Call it life experience or the school of hard knocks, by 50 we all have the hindsight to know which decisions were good ones and which decisions were, well, a result of youthful na?veté.
到了50歲闸英,我們會后知后覺的意識到区丑,過往的決定哪些是正確的阶剑,而哪些又不是。這可以稱作人生經(jīng)驗或者生活磨練,又或許這就是年少無知的結(jié)果遇西。
But whether you're a firm believer in "everything happens for a reason" or you wish the brains at Google would develop a time machine, you've probably learned a thing or two from your failures.
也許你是個堅信“事出必有因”的因果論者能颁,也許你懊惱谷歌智囊為什么不發(fā)明個時光機(jī)器幫你重回青春……但不管怎樣,你可能已經(jīng)從失敗中吸取到一些教訓(xùn)了岩馍。
We asked our Facebook fans what they wish they'd known at 25 that they know now. Here's what they said every 20-something ought to know about life.
我們在臉書上對《赫芬頓郵報》的粉絲進(jìn)行了調(diào)查碉咆,詢問哪些事是他們現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)知道的,而希望25歲時就明白的蛀恩。以下所列的是他們認(rèn)為20多歲的人應(yīng)該知道的事疫铜。
1. Speak up more.
有想法就盡情說出來
As the saying goes, it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. You are your one and only true advocate, so never be afraid to stand up for yourself and speak your mind, because regret's a b****.
常言道:“會叫的孩子有糖吃”。你是自己唯一并且真正的擁護(hù)者双谆,所以不要害怕表達(dá)自己的想法壳咕,捍衛(wèi)自己的權(quán)益,因為世上沒有后悔藥顽馋。
2. Know when to walk away.
適時走開
Many readers voiced that walking away, while it may be a difficult decision, is sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself. And the quicker you can come to this realization, the more you can save yourself from making up for lost time.
許多讀者稱谓厘,離開可能是一個艱難的決定,但有時這是你最好的選擇寸谜。越早的認(rèn)清現(xiàn)實庞呕,就有越多的時間來彌補(bǔ)過失。
3. Save more money.
多存錢
Retirement is no joke, as you'll learn by 50. As you stare at the bleak reality of your 401K, you might find yourself counting every nickel and dime you wasted on frivolous expenses. So pack your lunch, find street parking (or take the bus) and remember that a penny saved is a penny earned, as cheesy as it sounds.
到了50歲程帕,你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)退休這件事真的不是玩笑住练。在了解了退休計劃的慘痛事實后,你可能會意識到過去無意中浪費掉的每一分錢都是種奢侈愁拭。所以從現(xiàn)在開始自帶午餐吧讲逛,將車停泊在街邊停車位,或者改乘公交車岭埠。這雖然聽起來很俗氣盏混,但記住:省錢就是賺錢惜论。
4. Re-think a college major.
慎重考慮大學(xué)專業(yè)
A few readers mentioned how they wish they'd re-considered their choice of college major, or even thought twice before dropping out.
有幾位讀者提到许赃,他們真希望能夠重新選擇大學(xué)專業(yè),而且退學(xué)前一定要三思馆类。
5. Travel more.
多旅游
You're only young once. So before you get tied down by responsibilities of a mortgage, a spouse and kids, it's a good idea to explore the world and all it has to offer (as long as it doesn't break the bank!). Consider working abroad. Visit the city you dream about all day. Just go somewhere that will make you look up and around rather than down at your smartphone.
青春只有一次混聊。所以在你被按揭貸款、婚姻和孩子束縛之前乾巧,多去看看世界句喜,不管花費多大代價那都是值得的预愤。可以考慮去海外工作咳胃。去你夢寐以求的城市旅游植康。去個能讓你抬頭看風(fēng)景而不是低頭看手機(jī)的城市。
