内容提要:生命实在太短暂,随着年龄的不断增长时间飞逝得越快。

  3. Exploration  探索

  Do you spend most of your time in the office only to leave your chair to travel back home again where you sit down, watch TV, and "relax"? Try getting out more. Turn off the TV and get outside. Go on a walk or a hike or a drive. Is there somewhere local that you've never been? Too often we see a lot more of foreign places than we do of our own back yard。

  你是不是把大部分时间花在办公室,然后离开办公椅到家又坐下看看电视,进行所谓的“放松”?多去外面走走吧!关掉电视走出门去,散散步,徒步旅行或自驾旅行,当地是否有些地方你从未涉足过?走出后院,我们将会看到更多未曾见过的景色。

  4. Risk  冒险

  Like to play it safe? Worried about things going wrong? It's been my experience that everything always works out. Try something risky like changing careers or quitting your job and working for yourself. Pick up and move half way around the world and see what it's like in another culture, another country or another hemisphere。

  更青睐安定的生活?害怕变化?其实据我经验证明,怎么选择生活都可以过得很好。试试冒次险吧:跳槽,辞职,或是自己创业。收拾好心情重新开始,去到世界另一端,拜访不同的国家甚至是另一个半球,体验那里不同的文化风韵。

  5.Doing something crazy  做点疯狂的事

  Walk home in the rain in your business suit. Join a polar bear club or sing along with a busker in the streets and see what happens. Be a back up dancer at a karaoke bar. There are a lot of crazy things you can do. Keep it clean, be respectful and I'm sure you'll find you get a burst of energy and excitement from doing it。

  比如穿着工作服冒着风雨散步回家,参加北极熊俱乐部或是和街头艺人一起唱歌,又会发生什么呢?你还可以做卡拉OK的后备舞者!有太多疯狂的事可做了,请单纯且尊敬地对待这些疯狂举动,我相信你将会从中激发丰富的热情和活力!

  6.Being nice  善待他人

  Do something nice for someone else out of the blue and just because. Don't expect anything in return. Volunteer at a soup kitchen, donate food and toys to an animal shelter. Plant an extra row of vegetables in your garden and donate the produce to a charity. We all think we're nice people but actions really do speak louder than words. Think about it。

  为别人做点好事:帮助那些苦恼的人从困难中走出来,不要期待任何回报。去赈济所作志愿者,为动物收容所捐赠食物和玩具,在你花园里多种植一排蔬菜,将收获的作物送给慈善机构。我们都觉得自己很善良,但最好用实际行动证明吧!考虑下这个提议。

  7. Quitting something  懂得取舍

  We all know that when we say yes to one thing we are saying no to something else. If that committee you're on isn't providing you a sense of fulfillment or accomplishment as it once did, quit. Quit the soccer team if it's no longer fun, quit grad school if it's no longer what you want to do. Quitting is usually seen as a negative thing and to be avoided. However, being deliberate and thoughtful in what you are resigning from will open a large chunk of time that could be better spent。

  我们都明白,接受一些东西就意味着拒绝其他很多。若你所做的承诺已经不再像以前般给你成就感,就果断舍弃它。离开不再有趣的足球队,舍弃不是你真正所需的研究生学习。人们一直不愿选择舍弃,感觉那是一种消极负面的举动。但如果一直为本应该舍弃的东西思前想后,就会白白浪费大把可以被更好利用的时间。

  There are a lot of areas of our lives that unless we really take time to think about them we keep with the status quo. Living life on auto-pilot can be boring and may lead to a life with relatively few rich experiences. I have made it my mission to live deliberately and with purpose so I can look back with, hopefully, no regrets. So far so good。

  生活中有许多领域可以改变自我,除非我们真正花时间去思考,否则只能维持现状。被设置了“自动驾驶装置”的生活,将是多么枯燥乏味,它缺少经历去点缀和填充。我给自己的使命就是谨慎有目的地生活,当我回顾往昔时才不会后悔。到目前为止,一切都进展顺利。
