介绍:
1. Life isn’t fair.
人生是不公正的
Life will hand you lemons, often when you least expect it. The sooner you embrace this harsh truth, the better prepared you’ll be to handle tough situations that are sure to arise.
往往在你最意想不到的时候，人生会让你尝到柠檬的酸味。你越早清楚这个残酷的事实，在处置这些必将呈现的麻烦事时，你就会筹备得越好。
2. The first step is always the hardest.
万事开头难
Let’s face it: changing bad habits is tough. Research proves it. Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” So if you want to change something, start with baby steps. Take a small action–any action–and grow from there.
让我们面对这个事实：改掉坏习惯十分难题。研讨证明了这一点。中国的哲学家老子说过，“千里之行，始于足下。”如果你想要做出改变，就从第一步开端。做出一点小的行为，任何一种举动都行，而后就从这里开始。
3. Good things usually don’t come quickly.
好事情不会来得很快
Great accomplishments in our lives normally don’t come easy. And if you think about it, would you have it any other way? There’s a basic psychological principle called instant gratification, which means that we expect to get rewards instantly. But sometimes you need to fight the impulses your brain throws at you and trust that the journey you’re on is the right one.
我们意识中的巨大成绩都来之不易。想想看，你还有别的措施吗?有一个基础的心理学原理，叫做即时满意，意思是咱们等待立即取得回报。但有时候你要跟大脑中的这种激动作奋斗，要信任你正在走一条准确的路。
4. Not everyone will support you along the way.
人活路上不是每个人都会支撑你
In life, there’s no shortage of doubters, haters, and pessimists. Overcoming this harsh truth is simple: don’t listen. Choose to stick with your guns, trust your instincts, and forget about people who don’t support your goals and passions.
你的人生中素来不缺少猜忌者、嫉妒者和达观主义者。战胜这个残酷的现实很简略：别听他们的。坚守本人，相信你的直觉，忘掉那些不支持你的目的和豪情的人。
5. You can’t always be in control of everything.
你无奈永远掌控每件事
Listen, letting go is hard, especially if you’re a go-getter. But if you want to continue to grow, there are times when you need to relinquish your control on everything and let things unfold how they’re meant to be. This doesn’t mean your mentality for everything should be “wait and hope.” You can still strive for greatness, but put the work in and then let go with complete faith that the universe will make things right for you. You’ll be amazed at how well it works.
听着，撒手不是件轻易的事，尤其如果你仍是一个能干的人。但如果你想持续成长，有时候你需要放弃对某些事的掌控，让一切顺其天然。这并不象征着你看待事情的立场是“静观其变”。你仍然可认为了造诣伟大而斗争，只不外在尽力之后，就可以放手，要相信上天会为你部署妥善。你会惊奇地发明一切都很顺利。
6. You can’t accomplish great things without taking great risks.
不入虎穴焉得虎子
Here’s another harsh truth many people have trouble grasping: if you don’t take risks you will have a lot harder time accomplishing what you want in life. People who truly change the world are the biggest risk takers. They’re the ones who are willing to put everything on the line and fail for something they believe in. And they treat each failure as an opportunity to grow and get better.
这又是一个良多人不能懂得的残暴事实：假如你不能冒险，想实现你所寻求的就会更加艰苦。那些真正转变世界的人都是最大的冒险家。他们甘心让所有出于危险之中，也肯为了他们所信奉的事而失败。他们以为每一次失败都是一次成长、变得更好的机遇。
7. You may be better off without some of the people you currently care about.
不了你眼下在乎的某些人，你的生涯兴许更美妙
This one is tough to hear, I know. But chances are, there’s someone in your life you care about deeply who is holding you back. That’s not to say you should give up on the people you love. However, there comes a time when you need to make the tough decision to say no to people who aren’t helping you grow.
我晓得这一点听起来很难以接收。但有可能你性命中某个你特殊在乎的人阻碍了你前进。这不是说你要废弃那些你爱的人。可是有时候你需要作出艰巨的决定，对那些不能辅助你成长的人说不。
8. Death is a part of life.
逝世亡是人生的一部分
Nothing can prepare us for the earth-shattering pain of losing a loved one. The harsh truth of life is that it’s a viscous cycle. However, there’s something you can do to make losing someone you love a lot less painful: make them a part of your life right now. Don’t put off making that phone call or paying a random visit to a friend or family member you haven’t seen in a while. Treat every moment with your loved ones as if it’s your last, and you won’t have any regrets.
面对失去所爱之人的宏大疼痛，我们老是莫衷一是。残酷的现切实于，这是一个黏性的轮回。然而你能够做一些事件，让这种苦楚减轻一些：从当初起就让他们成为你人生中的一局部。别推迟给那些良久没见的友人或家人打电话或者上门访问。每次和你爱的人们相处时都把它当做是最后一次，这样你就不会有任何遗憾了。
9. You are the only thing holding yourself back from greatness.
你是自己通向伟大的独一阻碍
Often we get so caught up hoping for the next great thing that we don’t realize what’s unfolding right in front of our faces. Don’t hold yourself back with negative thoughts. Instead, focus on the positive things you have going in your life. Choose to be happy right now.
我们总是期待着下一件好事情，却没有意识到它正在我们眼前发生。别被消极的动机所妨碍。相反，要关注那些产生在你生活中的踊跃的事情。抉择快活，就是现在。
10. Sometimes bad things happen to good people
有时候好人也会碰到坏事
Suffering is part of life. But here’s the cool thing: it makes us stronger. How you choose to view the world is up to you. Just remember, the truth, however harsh, will set you free.
磨难是人生的一部门。但利益在于，它会让我们更强盛。你如何对待这个世界由你自己决议。只须要记住，现实不管如许残酷，都会让你自在。
