生命不是一場競賽 Life Isn't a Competition
[14] 你會遇到一些人他們總是試圖超過你，在中學，大學，在工作中。他們想要擁有更好的車，更大的房子，更好的衣物，更酷的小玩意。對他們來說，生命就是一場競賽---他們不得不比同輩做得更好來讓自己感到快樂。
You will meet many people who will try to outdo you, in school, in college, at work. They'll try to have nicer cars, bigger houses, nicer clothes, cooler gadgets. To them, life is a competition — they have to do better than their peers to be happy.
[15] 這里有一個秘訣：生命并不是一場競賽。而是一段旅程。如果你在途中一直都試圖給他人留下深刻印象，超過別人，那你就浪費了這段旅程。與之相反，學會享受它，讓之成為快樂之旅，永恒的學習之旅，持久的進步之旅以及愛之旅。
Here's a secret: Life isn't a competition. It's a journey. If you spend that journey always trying to impress others, to outdo others, you’re wasting your journey. Instead, learn to enjoy the journey. Make it a journey of Happiness, of constant learning, of continual improvement, of love.
[16] 不要為擁有一輛更好的車或一所更好的房子或者任何物質的東西，即便是一份薪水更高的工作操心。這些根本無足輕重，也不會使你快樂。你可能在擁有了這些之后只是想要更多的。與之相反，學會滿足你已經擁有的---然后學會利用你原本想要浪費在為掙錢買這些東西的時間去做你真正熱愛的事。
[16] Don't worry about having a nicer car or house or anything material, or even a better-paying job. None of that matters a whit, and none of it will make you happier. You'll acquire these things and then only want more. Instead, learn to be satisfied with having enough — and then use the time you would have wasted trying to earn money to buy those things … use that time doing things you love.
[17] 找到你的激情，堅持不懈地追求它。別讓自己被一個還債的的工作所累。生命太短暫了，更不可將之浪費在你所厭惡的工作上。
[17] Find your passion, and pursue it doggedly. Don't settle for a job that pays the bills. Life is too short to waste on a job you hate.
