“We spend much of our lives going about completely blind to reality, and yet we still have the gall to act victimized when it invariably catches up to us.” – Nenia Campbell “我们完全不顾生活现实白白浪费了很多生命时光,既然避免不了要面对现实生活,那么我们仍要有胆量来面对。”——作家奈尼尔-坎贝尔 1. You cannot always rely on friends 你不可能一直靠朋友帮忙 You will need certain life skills when nobody else is around. In this way you can rely on yourself to get out of trouble. It is a sad fact of life that we cannot count on other people most of the time. Make sure you have the following skills: 在你周围没人可以依靠的日子里,那就需要你掌握一定的生活技能,这样你可以靠自己走出困境。大部分时间我们无法指望别人,这个悲哀的生活事实是我们要面对的。你要保证自己掌握以下技能: You can cook 会做饭 You can drive 会开车 You know about the power switches in your home 知道你家里电源开关的位置 You have a spare set of keys in a secret place for when you get locked out 有一套备用钥匙放在隐秘地方以备自己锁在外面时用 You can manage your time 自己把握好时间 You learn something new about information technology every day to become computerate. |
