Dear Young Bill,
親愛(ài)的比爾楊

2.生活不是一場(chǎng)浪漫的情感電影-你是要嫁給卡羅爾，不要嘗試去獲得愛(ài)，如果一個(gè)女孩喜歡你太棒了，如果女孩不停的浪費(fèi)你的時(shí)間。

5.Say No When You Want To -Learn to say no more. That’s how you focus, by saying no to distractions and people.
5.當(dāng)想說(shuō)不的時(shí)候說(shuō)不，學(xué)會(huì)說(shuō)不。那會(huì)讓你保持專注，對(duì)分心的事物和人說(shuō)不。
6.Stop Planning -You have these huge plans for your life. None of these plans work. Just pick the direction you want your life to go and cultivate skills that are going to make that journey easier.
6.停止計(jì)劃，你的生活有很多的大計(jì)劃，這些計(jì)劃都沒(méi)有起作用。選擇你想讓你生活到達(dá)的方向，培養(yǎng)將會(huì)是這個(gè)旅途很輕松的技能。
7.Laugh at Being Jealous -You get jealous a lot, it’s not a big deal. When you do get jealous, say what you’re upset about out loud and start laughing. It will make you feel better and it stops you from taking yourself so seriously.
7.笑對(duì)嫉妒，你肯定會(huì)嫉妒，沒(méi)什么大不了的。當(dāng)你有些嫉妒時(shí)，把你不爽的地方大聲說(shuō)出來(lái)，然后笑給自己看。這會(huì)讓你感覺(jué)好些，不會(huì)再把自己的嫉妒看的太認(rèn)真。
8.Don’t be Afraid of Being Alone -Time alone isn’t something to run away from it is to be cherished. So work on those novels and screenplays, go to the gym and read books -don’t cry, cultivate skills.
8.不要害怕孤單，珍視孤單的時(shí)間而不是逃避它。把時(shí)間放在小說(shuō)和劇本上，去健身房和看書(shū)，不要大叫，培養(yǎng)技能。
9.Stop Drinking -I know blasphemous, but when you’re 24 you quit drinking and you’re able to have even more fun when you go out to party and you save a lot of time not being hungover.
9.不要醉酒，我知道有點(diǎn)不尊重，當(dāng)你24歲的時(shí)候停止喝酒，當(dāng)你去派對(duì)上可以省好多時(shí)間找到快樂(lè)而不是直接喝多了。
10.Work-Out -In the future you’re really muscular, part of what’s keeping you from going to the gym now is that you think you can’t put on muscle, you can, so start lifting.
10.鍛煉身體，未來(lái)你一定會(huì)很強(qiáng)壯，你不去健身房健身的部分原因是你覺(jué)得自己不會(huì)增長(zhǎng)肌肉的，你能的，所以開(kāi)始舉重鍛煉吧。
11.Listen to Audiobooks When You Drive and Walk -You waste a lot of time listening to the same songs, over and over again. Listen to audiobooks, you’ll learn a lot and sound smarter.

12.Learn the Rules of Life -Look at life as it is not as you wish it to be.
There are unspoken rules in life, find out what they are and make them work in your favor. This means reading self-development books about relationships, discipline, mastery, economics and body language. Also talk to your Dad more (See #3) because he’s unbelievably wise and you’re unbelievably foolish.
12.領(lǐng)會(huì)生活的法則?？创畈⒉蝗缒闼?。生活中有很多不言而喻的法則，找到它們，讓其幫助自己。意味著看一些自我提升的書(shū)，關(guān)于經(jīng)驗(yàn)，精通，經(jīng)濟(jì)和肢體語(yǔ)言的。可以多和老爸聊聊，因?yàn)樗麄兛赡芎茴Ｖ牵惴浅５拇馈?/p>
13.Take One Risk a Day- These risks should be to make you better not worse (This isn’t a license to drive drunk), so email CEO’s and talk to pretty girls, you’d be surprised how much doing stuff like this will impact your life.
13.每日一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)，這些挑戰(zhàn)應(yīng)該是讓你變得更好的而不是更糟糕的（比如去酒駕），比如給CEO發(fā)郵件，和漂亮的女生說(shuō)話，你會(huì)驚喜的發(fā)現(xiàn)這些挑戰(zhàn)會(huì)對(duì)你的生活產(chǎn)生巨大的影響。
Bill your life turns out great, and you are on a path for success, but if you did these things earlier, you would have enjoyed life more along the way. These things will not only make you more successful, they will make you happier while striving for success.
給你的人生定個(gè)目標(biāo)也很棒，你會(huì)通往成功的道路，如果你能提早做這些事，你會(huì)更加享受自己的人生。這些事不但會(huì)使你更加成功，也會(huì)讓你為成功而奮斗的過(guò)程更快樂(lè)。
