樣的經(jīng)歷。

你可以從別人那里學(xué)到許多的東西。要寬容地去接受各種角度的看法。設(shè)身處地地去理解別人的苦衷和做法。

你的成功會取決于你的交際網(wǎng)絡(luò)?；钤谡婵罩械娜耸菬o法獲得成功的。你永遠(yuǎn)無法預(yù)測到，當(dāng)你認(rèn)識新的朋友的時候會出現(xiàn)什么樣的機會。

There's No Rush to Have it All Figured Out

When I was your age， I felt pressure to have my life's purpose fig-ured out. I think a lot of young people think there's something wrong with them if they haven't "found themselves" by age 22.

Most people don't figure things out until much later in life (if at all). That's what your twenties are for：exploring different paths， making mis-takes， falling on your face， and building your character.

Take your time figuring it all out. You don't want to rush such a grand decision as your life's purpose.

Savor the Moment

Experience the textures， sights， sounds， and feelings of each moment. Time moves faster than you think.Your youth is special and you'll want to remember it for the rest of your life.

Start Businesses without Borrowing Money

When you decide to start a business， don't go into debt over it. Most businesses fail， and it's better to be left with nothing than to not have any-thing and still owe someone else money.

Pick a business that doesn't cost much to start and grow slowly， rein-vesting your earnings.

Choose a business that's as passive as possible. Bulk vending is a good one to start with while you're young.

Stay away from services. I made the mistake when I was your age of starting a T-shirt design service.The problem with services is that you have to re-create your work if you want to get paid again.Find something that pays you over and over for work done once.

Pick Something and Stick With It

Once you've had your fun traveling the world and being young， find a line of work that you are passionate about. Don't worry about the mon-ey that will come with time.As long as you are out of debt and putting money into savings each month， you're going to be just fine.

Don't get into the habit of changing your mind all the time. Eachtime you change course， you lose all your start-up energy.Learn how ex-ponential growth can affect your level of success in your chosen field.

不要急著給自己的人生下定義

我在你那個年齡的時候，我總是有一種要把全部人生規(guī)劃好的壓力。我想許多年輕人也都如此，如果他們沒有在22歲之前“找到人生的架構(gòu)”的話會覺得不正常。

大多數(shù)的人都是很多年之后才真正找到了人生的方向。而你的二十幾歲應(yīng)該去探索不同的路、犯錯誤、丟臉以及塑造自己的個性。

慢慢地來規(guī)劃自己的人生吧。這樣的人生大事，你可不能急匆匆地下決定?。?/p>

咀嚼時光

去體驗觸覺、視覺、聽覺，去感受每一刻。時間消逝的速度超乎你的想象。每一個青春都是特別的，而你會希望它值得在余生中被銘記。

創(chuàng)業(yè)，但不要借債

當(dāng)你決定創(chuàng)業(yè)的時候，不要借貸。大多數(shù)創(chuàng)業(yè)會失敗，這時，一無所有總比倒欠一屁股債有利吧。

選擇一個入門成本不太大的事業(yè)來做，并且一步一步成長，把收益再度投資。

選擇的業(yè)務(wù)越穩(wěn)定越好。在你年輕的時候，散裝銷售會是一個好的開始。

不要涉入服務(wù)行業(yè)。當(dāng)我年輕的時候，我作了個錯誤的決定——提供T恤設(shè)計的服務(wù)。服務(wù)行業(yè)的問題在于如果你想再次獲利就必須再度勞動。去找一些做一次工作卻能不斷收錢的事情吧。

選擇并堅持一件事情

當(dāng)你周游列國之后，趁年輕你應(yīng)該選擇一份你對它很有熱情的工作。不要為錢財擔(dān)憂，時間到了面包總是會有的。只要你沒有債務(wù)而且定期儲蓄的話，你就不會有問題的。

不要養(yǎng)成經(jīng)常改變主意的習(xí)慣。每一次你改變方向，那些前期工作都白費了。要知道，不懈的努力和持續(xù)的發(fā)展可以在你選擇的領(lǐng)域里影響你成功的程度。

If you are passionate about what you do， and stick with it， you can't help but be successful.

Back to Reality……

It's fun to think about what might have been， but in reality， we can't change the past. Ten years from now， I'll have a whole new list of things I wish I knew in my 30's.I would do well to take my own advice， and enjoy each moment.

如果你熱衷你所做的事情并且能夠持之以恒，那么你一定能夠成功。

回到現(xiàn)實……

想象“如果”是件很有趣的事情，但事實上，誰都不能改變歷史。十年后，我會有一個新的單子，寫滿那些“我三十歲時應(yīng)該知道的事情”。我會認(rèn)真地作每一個決定，享受每一分鐘。

假如我又回到了童年

If I Were A Boy Again

If I were a boy again， I would practice perseverance more often， and never give up a thing because it was or inconvenient. If we want light， we must conquer darkness.

Perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. "There are on-ly two creatures，" says a proverb， "who can surmount the pyramids—the eagle and the snail."

If I were a boy again， I would school myself into a habit of attention；I would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. I would re-member that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once.

The habit of attention becomes part of our life， if we begin early e-nough. I often hear grown up people say "I could not fix my attention on the sermon or book， although I wished to do so"， and the reason is， the habit was not formed in youth.

假如我又回到了童年，我做事要更有毅力，決不因為事情艱難或者麻煩而撒手不干。我們要光明，就得征服黑暗。

毅力在效果上有時能同天才相比。俗話說：“能登上金字塔的生物，只有兩種——鷹和蝸牛?！?/p>

假如我又回到了童年，我就要養(yǎng)成專心致志的習(xí)慣；有事在手，就決不讓任何東西讓我分心。我要牢記：優(yōu)秀的滑冰手從不試圖同時滑向兩個不同的方向。

如果及早養(yǎng)成這種專心致志的習(xí)慣，它將成為我們生命的一部分。我常聽成年人說：“雖然我希望能集中注意聽牧師講道或讀書，但往往做不到。”而原因就是年輕時沒有養(yǎng)成這種習(xí)慣。

If I were to live my life over again， I would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possi-ble means， and on every possible occasion.It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately；but memory soon helps itself， and gives very little trouble.It only needs early cultivation to become a power.

假如我現(xiàn)在能重新開始我的生命，我就要更注意記憶力的培養(yǎng)。我要采取一切可能的辦法，并且在一切可能的場合，增強記憶力。要準(zhǔn)確無誤地記住一些東西，在開始階段的確要作出一番小小的努力；但要不了多久，記憶力本身就會起作用，使記憶成為輕而易舉的事，只需及早培養(yǎng)，記憶自會成為一種才能。

青春常在

Feeling Of Youth

No young man believes he shall ever die. It was a saying of my broth-er's， and a fine one.There is a feeling of Eternity in youth， which makes us amend for everything.To be young is to be as one of the Immortal Gods.One half of time indeed is flown-the other half remains in store for us with all its countless treasures；for there is no line drawn， and we see no limit to our hopes and wishes.We make the coming age our own—

The vast， the unbounded prospect lies before us.
