　　Make Your Health a Priority, Not an Option

　　健康是必选，不是可选

　　Once you get into your late 20s and early 30s your body is going to start losing metabolismand energy. You’re going to start going to bed earlier. Start eating better and exercising. Don’t think of it as a choice. Start developing a healthier lifestyle and soon it will become habit. Take care of yourself physically, mentally and spiritually.

　　一旦到了二十大几、三十出头，人体新陈代谢就会变慢，精力也会慢慢下降。你会变得容易疲倦，必须早些上床睡觉;你要开始健康饮食、规律运动。不要觉得这些可有可无。开始尝试健康的生活方式，很快就会养成习惯。不论是生理还是心理，都请照顾好自己。

　　You’re Only Young Once

　　青春稍纵即逝

　　Enjoy being young while you are still young! Enjoy being young as much as possible. Enjoy the metabolism and the fun times. Cross stuff off your bucket list while you’re young because no one knows how much time you truly have. Don’t wait until you’re old and can’t or may not be able to do the things you really want to experience. Seriously, you may be broke while you’re young, but that doesn’t matter. You’ve got time to make money and settle down. Travel, explore and do what your heart desires now. You can still get married, have children and a household and career starting in your 20s if you want, but you should try to balance your life with equal amounts of responsibility and fun. The last thing you want to do is look back on missed chances.

　　趁着年轻赶紧享受吧!尽情享受青春时光，经历成长、感受快乐。趁着年轻赶紧实现你的愿望清单，因为时间稍纵即逝。不要等老了无法去做时才追悔莫及。或许，年轻的你一穷二白，但那又怎样，你还年轻，总有时间挣钱安家置业。现在，你应该去旅行、去探索、去追寻内心的渴望。只要你想，你也可以在20几岁时结婚生子、成家立业;但你也可以尝试平衡生活，在担负责任的同时也能找点乐趣。最不该的就是任由机会流逝空悲切。

　　Attitude Determines Your Altitude

　　态度决定高度

　　Attitude is everything and that’s not something they teach you in school. Having a good attitude can make all the difference in your life. It makes life easier and happier when you have a positive outlook and are able to keep your attitude light and flexiblewhen dealing with other people and with life’s challenges.

　　态度决定一切。这里的态度不同于你在学校学到的东西。良好的态度能让生活与众不同。如果你积极乐观，与人交往或 面对困难时能灵活自如，生活也会变得更舒畅更开心。

　　How You Treat People Matters

　　待人接物很重要

　　Treating people with respect and decency can get you a long way in the world. Remember that “honey attracts more flies than vinegar.” Being nice to people really does actually matter to people. You won’t get anywhere tearing other people down or blaming others for anything. Take responsibility for yourself, your actions and your feelings.

　　礼貌得体待人可以使你走得更长远。请记住：“蜂蜜比酸醋招蜂多。”善待他人真的非常重要。不论在什么场合、为了什么事情，都不要挖苦责备他人。请为自己的言行情绪负责。

　　Relationships Don’t Come Easy

　　亲密关系不易形成

　　Choosing a life partner/spouse is hard. Relationships in general are hard, not just romantic ones but friendships and family relations as well. Stay in touch with people who you really care about and who really care about you. Make an effort to stay an active person in their life if you really care. You will not have as many close friends as you get older and you will probably lose some friends as well. Remember that it is okay, not everyone who comes into your life is meant to stay forever; let them go and cherish the people who are still in your life.

　　选择生活伴侣并不容易。亲密关系都不易形成：不仅是恋爱关系，朋友关系和亲人关系也是如此。选择真正在乎你而你又非常喜欢的人。如果你当真在乎，那请在他们的生活里保持积极乐观。亲密朋友不会随着年龄的增长而变得越来越多，相反，你甚至会失去一些朋友。但你也不必太介意，毕竟生活中不是所有人都能一直陪伴身边;离开的姑且离开，现有的更应珍惜。

　　Be Prepared To Deal With Changes in Relationships

　　关系有变时，要懂得处理

　　Look at your time with exes and be thankful; even though it didn’t work out, at least you got to experience it and learn from it. You rolled the dice and lost, but at least you took a chance! Don’t think that just because something wasn’t meant to be for your entire life doesn’t mean it didn’t add value and was right where you needed to be at the time.

　　回望与前任的时光，请心存感激;虽然你们有缘无分，但至少你拥有过、收获过。虽然赌输了，但你至少抓住了机会!不要因为事情未尽人意就片面否定当时的价值与意义。

　　In your 20s, especially if you have a family, it gets harder and harder to spend time with friends because of so many different time demands. You will be pulled in every direction and it’s up to you to decide what your priorities are. Having a couple of close friends you can rely on can make a difference in your life. As they say “shared joy is doubled, shared sorrow is halved.”

　　20几岁时，如果你还建立了家庭，那么跟朋友厮混的时间会越来越少，因为占时间的事情变多了。事情四面八方涌来，你必须决定优先次序。如果能有几个好友，那会大有不同：因为朋友“既可以使快乐翻倍，又能让悲伤减半”。

　　Take Every Chance You Get

　　把握每一次机会

　　Life is about taking chances, grabbing opportunities and taking risks. Don’t be afraid to try something new, move somewhere new, work somewhere new, meet new people and learn something new.

　　生活就是要把握机遇、勇于冒险。别害怕尝试新鲜事物、移居陌生地方、进入新工作环境、认识新朋友或学习新东西。
