过来人分享：20多岁要养成的20个好习惯（二）

Remember that the way you’ve always done it isn’t the only way. It’s unlikely that one of the things you’ll regret when you’re 70 is not having consumed enough beer in your 20s, or not having bought enough $6 lattes from Starbucks, or not having frequented the same night club for years. But the regret of missing out on opportunities is a real, toxic feeling. You’ve figured out drinking and going out. You’ve had enough lattes. It’s time to figure something else out. Every corner you turn or street you walk down has a new experience waiting for you. You just have to see the opportunity and be adventurous enough to run with it.

生活并不总是一成不变的。等到了70岁，你后悔的肯定不会是“20多岁没喝够啤酒”，或“星巴克的廉价拿铁还没买够”，或“常去的那个小酒吧应该更多去去”这类。真正错失了一个机会能让人心如刀割，喝酒、买咖啡、出去玩……这种事你早就做得够多了。现在是该找点新乐趣的时候了。每条街的转角处，也许都有一个新机会、新体验等着你。你所需要做的，是抓住机会，并勇敢地体验它。

20. Always keep in mind that life is somewhat unpredictable.

永远要记住：生命是不可预见的。

Some of the great moments in your life won’t necessarily be the things you do; they’ll be things that happen to you. That doesn’t mean you can’t take action to affect the outcome of your life. You have to take action, and you will. But don’t forget that on any day, you can step out the front door and your whole life can change in an instant – for better or worse. To an extent, the universe has a plan that’s always in motion. A butterfly flaps its wings and it starts to rain – it’s a scary thought, but it’s part of life’s cycle. All these little parts of the machine, constantly working – sometimes forcing you to struggle, and sometimes making sure you end up exactly in the right place at the right time.
