Most people learn over time, but often learning comes too late to be fully useful. There are certainly many things that I know now that would have been extremely useful to me earlier in my life; things that could have saved me from many of the mistakes and hurts I suffered over the years—and most of those that I inflicted on others too。
隨著時間的流逝我們一直在獲得新的知識，但是這些學問卻往往在我們需要它的時候姍姍來遲。很多對我早期生活應該極其有用的事情我卻現在才知道，它們本可以幫助我在那些年里避免很多錯誤跟傷害--大部分事情我也曾經強加于別人身上過。
I don’t buy the romantic notion that my life has been somehow richer or more interesting because of all the times I screwed up; nor that the mistakes were “put” there to help me learn. I made them myself—through ignorance, fear, and a dumb wish to have everyone like me—and life and work would have been less stressful and more enjoyable (and certainly more successful) without them. So here are some of the things I wish I had learned long ago. I hope they may help a few of you avoid the mistakes that I made back then.
我不相信生活會無故地變得富裕而有情趣，那只是浪漫的妄想。因為我一生都充滿動蕩和不安。也不同意錯誤是已經存在于某個地方好幫助我們學習的。那些錯誤都是我自己犯的- ---出于無知、害怕還有希望所有人都喜歡自己的愚蠢愿望----沒有了它們我們的生活工作就會有更少的壓力更多的快樂(當然還包括成功)。下面有幾點是我很久以前就希望自己能夠了解的。期待它們能幫助大家，即使是小部份人，能夠避免重蹈我的覆轍。
1. Most of it doesn’t matter.So much of what I got excited about, anxious about, or wasted my time and energy on, turned out not to matter. There are only a few things that truly count for a happy life. I wish I had known to concentrate on those and ignore the rest。
1。擁有一顆平常心。
太多我曾經為其興奮，為其焦慮，亦或是浪費了我時間以及精力的事情到最后卻被證明是無關緊要的。它們只是幸福生活里極其微小的一部分。我多么希望早點知道這些，以便能把精力都投入到這些關乎幸福的事，而不是其他。
