睡前值得想明白的15件事情
優(yōu)先考慮自己
If you don’t take care of yourself, nobody else will. You have to be number one. All things in your life stem from your happiness. Be someone who makes you happy!
如果自己不照顧好自己，別人就更指望不上了。把自己放在首位。生活中一切因你的快樂而存在。做個(gè)為自己的快樂而生的人吧!
2. Enjoy the small things
享受生活中的那些小事
Take walks more often. Stop and look at a babbling brook. Sit in an oversized chair at Barnes & Noble and read a great book. Observe an elderly couple holding hands. Life is made up of these small and seemingly insignificant things. They aren’t insignificant. Be sure to take the time to appreciate them.
多散步。因潺潺流水而駐足;閑坐在巴諾書店的大號(hào)椅子上讀本好書;觀察一對(duì)手挽手的老夫婦;生活就是一連串看似微不足道的瑣事。它們雖不起眼，但一定要抽出時(shí)間去欣賞。
3. Get outside
留戀戶外
Being outdoors is good for you. Soak in the sunlight, get those endorphins kicking, and enjoy the beauty that nature offers.
戶外活動(dòng)有益身心。沐浴陽(yáng)光下，激活內(nèi)啡肽，享受自然的美。
4. Be confident in who you are
對(duì)自己要有自信
Every person is unique and special in their own way. Understanding this early in life is critical. Be proud of who you are and don’t be afraid to let the world know it.
每個(gè)人都與眾不同。年輕時(shí)，清楚這一點(diǎn)至關(guān)重要。為自己感到驕傲，而且要勇敢地讓世界知道這一點(diǎn)。
5. Take calculated risks
承擔(dān)可估算的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)
Life is a series of risks and rewards. Be smart with your risks and understand the consequences.
生活伴隨著風(fēng)險(xiǎn)與回報(bào)。在風(fēng)險(xiǎn)面前保持警醒，并有勇氣承擔(dān)后果。
6. Focus on the present
關(guān)注當(dāng)下
Worrying to a certain degree about your future is normal, but don’t overlook the power of being in the present moment. You can’t change the past, but you can control what you do right now.
對(duì)未來有些擔(dān)心很正常，但不要忽視活在當(dāng)下的能量。你無力改變過去，但現(xiàn)在卻由你掌控。
7. Stop caring about what people think of you
別在意別人對(duì)你的看法
Fear of criticism is one of the most destructive fears known to humanity. It can debilitate you to the point paralysis. Learn early in life that it doesn’t matter what people think of you. It really doesn’t. And besides, people are too worried about what you think about them to care about you!
對(duì)人類來說，擔(dān)心受指責(zé)是最具毀滅性的恐懼之一。它會(huì)使你脆弱得不堪一擊。年輕時(shí)就要懂得，人們?cè)趺纯茨銦o關(guān)緊要。的確如此。另外，人們過于擔(dān)心你對(duì)他們的看法而無暇顧及你。
8. Remember that people are good at heart
記住人性本善
Being a lifelong cynic can and will make your life an uphill climb. Recognize that people are inherently good and you will embrace relationships in a far greater capacity.
與憤世疾俗為伍，只會(huì)使生活艱難。承認(rèn)人善的本性，你就會(huì)敞開胸懷，廣交朋友。
9. Be a positive person
積極向上
Make being positive a habit early in life. Your success in life will come from your thoughts and your thoughts can be either negative or positive. Only you can control which you choose.
年輕時(shí)就要養(yǎng)成積極向上的習(xí)慣。生活成敗取決于思想，而思想有積極和消極之分。只有你是自己思想的主宰。
10. Let go of negative influences
遠(yuǎn)離負(fù)面影響
Avoid bad situations, unhealthy relationships, and people who make your life worse. Letting go of a good friend who is going to drag you down is a difficult yet intelligent decision. Failure to do so can negatively affect where you end up in life.
避開困境、不健康的關(guān)系和那些攪擾你生活的人。對(duì)使你止步不前的好朋友說再見雖難卻是明智之舉。如果不忍割舍，那只會(huì)讓你的生活變得一團(tuán)糟。
11. Surround yourself with positive people
與積極向上的人為友
Jim Rohn said "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with". And it’s completely true. If you want to be a success, hang around with successful people. If someone has what you want, you can do what they do, and get what they’ve got.
吉姆·雷恩說：“你最常接近的5個(gè)人的平均值就是你。” 這句話完全正確。如果你渴望成功，那就應(yīng)多接觸成功人士。如果某人擁有你希望得到的東西，你可以按照他們的做法，得到他們擁有的東西。
12. Worry less
少擔(dān)心
Worrying about that big test is normal, as is worrying about that possible job promotion, but when you begin to worry excessively, it can become a real problem. Worrying can lead to stress and anxiety, which can become disorders and negatively affect all areas of your life.
擔(dān)心重要的考試很正常，擔(dān)心可能的工作升遷也是一樣。但當(dāng)你開始過分擔(dān)心時(shí)，擔(dān)心本身可能成為問題。擔(dān)心可以產(chǎn)生壓力，導(dǎo)致焦慮，而混亂接踵而來，你生活的方方面面將受到消極影響。
13. Learn from your past but don’t dwell on it
以史為鑒，但不要糾結(jié)于過去
Being caught up in your past can lead to stagnation and the inability to progress in your life. Understand that life is just a series of events and move on. You can change the future but you cannot alter your past decisions.
沉浸于過去讓你停滯不前、無力進(jìn)取。要知道，生活是一系列不斷發(fā)展的事件。你可以改變未來，卻不能對(duì)過去的決定做出改變。
14. Travel
旅行
Most of you want to travel the world, see new things, and meet new people. But statistics show that the average mother in the U.S. will start a family at age 25, meaning that your travel options will become quite limited for a number of years after you start having children. And even if you do tell yourself that you’re going to travel, most of you won’t. Don’t put it off. Get out there and see the places you desire most.
大多數(shù)人渴望周游世界，接觸新事物，結(jié)交新朋友。但數(shù)據(jù)顯示，美國(guó)婦女一般在25歲時(shí)開始做母親，這意味著此后的數(shù)年之內(nèi)，你的旅行機(jī)會(huì)相當(dāng)受限。即使你不斷告訴自己，你有出游的想法，但大多實(shí)現(xiàn)不了。不要猶豫，收拾行裝，去欣賞你最心儀的美景吧。
15. Learn a new language
學(xué)門新語言
In this day and age, knowing a second (or third) language is no longer just a hobby, it can help you in your career. Being able to communicate with people from multiple cultures not only makes good business sense, but expands your personal growth.
當(dāng)今時(shí)代，懂二種或三種語言不再是愛好，你的職業(yè)生活將因此受益。具備與多種文化交流的能力不僅能鑄就你良好的商業(yè)意識(shí)，還是你個(gè)人成長(zhǎng)的助力。
