英語美文：明白太晚的10堂人生課（下）

Number 6-Discover your niche. Our lives are filled with all kinds of norms and expectations. People expect you to wear certain clothes. They expect you to know certain words. They even expect you to watch certain movies. Over the years you've been taught to blend into the crowd. You learned that the best way to find success is to be as normal and mainstream as possible. 

第六，找準(zhǔn)自己的定位。在我們的生活中，到處是各種規(guī)范，各種預(yù)期。人們期望你穿某種衣服，期望你明白某些詞語，甚至期望你去看某些電影。這么多年來，你一直被教導(dǎo)，要融入集體。你知道，獲得成功的最好方式，就是盡可能遵守常規(guī)，盡可能隨大流。

It takes decades for people to realize just how worthless those social norms really are, because the things that actually mean something to you come directly from you. No one tells you that life is about finding a unique niche to call your own. The rest of the world may not notice or care. But that's not what's important. As long as you find something that's meaningful to you, then it will always be worth doing. 

人們要花上幾十年的時(shí)間，才能明白，這些社會(huì)規(guī)范是多么一文不值，因?yàn)閷?duì)你有意義的東西，都是從你自己身上來的。不會(huì)有人告訴你，人生的意義，在于尋找自己獨(dú)特的定位。這個(gè)道理，全世界都不關(guān)注，也都不在乎。但是，這才是最重要的事情。只要你找到了對(duì)自己而言有意義的事，那么，它總是值得你去做的。

Number 7-Choose passion over money. Many people base their entire lives around their paycheck. They choose whatever field earns them the most money and then they struggle through years and years of schooling. But when they finally get there they realized that a big pay check isn't as fulfilling as they thought. Money can buy you a lot of things, a fancy house, expensive clothes, the fastest coolest cars. But happiness is something you can't buy with all the money in the world. 

第七，選擇你的熱愛，而不是為錢工作。有很多人，他們一輩子都在為錢奮斗。他們選擇最掙錢的領(lǐng)域，然后刻苦學(xué)習(xí)很多年。但是，當(dāng)他們真正工作時(shí)，才發(fā)現(xiàn)，薪水帶來的滿足感，比他們想象中的少得多。錢能讓你買很多東西，買豪宅，買奢侈的衣服，買最酷炫的車，但是，錢買不到快樂，用盡世界上所有的錢，都買不到快樂。

So, as you're searching for your path in life, don't base your decision on the number of zeros in your salary. Choose a path that sparks your interest that gets you excited that leaves you feeling fulfilled at the end of your day, because that's the kind of work that you're truly passionate about.

所以，在人生中，你尋找自己的道路時(shí)，不要為了你的收入中那幾個(gè)零而做決定。選擇能夠激發(fā)你的興趣，能夠讓你興奮，能讓你感到滿足的工作，因?yàn)檫@才是你的熱情所在。
