再不疯狂就老了：年轻时要做的10件事

1. Make yourself a priority
优先考虑自己
If you don’t take care of yourself, nobody else will. You have to be number one. All things in your life stem from your happiness. Be someone who makes you happy!
如果自己不照顾好自己，别人就更指望不上了。把自己放在首位。生活中一切因你的快乐而存在。做个为自己的快乐而生的人吧！
2. Enjoy the small things
享受生活中的那些小事
Take walks more often. Stop and look at a babbling brook. Sit in an oversized chair at Barnes & Noble and read a great book. Observe an elderly couple holding hands. Life is made up of these small and seemingly insignificant things. They aren’t insignificant. Be sure to take the time to appreciate them.
多散步。因潺潺流水而驻足；闲坐在巴诺书店的大号椅子上读本好书；观察一对手挽手的老夫妇；生活就是一连串看似微不足道的琐事。它们虽不起眼，但一定要抽出时间去欣赏。
3. Get outside
留恋户外
Being outdoors is good for you. Soak in the sunlight, get those endorphins kicking, and enjoy the beauty that nature offers.
户外活动有益身心。沐浴阳光下，激活内啡肽，享受自然的美。
4. Be confident in who you are
对自己要有自信
Every person is unique and special in their own way. Understanding this early in life is critical. Be proud of who you are and don’t be afraid to let the world know it.
每个人都与众不同。年轻时，清楚这一点至关重要。为自己感到骄傲，而且要勇敢地让世界知道这一点。
5. Take calculated risks
承担可估算的风险
Life is a series of risks and rewards. Be smart with your risks and understand the consequences.
生活伴随着风险与回报。在风险面前保持警醒，并有勇气承担后果。
6. Focus on the present
关注当下
Worrying to a certain degree about your future is normal, but don’t overlook the power of being in the present moment. You can’t change the past, but you can control what you do right now.
对未来有些担心很正常，但不要忽视活在当下的能量。你无力改变过去，但现在却由你掌控。
7. Stop caring about what people think of you
别在意别人对你的看法
Fear of criticism is one of the most destructive fears known to humanity. It can debilitate you to the point paralysis. Learn early in life that it doesn’t matter what people think of you. It really doesn’t. And besides, people are too worried about what you think about them to care about you!
对人类来说，担心受指责是最具毁灭性的恐惧之一。它会使你脆弱得不堪一击。年轻时就要懂得，人们怎么看你无关紧要。的确如此。另外，人们过于担心你对他们的看法而无暇顾及你。
8. Remember that people are good at heart
记住人性本善
Being a lifelong cynic can and will make your life an uphill climb. Recognize that people are inherently good and you will embrace relationships in a far greater capacity.
与愤世疾俗为伍，只会使生活艰难。承认人善的本性，你就会敞开胸怀，广交朋友。
9. Be a positive person
积极向上
Make being positive a habit early in life. Your success in life will come from your thoughts and your thoughts can be either negative or positive. Only you can control which you choose.
年轻时就要养成积极向上的习惯。生活成败取决于思想，而思想有积极和消极之分。只有你是自己思想的主宰。
10. Let go of negative influences
远离负面影响
Avoid bad situations, unhealthy relationships, and people who make your life worse. Letting go of a good friend who is going to drag you down is a difficult yet intelligent decision. Failure to do so can negatively affect where you end up in life.
避开困境、不健康的关系和那些搅扰你生活的人。对使你止步不前的好朋友说再见虽难却是明智之举。如果不忍割舍，那只会让你的生活变得一团糟。
