“Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.” ~Henry David Thoreau
迷失自我铡恕，才能發(fā)現(xiàn)自我榨呆∨种颍——亨利·大衛(wèi)·梭羅（美國作家及自然主義者）

Everything about my future was ambiguously assumed. I would get into debt by going to college, then I would be forced to get a job to pay off that debt, while still getting into more and more debt by buying a house and a car. It seemed like a never-ending cycle that had no place for the possibility of a dream.
我們未來的一切似乎都模糊地設(shè)定好了拜效，利用貸款上大學(xué)创南，然后為了還債被迫去找一份工作巷屿，還要為了買房買車背負(fù)更多的債務(wù)……這仿佛是一個無休止的循環(huán)，讓我們的夢想沒有實現(xiàn)的機會滤蝠。

I want more—but not necessarily in the material sense of personal wealth and success. I want more out of life. I want a passion, a conceptual dream that wouldn’t let me sleep out of pure excitement. I want to spring out of bed in the morning, rain or shine, and have that zest for life that seemed so intrinsic in early childhood.
我們想要的更多——并不是對于個人財富和成功等物質(zhì)性需求豌熄，我們對于生活，想要更多物咳。我想要熱忱锣险、有概念的夢想，讓我不會空懷純粹的興奮入睡所森。我希望能在早晨一躍起床囱持，無論是陽光普照還是刮風(fēng)下雨夯接，也能對生活充滿熱情焕济，就像我們的童年時固有的一樣。

We all have a dream. It might be explicitly defined or just a vague idea, but most of us are so stuck in the muck of insecurity and self-doubt that we just dismiss it as unrealistic or too difficult to pursue.
我們都有夢想盔几，無論它是明確的目標(biāo)還是模糊的主意晴弃，但我們大多數(shù)人都受困于不安全和自我懷疑的泥濘里，我們把夢想看做是不現(xiàn)實的、難以追求的上鞠，最后放棄了际邻。

We become so comfortable with the life that has been planned out for us by our parents, teachers, traditions, and societal norms that we feel that it’s stupid and unsafe to risk losing it for the small hope of achieving something that is more fulfilling.
我們變得滿足于父母、老師芍阎、傳統(tǒng)及社會規(guī)條為我們營造的安逸生活世曾。為了那一點點能夠為生活變得更充實的希望去冒險，我們會認(rèn)為這是愚蠢和危險的谴咸。

“The policy of being too cautious is the greatest risk of all.” ~Jawaharlal Nehru
過于謹(jǐn)慎才是最大的危險——賈瓦哈拉爾·尼赫魯（印度開國總理）

Taking a risk is still a risk. We can, and will, fail. Possibly many, many, many times. But that is what makes it exciting for me. That uncertainty can be viewed negatively, or it can empower us.
冒險始終還是有風(fēng)險轮听。我們，也有可能失敗岭佳，還有可能是失敗很多很多次血巍。但這會讓我們更加興奮。不確定因素看起來有不利珊随，但同時也能激勵我們述寡。

Failing is what makes us grow, it makes us stronger and more resilient to the aspects of life we have no control over. The fear of failure, although, is what makes us stagnant and sad. So even though I couldn’t see the future as clearly as before, I took the plunge in hopes that in the depths of fear and failure, I would come out feeling more alive than ever before.
失敗能讓我們成長，讓我們更強大叶洞，讓我們更能適應(yīng)生活中難以控制的各個方面鲫凶。對于失敗的恐懼，讓我們停滯不前衩辟，悲傷不已掀序。盡管不能清晰地看見未來，在恐懼和失敗的深淵里惭婿，我們也要保持希望不恭，那么我們將活得更有生命力。

If you feel lost, just take a deep breath and realize that being lost can be turning point of finding out who you truly are, and what you truly want to do.
如果你迷失了自我财饥，請深呼吸换吧，迷失或許能成為你人生的轉(zhuǎn)折點，讓你發(fā)現(xiàn)真正的自己钥星，并讓你知道自己想真正成為怎樣的人沾瓦。
