二十来岁时，你应该明白的道理

二十来岁，我们处于小孩和大人的转角，处于象牙塔和社会的边界。

迷茫、热血、期望、失落，面对这个光怪陆离的世界，我们想的很多，做的却很少；渴望远方，却也惧怕着外面的世界。

然而，外面的世界不一定很精彩，却一定少不了无奈。

在你二十来岁的时候，生活教会了你什么呢？

Love yourself

爱自己

Such a simple concept, but one that many are still unable to grasp. Loving someone more than yourself may seem like some huge selfless act. But believe me when I say that self love and self worth are the two more influential acts of all time – because it speaks for itself. Cliché but true. There is no need to prove when you love and that is the beauty of it. When you understand the importance of loving yourself, you make changes that will indirectly impact the lives of others.

如此简单的一个概念，但是至今许多人还是无法明白。爱别人胜过爱自己看起来好像是一种特别无私和伟大的行为，但其实自爱和自尊才是真正有价值且伟大的行为，因为爱别人的前提正是爱自己。但你爱上一个人时，这种爱更多是一种自然流露，无需双方去刻意证明和表现。当你真正懂得爱自己后，你也就会懂得如何去爱身边的人了！

Get out of that comfort zone

逃离舒适区

I know how addictive the comfort zone can get, it is a safe house. Walls are up high and we are kept safe from all the daggers and discomfort the world brings.

But is this what life is about? Digging a hole on the battlefield hoping to hide it out till the war is over. Life is about taking on the battle, pushing yourself to greater heights. You deserve a life of amazing adventures, stop hiding in your little cave. Go out, have fun, get hurt or fall but come back up and soldier on. Change should always be the constant, take that leap of faith.

大多数时候人们对于舒适和稳定都非常的向往和迷恋，有如此一个安全屋舒舒服服的待着谁愿意主动放弃和逃离呢！当人们躲在一个舒舒服服的区域，给自己筑起一道道围墙，好像这样就能躲避外界所有的危险压力和挑战。但是生活真的不是你以为的就是你以为的，在生活的战场上你的行为就像一个逃兵在战场上给自己挖个洞躲起来直到战争结束后再出来。生活这场战争要求我们每个人迎难而上，勇敢的走出舒适区去迎接各种挑战。生命只有一次，你的生命理应更加精彩。所以不要再每天重复着一样的日子还一边抱怨着为什么我不能去追逐诗和远方，你要做的是放下无用的抱怨说走就走，去经历去看这个世界，然后以一个战士的姿态重拾你的工作和生活。面对一成不变的生活，永远要抱着一颗随时改变和调整的态度，勇敢的走出你的舒适区，才能迎来人生更美丽的风景。永远要记住，熟悉的地方没有风景！

Be grateful

感恩的心

I cannot stress enough the importance of being grateful. No matter how rich or poor, I know that most of us are at the very least, fortunate enough to have a roof over our heads. In the midst of our crazy lives or even a bad day, we tend to forget how fortunate we are. Being grateful about the smallest things in life reminds you not to take what you have for granted. You will tend to appreciate the things you have in life and in turn become happier as a person.

感恩永远是最需要提醒的一件事情。无论人们贫穷还是富有，至少我们大多数人都有一个可以遮风挡雨的房子一个温暖的家，这本身就是一件非常幸运的事情。可惜在生活中我们常常忘记了这一点。所以一颗感恩的心会时刻提醒你拥有的一切都不是想当然的，它会让你懂得珍惜我们所拥有的一切。就像张悬的那首歌唱的一样，我们拥有的都是侥幸，失去的都是人生！懂得感恩的人总是会欣赏和感激生活中遇见的人和事，同时自己也会成为那个更加快乐幸福的人！

Things happen for a reason

任何事情的发生都是有原因的

I believe that everything happens for a reason and for reasons unknown, we shall not question. We humans try to seek answers and make reason for everything. When something doesn’t go our way, we start to question life, ourselves or even a higher power. Give life your best shot. Stop trying to find what went wrong and how you can ‘try to fix things’. Things happen for a reason, sometimes its best to leave it that way.

我总是相信任何事情的发生总是有某些原因的，所以我就不会再追问到底。人们已经习惯了任何事情都要找出一个答案，每件事情都要找一个原因。每当事情没有按照我们的想象发生，我们就会开始质疑自己和人生。当一件事情结果已定，我们就不要再追究到底，一直折磨自己和别人。生活中所有的事情的发生总是有原因的，而且有的结果是我们本身无法控制的，所以对于我们改变不了的结果和事情就要学会接受，放手随它去吧！

Be Positive

积极乐观

Honestly, no one likes a grumpy soul. Be positive and emit positive energy to those around you. No matter how bad your day can get, the ones around do not deserved to be dragged to hell alongside with you. Give yourself that positivity, look on the bright side of situations. Everyone deserves positive energy in their lives.

老实说没有人会喜欢一个整天抱怨满是悲伤的人。所以要做一个积极乐观的人，同时将积极的正能量传递给你身边的每一个人。不论你自己过得如何不开心，但是你身边的人都不该也被你拖进这种悲伤痛苦的深渊。每天给自己一些正能量，学着看到事情好的一面。生活中学会以积极乐观的态度去面对一切，将快乐传递给身边的人，这样你也会收获快乐。

You are always a work in progress

你总是在进步

You are always a work in progress and know that, that is not a bad thing! Always allow yourself room for errors and room to grow. The world can be cruel, people may turn their backs on you. But the only person you need to have faith in is yourself. Take on the highs and lows of life, you are stronger than you think you are.

你总是在进步的，知道这一点其实是一件好事。因为你总是会给自己留下改正错误和成长进步的机会和空间。世界其实非常残酷，总有些人会选择离你而去。但是没关系你唯一需要相信的人就是你自己，独自一人经历过了人生的起起伏伏，就会发现其实你比自己想象的还要坚强。

杜秋娘的一句“劝君莫惜金缕衣，劝君惜取少年时”，我们耳熟能详，但真的有做到吗？

希望大家在新的一年里，能学习更多，成长更多。
