Dear Twentysomething-year-old Me,
亲爱的20多岁的我:
1. When that man you have a crush on asks, "Are you a good girl or a bad girl?" laugh in his face, spin on your heel and ignore his calls.
当那个你喜欢的男孩问“你是个好女孩还是个坏女孩”时,冲他笑笑,转身走开,忽略他打给你的电话。
2. Wear sunscreen. At least around your eyes and above your currently pert upper lip's cupid's bow.
要擦防晒霜。至少在眼睛周围,和你现在完美唇形的上唇边缘要擦。
写给20多岁自己的一封信
3. Just because you share blood with people doesn't mean you have to give them the time of day if they are hell-bent on making you feel small, misunderstood and wrong. You've given them enough chances. Cut the cord.
就算是你的血脉至亲,也别允许他们肆意藐视你、误解你、无端指责你。你已经给了他们很多机会了。请摆脱他们的束缚。
4. Sign up for small automatic savings deposits that kick in every time you get paid. You'll be making down payments on your own future freedom.
办理小额的储蓄存款通存业务,每次你发工资就可以存些钱。你在为将来会获得的自由预知账单。
5. Rejection is not a sign that you should stop doing what you love. It is married to doing what you love. It should not be kneecapping you. Embrace it.
被拒绝不意味着你应该放弃那些爱好,追求自己的爱好必然会遇到挫折,别让挫折阻止你,拥抱挫折。
6. If you have a problem with a valued friend, bite the bullet and talk about it. Don't just disappear on her or him.
如果你与某个重要的朋友不和,放下面子,和他(她)谈谈。不要仅仅从他(她)眼前消失。
7. Tell the truth. People really do sense it when you lie to them, and it makes them distrust you or themselves. It's the darndest thing.
说实话。别人真的可以感觉到你在说谎,这会让他人对你或他们自己产生不信任感。说实话是一件超赞的事情。
8. You were raised to think that you should be married well before 30 -- and that everything else you fill your life with adds up to failure if you remain single. That's a giant bucket of steaming dookie. Be choosy. The happiness you're chasing is actually suffusing your life right now. You will look back on this time very wistfully when you've got spit-up in your hair and a husband who expects hot meals, a sparkling-clean house and you to resemble the cutie he married.
你的成长环境使你觉得你应该早在30岁之前成婚——如果你30岁还单身,就会觉得生活中其他一切都是失败的。这种想法太小题大做了。当你头发开始分叉,丈夫等着吃饭,刚把房子打扫干净,而你本人已经不是丈夫当年娶的小可爱的时候,你会非常渴望回到现在的时光。
9. Reconnect with your gut. I know you were raised to ignore it, and to first please others. Without a connection to your gut, you have no compass. Listen to it. If it squawks, pay attention. The more you listen to it, the more you'll avoid messy/self-destructive detours and align with your own satisfying path.
重新关注自己的内心。我知道你的成长环境教会你首先取悦别人,而忽略自己的内心。但是如果你不去关注自己的心,就无法同情他人。倾听自己的心吧。如果你的心在抱怨,你就必须注意了。对自己的心倾听的越多,你就越能够避免自暴自弃的倾向,而能够把握自娱自乐的心境。
10. You are so beautiful right now. Your skin is amazing. Your metabolism is forgiving. You have epic amounts of energy and curiosity. Do not look to others to fuel up your self-esteem. You're made of awesome. Own it and others will see it.
现在的你是如此美丽。你的皮肤美呆了,你的新陈代谢很旺盛。你的精力和好奇心都处于顶点。不要靠模仿别人来满足自己的自尊心。你本身已经很赞了。把握住这种气场,周围的人都会看到。
11. Go easier on your mother. Every single thing that annoys and disappoints you about her will be something you recognize in yourself as you get older. That's one big bakery full of humble pie you're cooking up right now.
对妈妈耐心点。她身上任何使你发火或失望的特质,等以后年纪再大一些你都会在自己身上找到。你正在自酿苦酒。
12. Don't be competitive. Be collaborative. There's plenty of room at the table.
不要好胜,要有团队意识。每个人都会分到一杯羹。
13. Your dream life is not something that will appear to you, or not, like an elusive, mythical unicorn. You build your own specifically perfect life every time you listen to your gut, shake off rejection, honor friends, embrace choosiness, feed your savings account and recognize your own arrogance.
你梦想的生活方式也许不会出现,如果出现,它也不会像一直神秘魔幻的独角兽那样现身。每次你倾听自己的内心,战胜挫折,珍惜朋友,拥抱对你的挑剔,增加存款,认清自己的傲慢的时候,你都在建构自己独有的梦想生活。
Love,
爱你的,
40-Year-Old Me

名词解释:北京有家提供慢信投递业务的小店,把信交给那里几年后收信人才可以收到。本文的作者Sherri在18岁时也给自己写了一封信,在信中她对未来自己的生活有着怎样的期待?跟小编来看一下吧。
In 1994 I wrote a letter. I stuck it in an envelope, put it away and completely forgot about it.
It wasn't until we moved into our new home in 2006 that I found it again. It was addressed to me with explicitinstructions not to open until my birthday 2005. It was now 2006 so I decided to open it. This is what it said:
Dear Sherri
By the time you read this you will be 30. At the age of 18 I had so many hopes and dreams about where you'd be, what you'd be doing and with whom you'd spend your life with.
Right now I hope that you have traveled and seen everything you've always wanted to, both in Canada and overseas, and maybe even settled down somewhere in Australia doing some research in the field of biology(genetics).
I hope you're married to the man of your dreams. The man of mine is Gwynn. He is originally from South Africa (another place I wish to visit).
You'll probably have two children of your own – a girl(Michaela Anne) and a boy (name yet to be decided).
If everything goes according to plan you'll be living in Australia in a big house in a small town outside of a big city with a lot of land, a dog, Gwynn and your two beautiful children. Hopefully you have a career in the medical field, maybe doing research in genetics. Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you will be doing alright for yourselves.
However, if things don't go according to plan for you, I wish you all the love, happiness and joy in the world and don't settle for anything less than the best since that is absolutely what you deserve.
Live long, be happy and live life to it's fullest.
Love Sherri "18″
When I read this for the first time since writing it I was floored. Even now having dug this up again another 4 years later I still can't help but think this is really cool.
So much of what I wanted for myself has materialized.
* I did travel to a few more places in Canada although I haven't seen everything I'd like to.
* I did marry the man of my dreams and yes he still is my one and only.
* I've traveled to the UK, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
* I lived in Australia for nearly 4 years in a big house, in a small suburb, in a major city (close enough).
* I had a career in Biology in the field of genetics for 10 years.
* I have two lovely kids – both boys (names now decided).
* I have not one dog but two dogs. Both yellow labs from Australia.
* Gwynn is a computer programmer.
* We are doing okay for ourselves.
After writing this I quickly forgot about what I had put in here actually. The things that materialized were all met with quite a bit of resistance (all internal) but I suppose these were things that I really did want. Having never strayed too far from home overseas travel was a huge deal. Having never been away from my family moving to Australia for several years was an incredibly huge decision.
I find it fascinating how the dreams of a young and naive little girl can become a grown woman's reality.
I'm curious if you guys have ever written anything to your future self and how it stacks up to your current reality. If you haven't, will you join me in writing a letter now to yourself in say 10 years from now? It's an interesting little experiment.

以下是小编整理的哲理类英语美文欣赏: 做自己的朋友,希望对你有所感触。
Friendship with oneself is all important, becausewithout it one cannot be friends with anyone else inthe world.- Eleanor Roosevelt
We often focus on building relationships with othersthat we forget the essential first step: being friendsof ourselves. That is the crucial first step if we areto have good relationships with others. How can wehave good relationships with others if we don't evenhave good relationship with ourselves?
The problem might be worse than we expect. Maybewe don't like ourselves without realizing it. Here is a simple checklist; is there anything you don'tlike about yourself from these list?
Your past
Maybe you have made mistakes in the past which you feel bad about. You might bedisappointed with yourself on why you could make such mistakes. Even if that happened indistant past, your subconscious mind still has a reason not to like yourself.
Your background
You might wish that you were born in different family, or that you have different background.Maybe you could not accept the fact that you are not as lucky as others, who seem to getwhatever they want effortlessly because of their background.
Your personality traits
You might have some personality traits that you don't like. For example, you may be anintrovert and you don't like it; you wish you are an extrovert.
Your achievements relative to others Others might have better achievements than you, and nomatter how hard you tried, it might seem impossible for you to match them. You might thenthink that it's because you are not smart enough or don't have enough talents. Is thereanything that resonate with you? All these give reasons to you not to like yourself. That in turnmakes it difficult for you to be a good friend to yourself.
Fortunately, there are always things you can do to fix the situation. Here are some tips:
1. Forgive yourself
You may have made those mistakes in the past, but is there anything you can do about them? Idon't think so, except learning from them. It's true that you are not perfect, but neither iseverybody else. It’s normal to make mistakes, so do yourself a favor by giving yourselfforgiveness.
2. Accept things you can't change
There are some things you cannot change, such as your background and your past. So learn toaccept them. You will feel much relieved if you treat things you can’t change the way theydeserve: just accept them, smile, and move on.
3. Focus on your strengths
Instead of focusing on your weaknesses, focus on your strengths. You always have somestrengths which give you a unique combination nobody else have. Recognize your strengthsand build your life around them.
Health Top Tips Nutrition Lifestyle
4. Write your success stories
One reason we may not like ourselves is we are too focused on what we don’t have that weforget about what we have. So make a list of your achievements; write your success stories.They do not have to be big things; there are a lot of small but important achievements in ourlife. For example, if you have some good friends, that’s already an achievement. If you have agood family, that is also an achievement.
5. Stop comparing yourself with others
You are unique. You can never be like other people, and neither can other people be like you.The way you measure your success is not determined by other people and what theyachieve. Instead, it is determined by your own life purpose. You have everything you need toachieve your life purpose, so it's useless to compare yourself with others.
6. Always be true to yourself
You don't like other people lying to you, right? Similarly, you won't like yourself if you know thatyou lie to yourself. Whether you realize it or not, that gives your mind a reason not to likeyourself. That’s why it's important to always be true to yourself. In whatever you do, be honestand follow your conscience. Remember this quote by Abraham Lincoln:
I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end . . . I have lost everyother friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside ofme.

Stretch: How to future-proof yourself for tomorrow’sworkplace Karie Willyerd and Barbara Mistick Wiley17.99; $23.70
《伸展力:如何为未来的职场做好准备》(Stretch: How to future-proof yourself for tomorrow’sworkplace),卡里威利尔德(Karie Willyerd)和芭芭拉猠斯蒂克威利(Barbara Mistick Wiley)著,售价17.99英镑/23.70美元
I read this book believing it was something else. The title suggests the authors know which jobswill be in demand in the future. Great, I thought, this might help me guide my three-year-oldinto becoming a robot adviser, or whatever the new growth area is going to be. But sadly, theauthors do no such thing. Perhaps it is for the best — who takes their parents’ advice after all?
读这本书的时候,我觉得这应该是本不落窠臼的书。书的标题暗示两位作者知道未来什么样的工作是有需求的。太好了,我心想,这本书或许能够帮助我引导我3岁的孩子成为一名机器人顾问,或者进入任何未来将蓬勃发展的领域。遗憾的是,作者们并没有提供这样的答案。或许这终归是件好事——毕竟谁会听从父母的建议呢?
That point is illustrated in the book by a story about Max Nimoy who advised his son to gain apractical skill to serve him well throughout his life. But Leonard Nimoy ignored his father’ssuggestion that he learn to play the accordion and instead went on to become an actor, mostfamously playing Spock in Star Trek.
这本书用一个故事说明了这一点。马克斯尼莫伊(Max Nimoy)曾建议儿子伦纳德尼莫伊(Leonard Nimoy,见上图)学一门实用的技能,这样伦纳德终生都能过得衣食无忧。但伦纳德不顾父亲的建议学习了手风琴,并且在之后成为了一名演员,他饰演过的最有名的角色是《星际迷航》(Star Trek)中的斯波克(Spock)。
This is a book for anyone who has used the new year to take stock of their professionaldevelopment and plan their next move.
任何在新年中盘点了自己的职业发展情况并且为下一步怎么走做出了规划的人都可以看看这本书。
A point brought home to me personally with the opening anecdote about a washed-upjournalist, who despite winning multiple Pulitzer prizes and reporting all over the world, failedto read the signs about social media and personal branding. He was sacked and found himselfunmarketable.
全书开头的一段轶闻让我个人颇有所感。这段轶闻与一名事业宣告失败的记者有关,尽管他曾多次荣获普利策(Pulitzer)奖,在全球各地进行报道,但他没能捕捉到社交媒体和建立个人品牌的信号。他被解雇了,并且发现他无法将自己推销出去。
What he needed, say the authors of this book, was “stretchpertise”: “the professional ability tocreatively restructure and repurpose in order to adjust to changing environmental demands.”We all need to learn on the fly, the authors argue, to be open, create a network and gatherdiverse experiences. As Marshall Goldsmith, the executive coach, is quoted as saying: “Whatgot you here won’t get you there.” The authors say the question is not whether you have a sell-by date. (You do.) Rather, it is how to extend the shelf life of your skills. After all, work isunpredictable and always changing because of emerging technologies, globalisation, short-term contracts and part-time work.
本书的作者们表示,这名记者需要“伸展力”:“为了适应不断改变的环境需求,进行创造性重构和改变目标的专业能力。”两位作者主张,我们都需要在工作中迅速学习,保持开放,建立人脉,积累多样的经历。用高管教练马歇尔戈德史密斯(Marshall Goldsmith)话来说:“让你抵达此处的东西不会让你抵达彼处。”作者们表示,问题不在于你是否有保质期(的确有),而在于如何延长你的技能的保质期。毕竟,由于新技术的兴起、全球化、短期合同和兼职工作,工作是不可预测且时时变化的。
This book leads you step by step through appraising your working future. There are tips such asto check in with yourself quarterly. Set calendar reminders such as “lead a project team byJuly 15th, 2016”.
这本书引导你一步步地评估你职业生涯的未来。书中包含一些小建议,比如每季度进行自我检查。在日历上设定一些提醒,比如“在2016年7月15日前领导一个项目团队”。
They suggest stretching your abilities. Such tips are reminders rather than being particularlysurprising — do not sit back and rest on your laurels; ask for unvarnished feedback from peoplewho do not feel bullied into being nice about you; build diverse networks that might refineyour thinking about jobs and career development.
作者们建议伸展你的能力。以下这样的建议并不出奇,更多是一种提醒:不要躺在过去的成就上睡大觉;向那些不感到被迫要对你表现友善的人寻求一些真实的反馈;建立多样的人脉网络,这可能完善你对工作和职业发展的思路。
Although exercises such as finding five people who can help you “become a better person”might be a step too earnest for some readers, I particularly liked the suggestion of practisingways to feel comfortable in new environments, such as eating new cuisines. Rebranding atakeaway as a career development tool is new to me.
尽管作者建议的一些练习对某些读者来说可能有点太郑重其事了(比如找到5个能够帮助你“变得更好”的人),但有一个建议我特别喜欢,就是练习各种有助于提高你适应新环境能力的方法(比如尝试各种新菜)。把外卖变成一种职业发展工具的想法让我耳目一新。
There are chapters too on resilience and anecdotes designed to make you feel good — forexample, Jack Ma’s application to the newly opened Kentucky Fried Chicken in his home town.Twenty-four people applied for jobs. Twenty-three were accepted. Yep, you guessed it, poor MrMa got turned down. Yet it turned out well for the founder of e-commerce site Alibaba, who isnow one of the richest men in China.
书中还有些章节讲述抗压能力,包含了一些旨在让你感觉良好的轶闻,比如,马云(Jack Ma)曾申请在他的家乡新开业的肯德基(KFC)工作。一共有24个申请人。23人都获得了录取。是的,你猜对了,可怜的马云被拒绝了。然而,他最终的结果是好的,作为电商网站阿里巴巴(Alibaba)的创始人,他现在是中国最富有的人士之一。
I doubt he did it through reading a book such as this, but it is a worthwhile guide on how torefresh your career and skills.
我想马云并不是靠阅读这样一本书才成功的,但关于如何让你的职业和技能焕发新活力,这本书提供了有益的指导。

So that no one gets their GPA messed up because they might have been celebrating a bit too much this week, anyone who would like to opt1 out of the final exam today will receive a 'B' for the course."
“我要说的是,这个学期能够教你们我感到非常荣幸。我明白你们都很努力,你们中的许多人在暑假之后就要去医学院深造了。为了避免同学们因为参与本周末过多的庆祝活动而影响了学习成绩,所以有谁愿意放弃这次考试,就可以得‘B’。”
There was much rejoicing amongst the class as students got up, passed by the professor to thank him and sign out on his offer. As the last taker left the room, the professor looked out over the handful of remaining students and asked, "Any one else? This is your last chance." One final student rose up and took the offer.
许多学生异常惊喜,一个接一个地站了起来,从教授身边走过,对他表示感谢,并在纸上签了名。等到最后一个选择放弃的学生走出教室后,教授看着剩下的同学问:“还有吗?这是你们的最后机会了。”终于,还是有一名同学站了起来,接受了建议。
The professor closed the door and took attendance of those students remaining. "I'm glad to see you believe in yourself." he said. "You all have 'A' s."
教授关上门,清点了一下剩余的同学,说道:“我非常高兴看到你们能够相信自己,你们都得‘A’。”

摘要:因为如果我没有停止等待,我还会被困住,尝试去说服乔一起去澳大利亚,也不知道是否有机会去看世界。
“Joe, did you book your ticket yet?” I asked.
我问:“乔,你订票了吗?”
“No. I changed my mind. I’m not going to go.”
“没有,我改主意了,我不打算去了。”
“What? You aren’t going to Australia? We’ve been planning this vacation for months!”
“什么?你决定不去澳大利亚了吗?我们已经为这个度假准备了几个月啊。”
“Yeah, I don’t feel like it. We’ll go some other time.”
“是的,我不想去了。我们以后再去吧。”
遇见最真实的自己
Over the coming weeks, I attempted to get my friend to reconsider, but to no avail. When Joe changed his mind, he changed his mind. Our trip to Australia – our big post-college adventure – was off. And none of my friends wanted to replace him. If I wanted to travel, it would have to be on my own.
接下来的几个星期里,我试着让朋友再重新考虑一下,但没有奏效。乔改变了想法和决定。我们去澳大利亚的旅程,也是我们的毕业旅行,泡汤了。其他朋友里面也没有想替代乔的人。如果我想去旅行,我一定要自己一个人去。
It’s a pattern that has repeated itself over the years. While a few people have joined me along the way. But when it comes down to the wire, something always comes up, they’re suddenly too busy, or they get cold feet and change their mind.
这种模式已经持续了好多年。有人想和我一起旅行,但到了准备出发的那一刻,总有些麻烦出现,他们太忙了或者临阵退缩再就是改变主意了。
It’s taught me that if I wait for others, I’ll never go anywhere.
这教会了我,如果再继续等别人,那我哪里都去不了了。
But there are places I want to go, people to see, experiences to have, and food to try — and only so much time to accomplish it all.
但是有些地方我想去,有些人我想见,有些经历我想体验,有些美食我想去品尝……只有这么点时间来完成这一切。
So I refuse to wait – I won’t let others keep me from realizing my dreams.
因此我拒绝等待——我不想别人陪我实现梦想。
It can bescary
traveling alone – especially when you’ve never done it before. But, to me, growing old without experiencing everything you want from life is scarier.
一个人独自旅行会很害怕,特别是如果你之前没有这样做过。但是,对我来说,随着年龄的增长,人生中想体验的却没有去经历会更可怕。
If you’ve been putting off a trip because you’re waiting for someone to go with – stop. Just go. Don’t let others hold you back from your dreams. Trust me, along the way you’ll make plenty of friends – from other solo travelers who thought “Screw it, if I don’t go, I’ll never go” to locals interested in meeting new people. You’re never alone when you travel.
如果你已经因为等待某人而推迟了旅行,那么拒绝等他吧。出发去旅行,不要让任何人阻碍你追寻梦想的脚步。相信我,一路上你会遇到很多朋友——从其他觉得“算了,如果我不去就再也不会去了”的独自旅行的人,到对新面孔充满好奇的当地人。独自旅行一路上并不孤单。
More than that, solo travel gives you ultimate freedom. You wake up and it’s just you – what you want, where you want, when you want. In that freedom and infinite space of possibility, you meet yourself. You hit the limits of what you like and don’t like. There’s no one to pull you in any one direction or override
your reasons. Want sushi? Get sushi. Want to leave? Leave. Want to try bungee jumping? Go for it.
不止那些,独自旅行会给你无尽的自由。起床,全部由你来做决定——想要什么、想去哪里、什么时候做什么,都听自己的。自由世界,无穷尽的自由,你遇见的是你自己。喜欢什么、不喜欢什么自己来决定。没有人会把你朝某个方向推或是否决你。想吃寿司?那就去吃吧。想走了?那就走吧。想去玩蹦极?那就去吧。
It’s sink or swim and you have to learn how to survive – who to trust, how to make friends, how to find your way around alone. That’s the greatest reward of solo travel – the personal growth. Each time you go away, you learn to become a little more independent, confident, and in tune with your emotions and desires.
潜水或游泳,你要学会如何生存——该相信谁、怎样交朋友、一个人如何找路。独自旅行最大的奖励的就是个人的成长。每出行一次,你都会变得更独立、自信、遵从内心和欲望。
Solo travel is not for everyone. Some people return home soon after departing, others cry for weeks before embracing it, and some just embrace
it right away. But you’ll never learn that if you don’t travel once by yourself. Whether a weekend away, a two-week vacation or trip around the world, try it at least once.
独自旅行不是针对每一个人。有些人出发没多久就立马回家,有些人在出发之前会哭很久,也有一些人会立刻接受独自旅行。但是如果你从未有过独自旅行的经历,你永远也学不会。不论是离开一、两周的假期或是一个短途的世界游,至少尝试一次。
Don’t wait for people or hold back from living your dreams. You could be waiting a long time until someone finally says “yes.” There’s only now and if you don’t go, you’ll regret it.
不要为了等他人或是停滞自己追寻梦想的脚步。你可能会等很久直到别人最后说:“好。”只有现在,如果你说不去,会后悔的。
Because if I hadn’t stopped waiting, I’d still be in my cubicle
, trying to convince Joe to go to Australia, and wondering if I’d ever get to see the world.
因为如果我没有停止等待,我还会被困住,尝试去说服乔一起去澳大利亚,也不知道是否有机会去看世界。

永远记住,这个世界上只有一个你,人们都喜欢真实的你。下面是读文网小编为大家带来英语经典美文:做你自己,希望大家喜欢!
我小时候最喜欢在爷爷的农场里度过每个星期天的下午。爷爷的农场在宾夕法尼亚州西部。农场四周都围上了绵延几英里的石墙。房子和谷仓给我这个城市男孩带来了无穷的快乐时光。我习惯了城里整洁的客厅,似乎在低声说:“不要摸!”。
我仍能记得我8岁那年一天下午的情景。因为我第一次去农场,所以我很想上那农场四周的那些石墙。可我的父母是绝不会同意的。这些墙年深日,有的石头不见了,有的石头松动倒塌了。然而,我渴望这些墙的欲望非常强烈。一个春天的下午,我鼓足勇气,走进客厅,大人们午饭后都聚在这里。
“我,呃,我想爬那石墙,”我犹豫地说道。大家都抬起头。“我能去爬那些石墙吗?”屋里的女人们马上齐声叫了起来。“天哪,不能!”她们惊慌地叫首,“你会伤着自己的!”我并没有太失望,我早就预料会是这样的回答。但还没等我离开客厅,爷爷低沉的声音拦住了我。“等一会儿,”我听到他说“让孩子爬那些石墙吧。他必须学会自己做一些事。”
“快走吧,”他对我眨眨眼说。“你回来后找我。”接下来的两个半小时,我爬上了这些古老的石墙,别提有多肝硬变。后来,我把自己冒险经历告诉了爷爷。我永远也不会忘记他说过的话。“弗雷德,”他咧着嘴笑道。“你做了一回自己,你让这个日子因此而变得不同凡响。永远记住,整个世界只有一个你,而且我喜欢真实的你。”
许多年过去了,现在我主持的电视节目《罗杰斯先生的街坊四邻》,全美国几百万儿童都会收看。几年过后,节目已经发生了一些变化,但有一点没变:几乎每期节日后我都会传递给孩子这样一个信息,“这个世界上只有一个你,人们都喜欢真实的你。”

成功和失败都取决于你的选择。所以你要考虑前面所有的道路,决定选择走哪一条。然后相信你自己,起身,出发。下面是读文网小编为大家带来英语经典美文:爷爷的一封信。希望大家喜欢!
One day, a young man was cleaning out his late grandfather's belongings when he came across a bright red envelope. Written on the front were the words, "To my grandson." Recognizing his grandfather's handwriting, the boy opened the envelope. A letter inside read:
有一天,一位年轻人在整理他已故祖父的遗物时,偶然发现了一个鲜红色的信封。信封上面写着“我的孙子亲启”。年轻人认出是他祖父的笔迹,就打开了那个信封,里面的信写着:
Dear Ronny,
亲爱的罗尼,
Years ago you came to me for help. You said, "Grandpa, how is it that you've accomplished so much in your life? You're still full of energy, and I'm already tired of struggling. How can I get that same enthusiasm that you've got?"
多年前,你向我寻求帮助。你问:“爷爷,您是怎么在一生中取得那么大的成就?您仍旧充满活力,而我已经厌倦了奋斗。我怎样才能像您那样充满活力?”
I didn't know what to say to you then. But knowing my days are numbered, I figure that I owe you an answer. So here is what I believe.
那时候我不知道怎样回答你。我知道我剩下的日子不多了,我觉得我欠你一个回答。以下就是我所深信不疑的。
I think a lot of it has to do with how a person looks at things. I call it 'keeping your eyes wide open.'
我认为保持活力与一个人如何看待事情息息相关。我把这称为“保持开阔的眼界”。
First, realize that life is filled with surprises, but many are good ones. If you don't keep watching for them, you'll miss half the excitement. Expect to be thrilled once in a while, and you will be.
首先,你要意识到生活充满意想不到的事情,而且大部分是惊喜。如果你没有留意他们,你将失去生活一半的喜悦。期待着时不时感受到惊喜吧,你一定会的。
When you meet up with challenges, welcome them. They'll leave you wiser, stronger, and more capable than you were the day before. When you make a mistake, be grateful for the things it taught you. Resolve to use that lesson to help you reach your goals.
当你遇到挑战时,乐意地接受他们。他们会令你比以往变得更加聪明、坚强和能干。当你犯错误时,是要感激从中学到的教训,下定决心要利用这些教训来帮助你达成目标。
And always follow the rules. Even the little ones. When you follow the rules, life works. If you think you ever really get by with breaking the rules, you're only fooling yourself.
总是按规则办事,即便是一些小的规则也要遵守。当你遵守规则,生活就会顺心。如果你认为不遵守规则也能混得过去,那你只是在愚弄自己。
It's also important to decide exactly what you want. Then keep your mind focused on it, and be prepared to receive it.
明确自己的追求也很重要。明确以后就要专注的投入其中,准备好迎接他。
But be ready to end up in some new places too. As you grow with the years, you'll be given bigger shoes to fill. So be ready for endings as well as challenging beginnings.
做好准备适应新的阶段。随着年龄的增长,你也会被赋予更多的机会。因此,既要准备结束,又要挑战开始。
Sometimes we have to be brave enough to move from the familiar to the unfamiliar. Life isn't just reaching peaks. Part of it is moving from one peak to the next. If you rest too long in between, you might be tempted to quit. Leave the past in the past. Climb the next mountain and enjoy the view.
有时我们要勇敢的从熟悉的环境走向未知的环境。生活不只是攀上顶峰,从一个顶峰到达下一个顶峰也是生活的一部分。如果你在这过程中停留了太久,那就很有可能会放弃。让过去的留在过去。攀登下一个高峰,欣赏新的风景。
Dump things that weigh you down emotionally and spiritually. When an old resentment, belief, or attitude becomes heavy, lighten your load. Shed those hurtful attitudes that slow you down and drain your energy.
扔掉仍你情绪低落的事情。当旧的怨恨,信仰或态度变得沉重,那么不妨轻装上阵吧。摒弃那些不良的态度,他们只会让你步伐缓慢,耗尽你的精力。
Remember that your choices will create your successes and your failures. So consider all the pathways ahead, and decide which ones to follow. Then believe in yourself, get up, and get going.
记住,成功和失败都取决于你的选择。所以你要考虑前面所有的道路,决定选择走哪一条。然后相信你自己,起身,出发。
And be sure to take breaks once in a while. They'll give you a renewed commitment to your dreams and a cheerful, healthy perception of the things that matter the most to you.
一定要时不时休息一下,休息让你重新投入你的梦想,对人生最重要的事物有一个积极健康的认识。
Most important of all, never give up on yourself. The person that ends up a winner is the one who resolves to win. Give life everything you've got, and life will give its best back to you.
最重要的是,千万不能放弃。最终成为赢家的人是那些决心要赢的人。把你拥有的一切贡献给生活,生活也会把最好的一切回馈给你。

(Areas that you perceive that you need improvement in,whether it be work habits,business knowledge,communication,etc. Any potential weakness must be spun into a positive answer which converts it into a potential strength.)
例如:
我有时对自己要求过于严格。(I tend to drive myself too hard.)
我对别人的能力期望过高。(I expect others to perform beyond their capacities.)
我喜欢速战速决。(I like to see a job done quickly.)

生活有时候困难得难以置信,但又不容置疑。我们面临的挑战与困境似乎无法抵御,试图毁灭我们生活,甚至使你犹疑是否继续走下去。但是你总有选择的余地。从人生低谷走向新生活的杰西卡·赫斯乐普,在这里与我们分享她启迪心灵、充满震撼力的生活之旅。
In 2012 I had the worst year of my life.
2012年是我生活中最艰难的一年。
I worked in a finance job that I hated and I lived in a concrete jungle city with little greenery. I occupied my time with meaningless relationships and spent copious quantities of money on superficialities. I was searching for happiness and had no idea where to find it.
我做着讨厌的财务工作,住在难寻绿色的高楼林立的城市。我忙于无意义的交往,在一些肤浅表面的东西上大笔开销。我寻找快乐,却又不知道它在哪里。
Then I fell ill with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and became virtually bed bound. I had to quit my job and subsequently was left with no income. I lived with my boyfriend of then only 3 months who financially supported me and our relationship was put under great pressure. I eventually regained my physical health, but not long after that I got a call from my family at home to say that my father’s cancer had fiercely progressed and that he had been admitted to a hospice.
然后我患上了慢性疲劳综合症,几乎到了卧床不起的地步。我不得不辞掉工作,同时也就断了财源。我和那时仅相处了3个月的男友住在一起,经济上完全依赖于他,我们的关系承受着巨大压力。终于我恢复健康,但不久,我接到家里的电话,父亲的癌症急剧恶化,已经住进了临终关怀中心。
I left the city and I went home to be with him.
我离开了城市,回家陪父亲。
He died 6 months later.
6个月之后,他去世了。
My father was a complete inspiration to me. He was always so strong that, for a minute after he drew his last breath, I honestly thought he would come back to life. I couldn’t believe I would never again cuddle into his big warm chest and feel safe no matter what.
父亲的事让我彻底清醒。他一直很强壮,在他咽气之后一分钟里,我真的认为,他会活过来。我不能相信,我再也不能依偎在他温暖的怀抱里,享受他宽大的胸怀带给我的安全感。
The grief that followed was intense for all of us 5 children and our mother, but we had each other.
母亲和我们5个兄弟姐妹极为难过,但至少我们还拥有彼此。
But my oldest sister at that time complained of a bad back. It got so bad after 2 months that she too was admitted to hospital.
但是,那时我大姐开始抱怨着背痛,2个月后,因疼痛加剧也住进了医院。
They discovered that she had highly advanced cancer in her bones and that there was nothing that they could do.
医生们检查发现,她已是骨癌晚期,对此他们已无能为力。
She died 1 month later.
1个月之后,她也走了。
I could never put into words the loss of my sister in my life.
大姐的逝去让我陷入难以形容的痛苦之中。
She was a walking, talking angel and my favourite person in the whole world. If someone could have asked me the worst thing that could ever happen, it would have been losing her.
在这个世界上,她是一个能走路、会说话的天使,我最喜欢的人。如果有人问我,世界上发生的最坏的事情是什么,那就是失去她。
She was my soul-mate and I never thought I would journey this lifetime without her.
她是我的灵魂伴侣,我从来没有想过,我会走过没有她陪伴的生命旅程。
The Moment Of Deliberate Choice
抉择时刻
The shock and extreme heart break brought me to my knees. The pain was so great and my world just looked desolate. I had no real home, no money, no job, and no friends that cared. Not one person had even sent me a sympathy card for my loss.
我被打击和极度的心痛击挎了。强烈的痛苦使世界在我眼中变得如此凄凉。我没有真正意义上的家,没有钱,没有工作,也没有关心我的朋友。没有一个人因我失去亲人而寄给我慰问卡。
I made an attempt of my own life and I ended up in hospital.
我尝试着活下去,结果住进了医院。
I remember lying in the hospital bed, looking up at the ceiling and seeing my sister’s beautiful face. She stayed with me all night long.
我记得,躺在病床上,看着天花板,看到姐姐美丽的面庞。她整夜守候着我。
I realised during that night that I had a choice. I could choose to end my life or I could choose to live it.
那天晚上,我意识到我可以选择。要么结束生命,要么活下去。
I looked in my sister’s eyes and I made a decision not to go with her just yet. That I would stay and complete my journey here.
望着姐姐的眼睛,我决定不跟她走。我要留下来,走完我的生命旅程。
I also made the decision that, I wouldn’t just live any life. I would live the life that I absolutely LOVE and nothing less.
同时,我还决定,不只为生活而生活,我要完全以自己想要的方式生活。
In that moment, the clarity that descended around me was like a light shining in a dark room for the first time. As if the earth’s plates had shifted under my feet and everything suddenly looked real for the first time.
在那一刻,这一想法第一次清晰得如同一盏在黑暗闪烁的明灯。好像脚下的地球版块变换了,每一样东西在我眼前都真实得前所未有。
The Blossoms Of My Newly Chosen Life
我的生活之花重新绽放了
Since then I have begun to shape the most beautiful life for myself.
从那时起,我开始为自己塑造最美丽的生活。
I now live in an adorable stone cottage in a stunningly green, luscious region of the UK amongst woodlands and lakes.
现在,我住在英国一栋迷人的小石屋里,绿树掩映,与湖为伴,景色美丽宜人。
I have a deeply harmonious, joyful relationship with my amazing boyfriend, who’s gone through all this with me and we are very happy together.
我的男友很好,我们的关系和谐美好,他曾伴我度过那段艰难时期,现在我们一起分享着快乐。
I write a blog that inspires others to live the life that they love. It is what I know I was born to do and it truly makes my heart sing.
我写博客,激励他人过他们喜欢的生活。我知道这是我生来要做的事情,它真正使我感受到发自内心的快乐。
I am making new friends with beautiful souls all around the world.
我和世界上有着美好心灵的人交朋友。
I practise gratitude for my life every single day and I feel the abundance in everything I have now.
每一天,我满怀对生活的感激之情,我满足于我现在拥有的一切。
I spend quality time with the rest of my precious family and cherish every moment I have with them.
我与心爱的家人共度快乐时光,珍惜与他们相处的每一刻。
I have written a bucket list and am already manifesting so much of which I have always dreamed.
我列出愿望清单,它很大程度上体现了我一直以来梦想。
I connect with my heart often to ensure that I am always following my joy.
我时常与心交流,确保做着喜欢的事。
I love myself more deeply every day.
我一天比一天更爱自己。
I live authentically now.
现在我真正地活着。
Waking Up
清醒
It took something powerfully transformative in my life to make me wake up. Wake up to some fundamental truths of life.This life is a gift if you want to accept it. No matter what the obstacle, you can make your life abundant with joy and you can live authentically.
生活中一些重大变化使我清醒,使我意识到生活的基本真理。如果你愿意接受生活,它就是礼物。无论遭遇任何困难,你总能让生活充满快乐,真正地生活。
Not a day goes by when I don’t miss my father’s huge character or my beloved sister’s gentle brown eyes, but I know that I will be with them one day for an eternity. What I have now is so precious and so fleeting that I must grasp the joy in every moment I can, and treat it as the gift that it is.
没有哪一天,我不思念父亲温暖的怀抱或至爱的姐姐温柔的棕色眼睛,但是,我知道,终有一天我会与他们相聚。我现在拥有的是如此珍贵、如此易逝,我必须尽情享受每一刻的欢愉,将其视为上帝的馈赠。
You choose life every day. But do you choose the life that you love every day?
每一天,你选择生活。但是,你是否每一天都过着想要的生活?
