4. A Wise Mentor
睿智的導師
Jesse Jackson once said, “Never look down on someone unless you’re helping them up.” If you have someone smart, inspiring, and admirable in your life who practices this philosophy, you’re extremely lucky. We all need a friend who inspires us to be better people without making us feel inadequate. Plus, being around such a person will challenge us to better ourselves every day.
杰西-杰克遜曾經說過，“永遠不要瞧不起別人，除非你在幫助他們。” 如果你的生活中有聰明靈巧、鼓舞人心、令人欽佩的人正在實踐這一理念，那你就相當幸運了。我們都需要朋友鼓舞我們來讓我們變得更好，而不是讓我們感到不足。另外，和這樣的人待在一起，每天都會讓我們變得更加出色。
The wise mentor in your life doesn’t have to be someone who shares the same occupation or hobbies with you. It’s simply someone who’s a few steps ahead of you in life and has enough wisdom and patience to guide you in the right direction. It can be anyone — a colleague, a friend who’s beyond their years, or an older neighbor — as long as you look up to this person and want to be more like them.
生活中的睿智導師并不一定要和你有著相同的職業或習慣。只要他/她在生活中比你領先了幾步，并擁有足夠的智慧和耐心引導你朝著正確的方向前進，就可以是你的導師。導師可以是任何人——同事、比自己大好多年的朋友、或是老鄰居——只要你朝這個人看齊，并更想像他們一樣。
