I’m 30 years old, and there are several things that life has taught me that I want to share with you. Some of these things I’ve known since I was young, some of these things I have learned recently.
我现在30岁了，我想和大家分享一下这些年从生活中所学到的一些内容。其中有一些是我年轻时就已经知道的，也有一些是我最近才学到的。

I believe these lessons will add to your life. Without further ado, here are the 5 lessons that life has taught me at 30 years of age.
我相信这些经验会对你的生活有益。事不宜迟，来看一下这三十年里，生活所教给我的这五堂课吧。

1. Marry Well
美满的婚姻

In the movie “Shallow Hal,” Jack Black’s character “Hal” was cheated on by his girlfriend. Of course, he was very sad given this situation. His friend tried to comfort him by telling him, “You didn’t know she was bad.” To which Hal replied, “I knew she wasn’t good.”
在电影《庸人哈尔》中，杰克·布莱克扮演的哈尔，他的女友对他不忠。当然遇到这种事情他很伤心。他的朋友想安慰他，说：“你知道她不是个坏女孩。” 哈尔回答说：“我知道她不是好女孩。”

It’s critical that you pursue relationships with individuals who are “good,” first. Don’t let your primary criteria be cuteness or coolness. You only want to get married once, so it’s critical that you marry the right person. Marry someone who you can fall in love with several times over, because they’re so good.
谈恋爱时，首先要考虑对方的人品，这是相当关键的。不要把择偶的标准设为可爱或酷。你只想结一次婚，所以和适合你的人结婚是非常重要的。找一个你能多次相恋的好人结婚吧。

2. Take Care of Your Body
保养好自己的身体

Life is “unfairly” biased towards people who “look good,” like it or not. So it’s important that you do all that is in your power to look your best. And by “doing all that is in your power” I mean dressing nicely, working out and eating right.
不管你喜欢与否，生活总是“不公平”地偏向于看起来状态好的人。所以尽可能地让自己看起来处在最棒的状态，这是非常重要的，这里是指穿着得体、锻炼身体并健康饮食。

You will live longer, and you will live happier, if you take care of your body; you may even get promoted faster on your job. Research shows that people who take good care of their body are perceived to be better workers.
如果你能把身体保养好，你会更加长寿，并生活得更加快乐；你甚至能更快地升职加薪。研究表明，人们认为能保养好身体的人通常工作也会更加出色。

And if that’s not enough to motivate you, remember that your health is really your greatest wealth.
如果这些还不能激励你的话，请记住健康是你最大的财富。

3. Save Your Money
存钱

While I believe in having nice things, I’m a greater believer in paying yourself first.
虽然我想拥有美好的东西，但我相信把钱存下来会更好。

No one taught me to save when I was growing up, no one told me the importance of saving, fortunately I was able to learn the value of saving through reading great books like “The Millionaire Next Door.” I want to teach others what I was not taught when I was young, and that message is to save at least twenty percent of your income. If you are to be wealthy, you must not just earn a lot, you must save a lot.
在我成长的过程中，没人教我攒钱，也没人告诉我攒钱的重要性。幸运的是，我从像《隔壁的百万富翁》这样的书中学到了存钱的重要性。我想把我年轻时所不知道的这条信息告诉你：至少把收入的20%积攒起来。如果你想变得富有，你不仅要能赚钱，而且还得会攒钱。

4. Think Long-term
长远打算

In high school I was thinking about college, in college I was thinking about life after college. In my teens, I was thinking about 20’s, in my 20’s, I was thinking about my 30s. Now that I’m 30, I’m planning how my life will be in my 40’s. I’m designing my life and I’m making decisions today that will enable me to live the life I desire when I’m in my 40’s, 50’s and 60’s.
上高中时，我在想着上大学的事情，在大学里我想着毕业后的生活；十几岁时我想着20岁的事情，20多岁时我想着30岁的事情。现在我已经30了，我在计划着40岁的生活。我正在设计我的人生，今天我所做的决定会让我在40岁、50岁、60岁时过上想过的生活。

You have to think long-term, you have to see the “big picture.” If you plan your future properly, you will live into your plans.
你得长远打算，看到自己的“蓝图”。如果你对未来的计划得当，你会生活在计划中。

5. Realize the Power of Focus
意识到专注的魔力

Focus, focus, focus… Nothing is more critical than focus. If you fail in this lifetime, you will fail because of broken focus.
关注，关注，还是关注……没有什么比集中注意力更重要的了。如果你的一生很失败，那是因为你没有集中注意力。

If you focus on the goals that are most important to you, to the exclusion of everything else, you will achieve them.
如果你把注意力集中到对你最重要的目标上，排除其他的一切事情，你就会实现目标。

The problem is that there are so many distractions. What separates the winners from the losers is that the winners learn to focus on their goal. Winners decide to major on majors, and they even let important things slip, because they focus solely on achieving that which is critical to their goals.
问题就在于干扰太多。胜者和败者的区别在于，胜者学会专注于他们的目标。胜者下决心把注意力集中在主要的目标上，他们甚至会放弃重要的事情，因为他们只是专注于对他们目标关键的事情。

Focus is the key to success, Tony Robbins said, “Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives.”
集中注意力是取得成功的关键，托尼·罗宾斯说过，“大部分人都不知道，当我们把所有的资源都集中在生活的某一领域内，我们所能获得的那种巨大的能力。”

You have an enormous capacity to accomplish great things, the question is will you do it, will you focus, will you succeed.
你有着巨大的能力来完成伟大的事情，只要你肯做，只要你集中精力，你就会成功。
