What can I start doing now that will help me a lot in about five years?

Study hard and you will go far.

努力學習，你會走得更遠。

Talent alone is not enough! It is known that people with less talent work harder, and lots of talented people think that their talent will do all the job. Well guess what, it won't, because not working on your talent and not perfecting it is not respecting it (by receiving a talent you also receive responsibility). Hard workers are the successful ones, and if they are also talented they are destined to do great things.

單有才華也是不夠的。眾所周知，比較沒天賦的人工作得更努力，很多有才的人認為他們的才華可以勝任所有的工作。你猜怎么著？答案是不可以，因為不利用不完善就是不尊重自己的才華（有才華也意味著有責任）。努力工作的人是成功的人，如果他們剛好也是有才華的人，他們勢必能做偉大的事情。

Don't be too harsh on yourself or too self-critical, if you really feel you can't do something at this moment - take a break, make yourself comfortable, even spoil yourself a little.

不要對自己太苛刻或者太過自我批判了，如果你真覺得自己現在沒辦法做成某事——休息一下，讓你自己覺得舒服，甚至可以稍微放縱一下自己。
