These are the most difficult things I've learnt/am still learning.
这些是我学到过而且还在学的最难的事。
1. There are always going to be people who are smarter, better looking, more sociable, and just all around "better" than you. In fact, you'll learn there are LOTS of people who fit that description. To be happy, then, you have to learn to accept yourself and your shortcomings.
总会有人比你更聪明，更好看，更会交际，或者是什么都比你好。事实上，你会知道有很多人都符合这一描述。
过得开心，然后，你得学会接受自己和自己的缺点。
2. Success does indeed come from hard work. Hard work without talent doesn't ensure success, but talent without hard work ensures mediocrity.
成功的确源于苦干。没有天赋的苦干不保证成功，但是没有苦干的天赋注定平庸。
3. It's unlikely you'll become anything close to your wildest ambitions, simply because you'll learn everyone has big ambitions, and there's only so many slots in this world.
你不可能接近你最远大的抱负，因为你会知道所有人都有巨大野心，而世界上只有那么点机会。
4. Idealism aside, money = opportunity and therefore matters. Relationships and power matter more.
理想主义放到一边，金钱=机会，所以它很重要。关系和权力更重要。
5. Friendship isn't forever. Social and economic status does create divides and strains in even the oldest relationships.
友谊不会天长地久。社会和经济地位的确会制造沟壑和张力，即使是在最长久的关系中。
6. Your parent(s) basically gave up their freedom to raise you, and deserve a medal. You know this because with only one job on your plate, you already have no time.
你的父母（们）基本上放弃了他们的自由来抚养你，他们值得一枚勋章。你开始了解这事是因为，当你还只有一个工作的时候，你就已经忙得不可开交了。
7. Adult life is about learning to live with ambiguity. Remember when you thought you'd have it all sorted out by 30? No. Whether it be your career, your relationships or your beliefs, you will always question whether you are making the right choices and will have to deal with regret.
成人生活就是学会模棱两可地生活。记得那个时候你以为在30岁之前你会把一切都搞清楚吗？不可能。不管是你的职业、你的关系、你的信仰，你总是会怀疑自己是不是做出了正确的选择，以后会不会后悔。
8. Metabolism slows.
新陈代谢会变慢。
I'm sure there's more, but that's all I've got for now..
我肯定还有更多，不过现在我就掌握了这些。
