Since today is my 30th birthday I thought it fitting to share 30 things I understand now that were complete mysteries to me just a few short years ago. These are simple lessons about life in general that I picked up while traveling, living in different cities, working for different companies (and myself), and meeting remarkable and unusual people everywhere in between. 今天是我30岁生日,正好可以告诉大家我近几年刚刚明白的30个道理。这些简单的人生经验之谈,都是我从旅行中,从不同城市、不同公司(包括自己公司)的生活和工作经历中,从与世界各地优秀人物的交往中拾取的。 1. There comes a point in life when you get tired of chasing everyone and trying to fix everything, but its not giving up. Its realizing you dont need certain people and things and the drama they bring. 当你在生活中厌倦了追赶众人、凡事追求完美的时候,不要放弃理想,而是认识到有些人、有些事以及相应的场面是你不需要的。 2. If a person wants to be a part of your life he will make an obvious effort to do so. Dont bother reserving a space in your heart for people who do not make an effort to stay. 假如某人想成为你生命中的一部分,他应当为此付出努力。犯不着在心灵里为那些无意停留的人预备一个空间。 3. If you want to fly, you have to give up the things that weigh you down which is not always as obvious and easy as it sounds. 想要飞翔,就得摆脱那些令你下坠的东西这些东西有时不是那么显而易见的。 |
