Let’s look back all these years you’ve gone through, what have you done for your life? Are you spending your time wisely to make your life worthwhile? Neal Wu shared some ways we should do to make our short time of life meaningful on Quora, find out what you need to do next:
讓我們回顧一下這些年來你在生活中都經歷了什麼？你都做了什麼？你做到了充分有效利用時間讓你的生活過得有價值有意義嗎？尼爾-吳在Quora網站上分享了一些讓我們的生活在短時間內充滿意義的方法，對照一下看看你接下來需要做到的：
1. Make friends as opposed to networking
交朋友但不只是社交
Your friends will go a lot further than the professional contacts you make, especially since only one of the two groups is invested in your personal happiness.
多和你的朋友溝通交流比你聯繫專業人士交流探討要強，尤其是專業人士和朋友圈子這兩組人羣，只有你的朋友圈子纔是你個人幸福的投資方向。
2. Become an expert by learning as much as you can and deeply seeking out the things you are curious about
儘量通過多學習的方式成爲專家，並對自己所好奇的方面執着地探求
Find the things you enjoy and practice the skills you want to develop. If you can achieve expertise then it will be easy to obtain an audience.
找到你喜歡做的事情並爭取達到熟能生巧的地步。如果你能達到專業的高度，那麼就會很容易贏得觀衆。
3. Volunteer to help out those less fortunate
自願幫助那些不幸的人
In the process you will gain a ton of new perspective and will better understand other people’s real problems. In a society that always looks upward, these people are being forgotten easily.
在這個過程中你會獲得多個新的視角，會更加理解別人所遇到的實際問題。在我們當今這個非常勢力的社會中，這個人羣很容易被遺忘。
4. Become as independent as possible
儘量自立
Even though you work in a big company, you should constantly make small steps to reduce your dependence on your job. Write a book, build an app, or start a small business on the side. Release your inner entrepreneur.
即使你在一家大公司工作，你也應該經常做出小小的改變，減少依賴工作的程度，讓自己不那麼依賴這份工作。寫本書、編個小程序或做個小生意。讓你內心的企業家潛質充分釋放出來。
5. Don’t spend too much time worrying about your personal brand
不要在你的個人品牌力上浪費太多時間
Accomplish things, and the recognition will follow.
把事情做好，大家心中都有一杆秤。
6. Stop treating life as a competition and do things for their own sake
別把生活當成比賽，做事只是爲了自身利益
Genuine interest should be what drives you to improve yourself, rather than a desire to beat others. Find a community of people who are interested in the same things as you do, and drive each other to keep improving.
你是真心想着要完善自己才做的，並不是希望打敗別人。和感興趣的人一起做，這樣會互相帶動、精益求精。
