献给20 几岁正在迷茫的人：时间已经不多了 1.If you can make a reasonable living doing what you love, DO WHAT YOU LOVE. You may not get rich, but you‘ll get to do what you love, and that‘s priceless. 如果你能以你喜欢做的事为职业，尽情投身其中吧。你可能不会赚很多钱，但做你想做的事 是无价的。 2.Don‘t merely exist… LIVE. Do not become overly comfortable with TV and YouTube as your primary sources of entertainment. Go places. Try new things. Follow your curiosities and passions. Take chances. Don‘t let fear and complacency stop you from a truly rewarding life. 不要只是生存在这个世界上——要努力生活。别把电视和YouTube 当成主要的娱乐项目。 去旅游、尝试新事物、追随你的好奇心和激情、冒险。别让惧怕和自满阻碍了你本该精彩无 限的人生。 3.The biggest disappointments in life are the result of misplaced expectations.

Don‘t be a slave to any substance, especially food. 无论何事都要把握‖度‖。不要变成任何事的奴隶，尤其是食物。 9.Avoid fatty, sugary foods. Eat your vegetables. Stick to a healthy balanced diet. 少吃油腻、糖分高的食物，多吃蔬菜。保持健康的饮食习惯。 10.Staying in shape is simpler than most people make it. Body fat is dictated by what you eat and your activity. In most cases, if you‘re overweight you‘re eating
