Looking back at my younger years, I am
sometimes amazed at how life has turned out. Nothing is exactly what I had
originally planned for. The only thing that stays the same is who I am, my
values, and my interests. If I could go back in time and hang out with my
younger self for a day, here's what I would tell her.
⒈Everything
happens for a reason.
Without mistakes and failure, you would
never have learned. Without pain, you would never have grown. So don't stress
or think that life is unfair, because everything happens for a reason. And only
time will tell what it will teach us.
⒉Focus
on one thing at a time. You can have it all but not all at once.
It is not surprising that many of us are
doing too many things at once. We need to make ends meet. But if you are
working three jobs at a time, it is not likely that you will succeed at any of
them. You have to keep your eyes on the big picture. You have to ask yourself
what exactly do you want to achieve for the next 10 years? Focus on one thing
at a time. Achieve your goals one by one.
⒊You
can plan ahead, but your plan will definitely change when the time comes.
You can plan ahead because sometimes
planning ahead can give you a clearer direction of where you want to go.
However, plans will almost always change, so be prepared！
⒋Trust
your instincts.(直觉)
Don't worry too much about a decision you
have to make. Just do what feels right. You know what you want. You might
consult other people. But deep down, you know what you want. Do what makes you
happy. Because at the end of the day, even if you follow logic, you will want
to quit and follow your heart.
⒌It's
okay to be unsure about your purpose in life.
You might be graduating or have hit a
turning point with your career. You might feel a bit lost and unsure of where
to go. It's okay. Go out there and try as many different things as you can.
Don't ever feel like you're wasting your time. Enjoy the journey. Don't rush.
Every little path will lead you somewhere. And looking back, you will be able
to connect the dots. It will all make sense.
⒍Don't
try too hard with people.
Don't worry if you feel like it's hard to make
new friends. Just be yourself and be as open as you can. It might take a while
until you find new best friends and a mate for life, but when you do, you will
know it. It's not hard work. So, just do your thing and be yourself.
