原文作者:David Cannon,
There's already a lot here and you probably stopped reading, but I couldn't resist writing a note to my 23 year old self:
已經(jīng)寫(xiě)得夠多了莫鸭,你可能看不下去了,但是我停不下來(lái)网棍,有太多的事想寫(xiě)給23歲的我了黔龟。
If you do anything, do this first one: learn how to work hard and stick with something. Learn how to turn off Facebook and control your addiction to social media. You'll instantly be ahead of a majority of your generation.
無(wú)論做任何事,先做這第一個(gè):學(xué)會(huì)如何努力和堅(jiān)持做事滥玷。知道如何關(guān)閉Facebook和控制對(duì)社交媒體的上癮程度。你會(huì)馬上和同齡人拉開(kāi)很大的距離巍棱。
Video games are a time sink. If you can play for an hour and say "That was fun, let's do something else" then you're ok. Otherwise, just get rid of them.
電子游戲是個(gè)時(shí)間陷阱惑畴。如果你一天玩一個(gè)小時(shí),之后說(shuō)“很好玩航徙,不過(guò)我現(xiàn)在要做別的事了如贷。”那你是沒(méi)事的。否則的話杠袱,趕緊擺脫它吧尚猿。
Pick up an athletic hobby that you can do through the years, or your sedentary academic lifestyle will do horrible things to your posture, back, and gut.
培養(yǎng)一個(gè)可以堅(jiān)持好多年的體育類(lèi)愛(ài)好,否則你久坐不動(dòng)的生活方式會(huì)對(duì)你的姿勢(shì)楣富,背部和腸胃造成傷害凿掂。

學(xué)會(huì)處理人際關(guān)系的矛盾。理解關(guān)鍵對(duì)話和實(shí)踐-這會(huì)改變你的生活纹蝴。
Learn as much programming as you can. It's never a bad idea to learn a programming language (unless that language is COBOL—just kidding, you can even make money coding in COBOL). I've foundTreehouseis worth the investment.
盡可能的多學(xué)編程語(yǔ)言庄萎。學(xué)一門(mén)編程從來(lái)不是壞主意。(除非是COBOL塘安,開(kāi)玩笑的啦糠涛,你甚至可以通過(guò)編程賺錢(qián)。)我發(fā)現(xiàn)樹(shù)屋非常值得投資兼犯。
Learn how to display data in R.
學(xué)習(xí)如何用R語(yǔ)言顯示數(shù)據(jù)忍捡。
Learn how to talk on the phone with people you don't know. It still terrifies most people. Get a phone sales job and quit after a few weeks.

Start some kind of little side venture to learn entrepreneurial principles. Start a window washing business, buy and sell stuff on Craigslist, do anything. You might need them if you're in between jobs.
開(kāi)始一些小小的嘗試來(lái)了解創(chuàng)業(yè)的原則绕娘。開(kāi)啟個(gè)窗戶洗滌業(yè)務(wù)脓规,在Craigslist上賣(mài)點(diǎn)東西。你待業(yè)的時(shí)候可能會(huì)需要它們险领。
Take a course on statistics and how they're misused, specifically how faulty causal arguments are made. It will change the way you approach almost any discussion, quantitative or not. (ReadHow to Lie with Statistics: Darrell Huff)
學(xué)習(xí)一些統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)的知識(shí)以及它們是怎么被誤用的侨舆,具體的論證是如何產(chǎn)生的。它會(huì)改變你應(yīng)對(duì)辯論的方式绢陌,以及各種數(shù)學(xué)等等挨下。
Always have a private place where you can talk out loud to God every day. Even if you're not religious or don't believe in God. Talk out loud to the universe. Sort out your thoughts, verbalize them, and then write down what comes to mind. Something wiser than you is listening and responding, even if it's just another side of you.
總要有個(gè)隱秘的地方可以讓你每天和上帝大聲的交流。即使你不信宗教也不信上帝脐湾。和宇宙大生交談臭笆。選出你的想法,用語(yǔ)言表達(dá)出來(lái)秤掌,然后把腦子里浮現(xiàn)的東西寫(xiě)下來(lái)愁铺。比你更明智的事是傾聽(tīng)和回應(yīng),即使只是另一面的你闻鉴。
Usehttp://Mint.comto track your expenses. Make a budget and learn how to stick to it. Learn to live lean now while you can, so you won't be forced to later on.

Learn a foreign language, but only if you anticipate using it. Sure, there are side benefits, but you'll forget it.
學(xué)一門(mén)外語(yǔ)督勺,不過(guò)只是當(dāng)你用的上這門(mén)語(yǔ)言的時(shí)候。當(dāng)然斤贰,肯定有附帶的好處智哀,不過(guò)你會(huì)忽略的。

每個(gè)禮拜看一本書(shū)。當(dāng)你變得非常富有的時(shí)候专钉,每天看一本書(shū)挑童。或者看看小說(shuō)跃须。
