30歲來臨時悟出的人生30個道理(下)
16. We sometimes do things that are permanently foolish just because we are temporarily upset. A lot of heartache can be avoided if you learn to control your emotions. 暫時的心煩意亂可能幹出永久性傻事。學會控制情緒可以避免許多傷心之痛。
17. Someone else doesn't have to be wrong for you to be right. There are many roads to what's right. You cannot judge others by your own past. They are living a different life than you. What might be good for one person may not be good for another. What might be bad for one person might change another person’s life for the better. You have to allow people to make their own mistakes and their own decisions. 不要自以爲是，認爲別人是錯誤的。成功的路千萬條，不能拿自己的過去評判他人。人家與你的生活處境不一樣。對你來說的好事對別人來說不見得好，對你來說的壞事或許能讓另一個人的生活改觀。應當允許他人犯他們自己的錯誤做他們自己的選擇。
18. Nobody is perfect, and nobody deserves to be perfect. Nobody has it easy. You never know what people are going through. Every one of us has issues. So don't belittle yourself or anyone else. Everybody is fighting their own unique war. 人無完人，人也不該做完人，那對誰來說都不容易。你體會不到別人是怎麼熬過來的。各人都有各人的問題，所以不要小看自己和任何一個人。每個人都在打他們自己那場戰爭。
19. A smile doesn't always mean a person is happy. Sometimes it simply means they are strong enough to face their problems. 微笑並不總是代表快樂，有時它只代表我們足夠強大去正視困難。
20. The happiest people I know keep an open mind to new ideas and ventures, use their leisure time as a means of mental development, and love good music, good books, good pictures, good company and good conversation. And oftentimes they are also the cause of happiness in others—me in particular. 我認識的最快樂的人，都對新觀點新事物持有開放的心態，業餘時間用來發展心智，熱愛好書，優美的音樂、繪畫，好朋友和有趣的談話。通常他們也是其他人快樂的源泉——尤其是對我來說。
21. You can't take things too personally. Rarely do people do things because of you. They do things because of them. 爲人處世不要太“各色”。人們很少會從你的角度、而是從他們自己的角度行事。
22. Feelings change, people change, and time keeps rolling. You can hold on to past mistakes or you can create your own happiness. A smile is a choice, not a miracle. True happiness comes from within. Don't make the mistake of waiting on someone or something to come along and make you happy. 感情會變，人會變，時間滾滾向前。你要麼糾結於從前的錯誤，要麼打造自己的幸福。微笑不是奇蹟，而是一種選擇。真正的幸福源自內心。不要誤以爲可以坐等什麼人、什麼事帶給自己幸福。
23. It's much harder to change the length of your life than it is to change the depth of it. 改變生命的深度，要比改變生命的長度容易得多。
24. You end up regretting the things you did NOT do far more than the things you did. 你後悔“沒做”的事，會遠遠多於“做過”的事。
25. When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you. 一旦你停止追逐錯誤的東西，就給正確的東西一個追上你的機會。
26. One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world that's trying to make you like everyone else. 人生最大的挑戰，是在一個力求讓你變得跟衆人一樣的世界上做你自己。
27. Enjoy the little things, because one day you may look back and discover they were the big things. Read The Book of Awesome. 享受一些小事情，有一天你回過頭，會發現它們都是大事情。讀一下《The book of Awesome》這本書。
28. Anyone can make a difference. Making one person smile can change the world, maybe not the whole world, but their world. 每個人都能發揮作用。令他人微笑就能改變世界，也許不是整個世界，但卻是他們的世界。
29. Everything is a life lesson. Everyone you meet, everything you encounter, etc. They're all part of the learning experience we call 'life.' Never forget to acknowledge the lesson, especially when things don't go your way. If you don't get a job that you wanted or a relationship doesn't work, it only means something better is out there waiting. And the lesson you just learned is the first step towards it. 一切都是生命的教程，你碰到的每個人，遭遇的每件事……它們都是人生經驗的一部分。千萬不要忽略這些課程，特別是事情不順的時候。倘若你沒得到期望中的工作，或者跟某人的關係搞砸了，那僅僅意味着某種更好的東西就在那裏等待，你剛剛學會的一課就是朝它邁出第一步。
30. Regardless of how filthy your past has been, your future is still spotless. Don't start your day with the broken pieces of yesterday. Every day is a fresh start. Each day is a new beginning. Every morning we wake up is the first day of the rest of our life. 無論你的過去多麼糟糕，未來仍然是纖塵不染。不要讓昨日的碎片開啓新的一天，要讓每一天都成爲一個新的開始。每天早晨我們醒過來，都是餘生的第一天。
