青年节:老男孩给青年人的几句建议
爱思英语编者按:今天是五四青年节,是14至28周岁之间的青年的节日。青年节对于你来说意义是什么?是半天的法定假日,还是在今天惆怅地回想一下当年?老男孩说“青春如同奔流的江河 一去不回来不及道别”,你还能过几个青年节?
年轻的时候你会不会对那些前辈和过来人的语重心长不屑一顾?其实那些过来人的智慧真的很让人受益匪浅。值此青年节之际,让我们静下心来听听下面这位走过青年时代的老男孩的几点建议吧: What other people think of you isn’t nearly as important as what you think of yourself. Rebelling against the status quo leads to burnout. Instead, boldly forge your own path. Real men do cry. Memorizing the answers isn’t as important as finding your own. Mind your own business. Stick up for the weak and the small. Having a girlfriend isn’t as important as having friends who are girls. Winners do quit, no matter what the cliché is. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Making lots of money isn’t the point, but neither is it evil. Follow your muse, even if it doesn’t seem practical to your family, friends, or teachers. Love who you are, not who you think you ought to be. Above all, be honest. |
