Being young is great. Most of the parts of your body still work great, you have a full head of hair, you’re energetic, and you have a world of opportunity in front of you. However, there’s going to come a time when you start to get older. And as you get older, you’ll have new responsibilities, complete independence, and perhaps most importantly, less time to recover from mistakes. 年轻真好。身体大部分零件运转灵活,头发浓密,精力旺盛,机会唾手可得。然而,总有一天,老之将至。随着年龄的增长,肩上的担子重了,生活完全靠自己打拼,可能最重要的是,有更少的时间去弥补错误。 You see, we all make mistakes in life. Maybe you spent more money than you should have on a car, you passed up on a great job opportunity, or you didn’t try as hard as you could have in school. It’s a part of life and we learn from it. But there are certain mistakes that are much better made while you’re still young and have plenty of time to recover. 你看,在生活中,我们都犯错误。或许,你在汽车上花的钱超出了预算;或许,你错过了大好的工作机会;或许,上学时你不勤奋好学。这是生活的一部分,我们从中获得经验。但是,某些错误最好犯在年轻时,你将有足够的时间去弥补。 I’m definitely not telling you that you should purposely go out and make these mistakes (because they’re a pain to recover from). But these are all mistakes that are much better made when you’re younger so that you can learn from them and not have them ruin your entire life. |
