I’m 30 years old, and there are several things that life has taught me that I want to share with you. Some of these things I’ve known since I was young, some of these things I have learned recently.
我現(xiàn)在30歲了，我想和大家分享一下這些年從生活中所學(xué)到的一些內(nèi)容。其中有一些是我年輕時就已經(jīng)知道的，也有一些是我最近才學(xué)到的。I believe these lessons will add to your life. Without further ado, here are the 5 lessons that life has taught me at 30 years of age.
我相信這些經(jīng)驗會對你的生活有益。事不宜遲，來看一下這三十年里，生活所教給我的這五堂課吧。1. Marry Well
美滿的婚姻In the movie “Shallow Hal,” Jack Black’s character “Hal” was cheated on by his girlfriend. Of course, he was very sad given this situation. His friend tried to comfort him by telling him, “You didn’t know she was bad.” To which Hal replied, “I knew she wasn’t good.”
在電影《庸人哈爾》中，杰克·布萊克扮演的哈爾，他的女友對他不忠。當(dāng)然遇到這種事情他很傷心。他的朋友想安慰他，說：“你知道她不是個壞女孩。” 哈爾回答說：“我知道她不是好女孩。”It’s critical that you pursue relationships with individuals who are “good,” first. Don’t let your primary criteria be cuteness or coolness. You only want to get married once, so it’s critical that you marry the right person. Marry someone who you can fall in love with several times over, because they’re so good.
談戀愛時，首先要考慮對方的人品，這是相當(dāng)關(guān)鍵的。不要把擇偶的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)設(shè)為可愛或酷。你只想結(jié)一次婚，所以和適合你的人結(jié)婚是非常重要的。找一個你能多次相戀的好人結(jié)婚吧。2. Take Care of Your Body
保養(yǎng)好自己的身體Life is “unfairly” biased towards people who “look good,” like it or not. So it’s important that you do all that is in your power to look your best. And by “doing all that is in your power” I mean dressing nicely, working out and eating right.
不管你喜歡與否，生活總是“不公平”地偏向于看起來狀態(tài)好的人。所以盡可能地讓自己看起來處在最棒的狀態(tài)，這是非常重要的，這里是指穿著得體、鍛煉身體并健康飲食。You will live longer, and you will live happier, if you take care of your body; you may even get promoted faster on your job. Research shows that people who take good care of their body are perceived to be better workers.
如果你能把身體保養(yǎng)好，你會更加長壽，并生活得更加快樂；你甚至能更快地升職加薪。研究表明，人們認(rèn)為能保養(yǎng)好身體的人通常工作也會更加出色。And if that’s not enough to motivate you, remember that your health is really your greatest wealth.
如果這些還不能激勵你的話，請記住健康是你最大的財富。3. Save Your Money
存錢While I believe in having nice things, I’m a greater believer in paying yourself first.
雖然我想擁有美好的東西，但我相信把錢存下來會更好。No one taught me to save when I was growing up, no one told me the importance of saving, fortunately I was able to learn the value of saving through reading great books like “The Millionaire Next Door.” I want to teach others what I was not taught when I was young, and that message is to save at least twenty percent of your income. If you are to be wealthy, you must not just earn a lot, you must save a lot.
在我成長的過程中，沒人教我攢錢，也沒人告訴我攢錢的重要性。幸運的是，我從像《隔壁的百萬富翁》這樣的書中學(xué)到了存錢的重要性。我想把我年輕時所不知道的這條信息告訴你：至少把收入的20%積攢起來。如果你想變得富有，你不僅要能賺錢，而且還得會攢錢。4. Think Long-term
長遠打算In high school I was thinking about college, in college I was thinking about life after college. In my teens, I was thinking about 20’s, in my 20’s, I was thinking about my 30s. Now that I’m 30, I’m planning how my life will be in my 40’s. I’m designing my life and I’m making decisions today that will enable me to live the life I desire when I’m in my 40’s, 50’s and 60’s.
上高中時，我在想著上大學(xué)的事情，在大學(xué)里我想著畢業(yè)后的生活；十幾歲時我想著20歲的事情，20多歲時我想著30歲的事情。現(xiàn)在我已經(jīng)30了，我在計劃著40歲的生活。我正在設(shè)計我的人生，今天我所做的決定會讓我在40歲、50歲、60歲時過上想過的生活。You have to think long-term, you have to see the “big picture.” If you plan your future properly, you will live into your plans.
你得長遠打算，看到自己的“藍圖”。如果你對未來的計劃得當(dāng)，你會生活在計劃中。5. Realize the Power of Focus
意識到專注的魔力Focus, focus, focus… Nothing is more critical than focus. If you fail in this lifetime, you will fail because of broken focus.
關(guān)注，關(guān)注，還是關(guān)注……沒有什么比集中注意力更重要的了。如果你的一生很失敗，那是因為你沒有集中注意力。If you focus on the goals that are most important to you, to the exclusion of everything else, you will achieve them.
如果你把注意力集中到對你最重要的目標(biāo)上，排除其他的一切事情，你就會實現(xiàn)目標(biāo)。The problem is that there are so many distractions. What separates the winners from the losers is that the winners learn to focus on their goal. Winners decide to major on majors, and they even let important things slip, because they focus solely on achieving that which is critical to their goals.
問題就在于干擾太多。勝者和敗者的區(qū)別在于，勝者學(xué)會專注于他們的目標(biāo)。勝者下決心把注意力集中在主要的目標(biāo)上，他們甚至?xí)艞壷匾氖虑椋驗樗麄冎皇菍Ｗ⒂趯λ麄兡繕?biāo)關(guān)鍵的事情。Focus is the key to success, Tony Robbins said, “Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives.”
集中注意力是取得成功的關(guān)鍵，托尼·羅賓斯說過，“大部分人都不知道，當(dāng)我們把所有的資源都集中在生活的某一領(lǐng)域內(nèi)，我們所能獲得的那種巨大的能力。”You have an enormous capacity to accomplish great things, the question is will you do it, will you focus, will you succeed.
你有著巨大的能力來完成偉大的事情，只要你肯做，只要你集中精力，你就會成功。
