人生必須面對的殘酷事實
6. You can’t accomplish great things without taking great risks.
不入虎穴焉得虎子
Here’s another harsh truth many people have trouble grasping: if you don’t take risks you will have a lot harder time accomplishing what you want in life. People who truly change the world are the biggest risk takers. They’re the ones who are willing to put everything on the line and fail for something they believe in. And they treat each failure as an opportunity to grow and get better.
這又是一個很多人不能領會的殘酷現實：如果你不能冒險，想實現你所追求的就會更加困難。那些真正改變世界的人都是最大的冒險家。他們情愿讓一切出于危險之中，也肯為了他們所信仰的事而失敗。他們認為每一次失敗都是一次成長、變得更好的機會。
7. You may be better off without some of the people you currently care about.
沒有了你眼下在乎的某些人，你的生活也許更美好
This one is tough to hear, I know. But chances are, there’s someone in your life you care about deeply who is holding you back. That’s not to say you should give up on the people you love. However, there comes a time when you need to make the tough decision to say no to people who aren’t helping you grow.
我知道這一點聽起來很難以接受。但有可能你生命中某個你特別在乎的人阻礙了你前進。這不是說你要放棄那些你愛的人。可是有時候你需要作出艱難的決定，對那些不能幫助你成長的人說不。
8. Death is a part of life.
死亡是人生的一部分
Nothing can prepare us for the earth-shattering pain of losing a loved one. The harsh truth of life is that it’s a viscous cycle. However, there’s something you can do to make losing someone you love a lot less painful: make them a part of your life right now. Don’t put off making that phone call or paying a random visit to a friend or family member you haven’t seen in a while. Treat every moment with your loved ones as if it’s your last, and you won’t have any regrets.
面對失去所愛之人的巨大痛苦，我們總是無所適從。殘酷的現實在于，這是一個黏性的循環。但是你可以做一些事情，讓這種痛苦減輕一些：從現在起就讓他們成為你人生中的一部分。別推遲給那些好久沒見的朋友或家人打電話或者上門拜訪。每次和你愛的人們相處時都把它當做是最后一次，這樣你就不會有任何遺憾了。
9. You are the only thing holding yourself back from greatness.
你是自己通向偉大的唯一阻礙
Often we get so caught up hoping for the next great thing that we don’t realize what’s unfolding right in front of our faces. Don’t hold yourself back with negative thoughts. Instead, focus on the positive things you have going in your life. Choose to be happy right now.
我們總是期待著下一件好事情，卻沒有意識到它正在我們面前發生。別被消極的念頭所阻礙。相反，要關注那些發生在你生活中的積極的事情。選擇快樂，就是現在。
10. Sometimes bad things happen to good people.
有時候好人也會遇到壞事
Suffering is part of life. But here’s the cool thing: it makes us stronger. There’s a randomness to how the world works that’s really hard to understand. We see evidence of this every day, and it can really make you question the future of mankind. How you choose to view the world is up to you. Just remember, the truth, however harsh, will set you free.
磨難是人生的一部分。但好處在于，它會讓我們更強大。世界的運轉總有隨機性，這確實難以理解。我們每天都會看到這種證據，這的確會讓你質疑人類的未來。你如何看待這個世界由你自己決定。只需要記住，現實不論多么殘酷，都會讓你自由
