【摘要】;精品学习网整理了避免后悔的几件事情，千万别给自己后悔的机会。
1. Wearing a mask to impress others.
为了取悦他人戴着面具生活。
If the face you always show the world is a mask, someday there will be nothing beneath it. Because when you spend too much time concentrating on everyone else’s perception of you, or who everyone else wants you to be, you eventually forget who you really are. So don’t fear the judgments of others; you know in your heart who you are and what’s true to you. You don’t have to be perfect to impress and inspire people. Let them be impressed and inspired by how you deal with your imperfections.
如果你总是戴着面具面对世界，总有一天面具下会是一个空壳。因为当你花了太多时间专注于他人对你的看法，或者其他人希望你成为怎样的人，你最终会忘记你到底是谁。所以不要害怕他人的评判，你的心里很清楚你是谁，哪些才是你真实的一面。你没有必要为了取悦他人而追求完美。用你克服不完美的方式来打动别人。
2. Letting someone else create your dreams for you.
让别人来打造你的梦想。
The greatest challenge in life is discovering who you are; the second greatest is being happy with what you find. A big part of this is your decision to stay true to your own goals and dreams. Do you have people who disagree with you? Good. It means you’re standing your ground and walking your own path. Sometimes you’ll do things considered crazy by others, but when you catch yourself excitedly losing track of time, that’s when you’ll know you’re doing the right thing.
人生最大的挑战在于发现你是谁;而第二大的挑战就是乐于接受你所发现的东西。很重要的一点在于你做出的决定能忠实于自己的目标和梦想。你周围是否有些人不同意你的决定呢?很好。这意味着你正坚定立场，走自己的路。有时你所做的事情在别人看来很疯狂，但当你兴奋地投入其中甚至忘记了时间，那时你就会知道，你正在做一件对的事。
3. Keeping negative company.
和负面情绪的人为伴。
Don’t let someone who has a bad attitude give it to you. Don’t let them get to you. They can’t pull the trigger if you don’t hand them the gun. When you remember that keeping the company of negative people is a choice, instead of an obligation, you free yourself to keep the company of compassion instead of anger, generosity instead of greed, and patience instead of anxiety.
别让那些态度消极的人左右你，别让他们接近你。如果你不给他们机会，他们就无法对你带来影响。你要记住，和这些负面情绪的人为伴并不是一种义务，只是在于你的选择。这样你就会和亲近那些有同情心的人，远离那些愤怒的人;亲近那些宽容的人，远离那些贪婪的人;亲近那些有耐心的人，远离那些焦躁的人。
4. Being selfish and egotistical.
自私任性。
A life filled with loving deeds and good character is the best tombstone. Those who you inspired and shared your love with will remember how you made them feel long after your time has expired. So carve your name on hearts, not stone. What you have done for yourself alone dies with you; what you have done for others and the world remains.
充满善行和美好品质的一生是一个人最好的墓碑。那些你所激励过而且与他们分享了你的爱的人，即使你已经离开这个世界很久，也会记得你所给予他们的。把你的名字刻在他们心中，而不是石头上。你为自己做的事情会随着你的离世一起消亡;而你为他人和这个世界做的事情会长存。
5. Avoiding change and growth.
拒绝改变和成长。
If you want to know your past look into your present conditions. If you want to know your future look into your present actions. You must let go of the old to make way for the new; the old way is gone, never to come back. If you acknowledge this right now and take steps to address it, you will position yourself for lasting success.
如果你想了解自己的过去，就看看你目前的状况。如果你想了解你的未来，就看看你目前的行动。你应该放下过去，为新的生活努力;过去已经过去，永远不可能再回来。如果你现在能正确意识到这一点，并且为之而努力，你一定会获得长久的成功。
