Pay close attention. This is your life.
請留意生活中的細節，這是你的生活。
02
People always obsess over big decisions (e.g., which job/ position to accept), but really, tomorrow will always be a blur.
人們總是過於在意那些重要的決定（比如接受什麼樣的工作或者職位）但是實際上明天總是模糊的。
Plan with calmness, and then take the leap in the direction you think is best, knowing that there will rarely be a ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ but just a choice that leads to the next steps of life.
潛心規劃，向你認為最好的目標大膽進發，要知道，很少有所謂完全“正確”或是“錯誤”的決定，因為它們只不過都是一個讓你的生命進入下一個階段的臺階。
03
You will get the more satisfaction about the relationships you form than from the things you acquire.

Everyone’s life has meaning.
尊重人比尊重頭銜重要，
每個人的生命都有自己的價值。
05
Learn to reframe rejection.
學會重新認識拒絕。
Whether you’re working towards a leadership position or building a company, people will frequently tell you no.
當你努力想要成為領導者或者建立公司的時候，人們會經常告訴你“不行”。
Instead of seeing it as a shutdown, look at it as an opportunity to figure out why. Are you asking the wrong person? Have you not yet demonstrated you can handle the new responsibility? Over time, ‘no’ becomes just another opportunity to wait, learn and try again.
但是與其把這個NO視為事情的結束，不如把它看作一個尋找原因的機會：你是不是找了錯誤的人?你是不是還沒有展現出你具有承擔這個新責任的能力? 水滴石穿，NO會變成另一個等待，學習和再次嘗試的機會。
06
Find a place where you can be challenged. Ask yourself: Am I proud of my work?
找到一個挑戰自己的事業。問自己:“我是否為我的工作感到自豪”？

別害怕偏離你的計劃,勇敢的接受不確定性。那些在你感情，工作和生活上表現出不確定性和高風險的東西往往都是很Cool而且很值得你嘗試的。

As you move forward into the next stage of your life, do not forget to stop and look back to discover the meaning of where you have been. That will help you better understand who you are, where you may be heading, and how you can get there.
當你進入你人生的新階段，別忘了停下來回頭看看，去發現你過去經歷的意義。它可以讓你更好的瞭解你是誰，將到哪裡去，如何去那裡。
09
Never confuse being educated with being smart.
別把受到教育這件事和聰明這件事混為一個概念。
10
Read outside of your chosen field, read broadly, read enthusiastically. Creativity is a necessary life skill and some inspirations will come from unexpected sources.
廣泛的閱讀，熱情的閱讀。創造力是一個必需的生存技能，而一些靈感就來自於你沒有期待的來源。
11
Be true to yourself. Be willing to learn and to be coachable.
誠實的對待自己，願意學習，願意被指導。
