Separate your expectations from those of your parents. Otherwise you wake up and realize you’re not living your own life.
第五,別遵循父母的期待生活。否則你醒來后會發現你過的不是屬于自己的生活。
Try new things that you’re not good at. Ditch the superstar mentality that if you don’t reach the top, become president, get an A+, or get promoted to editor-in-chief, then the efforts were worthless. It’s important to learn to enjoy things without getting recognition.
第六,嘗試一些你并不擅長的新事物。拋棄那些名韁利鎖:覺得如果不能成為第一名,當不了學生會主席,拿不了A+的優異成績,或晉升到總編的位置,那么一切努力都是無意義的。重要的是學著去享受那些無需他人贊賞肯定的事情。
Define success for yourself. Society defines success very narrowly. Rather than defining success as financial gain or accolades, define it in terms of individual interests and personal happiness.
第七,自己定義成功。社會對成功的定義很狹隘。與其把成功定義為經濟上的收獲或嘉獎,不如將其定義為個人興趣和快樂所在。
Make your job search a priority. Jobs do not fall in your lap, you have to chase them. Especially a good one. It’s a job to look for a job. Use spreadsheets to track your progress. And plan early.
第八,要優先考慮求職此事。工作要自己去找,特別是好工作,不要等著天上掉餡餅。把找工作看成是一項工作。使用電子表格來記錄你的進度,并早日作計劃。
