life lessons you will learn the hard way

人生必學的教訓

You have to break the rules sometimes.

有時你需要打破規則。

We follow rules so that things are in order and no one is disturbed unnecessarily. This is true in case of traffic and other company rules but when it comes to your life, there are rules made by people who are scared to do something apart from their routine and therefore they made rules to prevent others doing so. But when time passes by and you think you are not being directed towards your goal and these so called rules are your biggest obstacles, BREAK THEM. Sometimes, we need to be bold and act courageously.

我們遵守規則，這樣事情就會有序，沒人會受到不必要的干擾。這適用于交通規則和公司的一些規則。但是在你的生活中，有些規則是由一些除了日常活動外什么也不敢做的人設定的，他們設定規則來阻止其他人這樣做。但是隨著時間的流逝，你認為自己沒有朝著目標前進，那些所謂的規則是你最大的障礙。那就打破它們吧。有時，我們需要大膽一點，需要勇敢地行動起來。

After all, life lessons are always learned the hard way. However, if you are smart enough to learn early and wish not to waste your precious time learning them the hard way, learn them now and apply it to your life as soon as possible.

畢竟，生活中的教訓總是需費一番苦功才能學到。然而，如果你足夠聰明想早點兒學到它們，不想把寶貴的時間浪費在費勁去學這些教訓上，那么你現在就可以學習它們，并可以盡早把它們用到你的生活中。
