好文章欣賞：50歲老人希望自己在25歲時做的那些事
摘錄: 你只會年輕一次。所以，在你被抵押貸款、配偶和孩子的責任束縛前，探險世界和它提供的一切是個不錯的主意(只要它不會傾家蕩產!)。考慮到國外工作。參觀你整天夢想的城市。去一些可以讓你觀看周圍一切的地方，而不是在智能手機上下載的。
Call it life experience or the school of hard knocks, by 50 we all have the hindsight to know which decisions were good ones and which decisions were, well, a result of youthful naïveté. But whether you're a firm believer in "everything happens for a reason" or you wish the brains at Google would develop a time machine, you've probably learned a thing or two from your failures。
We asked our Huff/Post50 Facebook fanswhat they wish they'd known at 25 that they know now. Here's what they said every 20-something ought to know about life。
把它稱作生活經歷也好或者艱苦的生活磨練也好，到了50歲時，我們都會意識到哪個決定是好的，哪個決定是滿意的，這些都是年輕天真的結果。但是無論你是堅定的相信“事出有因”，還是希望谷歌的天才們可以設計出時光機器，你可能已經從你的失敗中學習到了一些事情。
我們詢問了50位Huff/Post Facebook上的粉絲，他們希望25歲時知道哪些現在已經知道的。下面是他們說的一些20多歲的人應該知道的關於生活的一些事情。
more money。
存更多的錢。
Retirement is no joke, as you'll learn by 50. As you stare at the bleak reality of your 401K, you might find yourself counting every nickel and dime you wasted on frivolous expenses. So pack your lunch, find street parking (or take the bus) and remember that a penny saved is a penny earned, as cheesy as it sounds。
當你50歲時，你會學到退休不是開玩笑。當你註釋401K這一慘淡的現實時，你可能會發現自己計算浪費在零碎開支上的每一分錢。所以，自帶午餐，尋找街道停車位(或乘公共汽車)，並且記住省一文就得一文，聽起來很棒。
2. Know when to walk away。
知道什麼時候離開。
Many readers voiced that walking away, while it may be a difficult decision, is sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself. And the quicker you can come to this realization, the more you can save yourself from making up for lost time。
許多讀者聲稱離開，雖然它可能會是一個困難的決定，但是有時候也是你可以爲自己做的最好的事情。並且你明白的越快，你免於彌補失去的時間就越多。
k up more。
大膽說出自己的想法。
As the saying goes, it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. You are your one and only true advocate, so never be afraid to stand up for yourself and speak your mind, because regret's a b****。
俗話說的好，會叫的騾子多吃草。你是自己唯一併且最真實的支持者，所以不要害怕支持你自己和說出你的想法，因爲後悔可恥。
4. Re-think a college major。
重新思考一下大學專業。
A few readers mentioned how they wish they'd re-considered their choice of college major, or even thought twice before dropping out。
少數讀者提到，他們希望重新考慮選擇大學專業，或者在退學前甚至再三考慮。
5. Travel more。
多旅行。
You're only young once. So before you get tied down by responsibilities of a mortgage, a spouse and kids, it's a good idea to explore the world and all it has to offer (as long as it doesn't break the bank!). Consider working abroad. Visit the city you dream about all day. Just go somewhere that will make you look up and around rather than down at your smartphone。
你只會年輕一次。所以，在你被抵押貸款、配偶和孩子的責任束縛前，探險世界和它提供的一切是個不錯的主意(只要它不會傾家蕩產!)。考慮到國外工作。參觀你整天夢想的城市。去一些可以讓你觀看周圍一切的地方，而不是在智能手機上下載的。
6. Incur less debt。
借較少的債務。
Don't buy things you don't need and think long and hard before getting a credit card. No matter what they tell you, it's not free money, and no matter how high the limit, you shouldn't go blow it all on designer duds and a fancy vacation. Debt sucks in any form. Instead, focus on building a solid credit history and credit score so you can finally nab a killer interest rate when you go sign a mortgage。
不要買你不需要的東西，在申請信用卡前長時間沉入思考下。無論他們告訴你什麼，它不是免費的，並且無論她告訴你最高限額是多少，你不應該搞砸所有設計師設計的衣服和高檔度假。債務有各種形式。你可以專注於建立一個穩固的信用檔案和信用分數，所以當你去簽署抵押貸款時，你能夠得到最低利率。
7. Wear more sunscreen。
多塗防曬霜。
Basking in the rays may pay off in the short run with a glistening tan, but in the long run it leads to age spots, wrinkling and sagging of the grab the SPF year-round, reach for self-tanner or just embrace your skin tone ·for what it is。
沐浴在陽光中可能短期類會讓你擁有閃亮棕褐色皮膚，但是從長遠來看，它會導致老年斑、皺紋和下垂的皮膚。所以全年塗抹防曬霜，獲得古銅膚色或者欣然接受你本身的膚色。
8. Think carefully before marriage。
結婚前考慮清楚。
Several readers voiced they would have waited to get married. One reader said she would have waited until at least 30. While there's no hard and fast rule everyone can apply, it's sound advice at any age -- to think carefully before you wed。
一些讀者表示他們會等晚點結婚。一個讀者說她會等到至少30歲才結婚。雖然沒有每個人都適用的硬性規定，但是這是對處任何年齡的人的忠告--在你結婚前仔細考慮清楚。
9. Slow down。
慢一點。
Too many of us waste precious moments because we're too busy connected to our digital devices or on social media or worrying about the next career move. Life is short. Savor it. We think reader Trisha C Mokoshsq put it perfectly: "I would not have been so driven to be successful and work 80 hours a week to make partner all those years. I would have lingered. I would have defined myself by more than what I did for a living."
我們很多人浪費了很多寶貴的時間，因爲我們忙於處理數字設備或社交媒體或擔憂下次的事業變動。生命短暫。享受它。我認爲讀者Trisha C Mokoshsq說的很好：“我不會如此想要成功，所有的這些年，每週工作80個小時廣交合作夥伴。我會徘徊逗留。我會重新定義我要做的事情，而不僅僅是爲了生存。”
10. Get a better education。
得到更好的教育。
As the saying goes, nobody can take your accomplishments away from you. Education is one of those accomplishments. Many readers wished they would have either gone to or stuck to college. Whether it's to land you the career of your dreams, or to meet people from different walks of life or to learn to see things a little differently, education is always a good choice, whatever form it takes。
俗話說得好，沒有人可以帶走你的成就。教育就是這些成就之一。許多讀者希望他們可以讀大學或堅持讀完大學。無論它是讓你擁有夢想的事業，還是見來自各行各業的人，還是學習看待事情的見解有些不一樣，教育總是一個不錯的選擇，無論它採取什麼形式。
11. Consider health issues。
考慮健康問題。
By 25 you might have noticed your metabolism slowing down. But looking after yourself as you age is about more than just quitting your pizza-a-day diet for vanity. It's about creating habits (and breaking bad ones) that will lead to a long life in which you're healthy enough to do everything you want to do. So quit smoking or cut back on the alcohol. As many of you said, little changes can lead to big benefits in the long run。
到了25歲，你可能會注意到你的新陳代謝變慢了。但是在這個年紀照顧好自己，不僅僅是爲了虛榮拋棄你每天吃披薩的飲食習慣。它需要培養讓你活的更久的習慣(打破壞習慣)，這樣你就足夠健康可以做你想要做的一切事情。所以戒菸或少喝酒。正如許多人說的，從長遠來看 ，小的變化可以帶來大的效益。
