在我短暂的一生里有许多想做的事。有些令我畏惧,有些却是挑战,还有些就只是为了玩乐罢。
Unfortunately, life is very short and the older I get the quicker time seems to pass. I'm quickly realizing that I probably won't fit everything in. So how do I choose? How do I pick which things to go for wholeheartedly and what things to leave to someone else? It comes down to a simple question: "When I'm 80, will I regret___?"
遗憾地是,生命实在太短暂,随着年龄的不断增长时间飞逝得越快。我很快意识到在这短暂的时光里不可能将所有想做的事做完。那我如何选择呢?我如何判断哪些事是我该专注去做的,哪些是该交给其他人完成的?这一切可以用一个问题来回答:“当我80岁时,我会因为___后悔吗?”
