11.All that stuff that’s stressing you out — it won’t matter in 5 years, let alone 15. When things are happening to you right now, they mean all the world. I had deadlines and projects and people breathing down my neck, and my stress levels went through the roof. I don’t regret the hard work (see above) but I think I would have been less stressed if I could have just realized that it wouldn’t matter a single bit just a few years down the road. Perspective is a good thing to learn.

11.所有事情都把你压得喘不过起来——5年你都受不了，更别说15年。现在在你身上发生的事情，对于此刻的你而言就是全世界。我也有工作完成的截止日期，有需要完成的项目，也有人不停地在旁催促，我的压力指数可以冲到天花板了。我并不后悔努力的工作（如前所述），但是我觉得我可以减少压力，如果我认识到现在看来很重要的事情，其实很多年之后并不算什么。所有要学会以长远的眼光看待事物。

12.The people you make friends with are so much more important than your job or the things you buy. I’ve had a few jobs, I’ve bought a lot of things, and I’ve made a few friends over these last 15 years. Of those, the only thing that still matter to me are the friends. And I wish I could have spent more time with friends (and family) than on the other things.

12.能够结识朋友，远比你的工作和你买的东西重要得多。15年来，我有过几份工作，也买了很多东西，但是却没交几个朋友。然而至今对我来说唯一重要的东西只有朋友，我希望自己能够花更多的时间和朋友（家人）相处，这远胜过其他事情。

13.All that time you spend watching TV is a huge, huge waste of time. I don’t know how much TV I’ve watched over the years, but it’s a crapload. Hours and days and weeks I’ll never have back. Who cares what happens on reality TV, when reality is slipping by outside? Time is something you’ll never get back — don’t waste it on TV.

13.用来看电视的时间是对时间最大最大的浪费。我并不知道自己过去的几年看了多少电视，但是一定很多。成小时、成天、成周的时间，我再也无法追回。谁会在乎电视里正在发生什么，因为现实就在窗外真实地上演。时间是无法挽回的——因此千万不要将其浪费在看电视之上。

14.Your kids are going to grow up way faster than you think. Don’t waste a minute. I just had an Oh My God moment recently. My oldest daughter, Chloe, is 14 going on 15 next month. I have 3 years left with her before she leaves my house and becomes an adult. Three years! I am floored by that single fact, because it really doesn’t seem anywhere near enough time. I want to go back to my younger self and whack that younger Leo on the head and say Stop working so hard! Stop watching TV! Spend more time with your kids! These last 15 years with Chloe (and my other wonderful kids) have gone by much, much too fast.

14.你的孩子长大的速度远比你预期的要快，不要浪费任何一分钟时间。我最近突然发现，我最年长的女儿，克洛伊已经14岁，下个月就满15岁。在她成为大人离开这个家之前，我和她相处的时间只剩3年了。3年啊！我被这个简单的事实无情地击倒了，因为我觉得在任何地方似乎都不存在充足的时间。我希望回到年轻的时候，然后猛击小Leo的头，告诉他：“不要那么卖力的工作了！”“不要再看电视了！”多花些时间和你的孩子在一起，和克洛伊在一起的15年过得也太太太快了！

15.Forget the drama. Focus on being happy. There have been many things that have happened to me, professionally and personally, that seem like the end of the world. And while these things were bad, they get blown up in our heads so that they become major drama. They caused me to be depressed from time to time. What a waste of time. If I realized that it was all in my head, and that I could be happy instead if I focused on the positive, on what I did have, and what I could be doing … I could have skipped all the moping about.

15.我身上发生了太多的事情，无论是工作方面的，还是私人方面的，有时候似乎让我感觉我已经走到了世界的尽头，这些事情让我的大脑要爆炸了，所以我觉得这些事情也太戏剧化了。这些事情让我觉得一直很压抑，这是对时间多大的浪费啊。如果我认识到这些事情不过是自己头脑编造出来的，那么如果我只关注积极的一面，自己就可以变得愉悦，无论我已经做了什么，或者我将会做什么……那么我就可以掠过那些忧郁的过去。

16.Pay more attention to blogs when you first hear about them. They’re more than just journals. I first read about blogs 7-8 years ago, but when I took a look at them theydidn’t seem like anything of interest. Just some people’s journals about stuff they read on the web. Why would I want to read those? I have my own thoughts about the web, but I don’t need to share them with the world. I spent a lot of time on the Internet, on various sites and forums, but every time I happened upon a blog I would brush past it without interest. It wasn’t until a couple years ago that I discovered what wonderful things they could be (I mentioned some of my early favorites in my list of influences). If I had gotten into blogging years ago … well, I wouldn’t have been wasting all that time.

16.当你第一次听说某个博客时，你需要对其给予多一些关注。博客不只是日记。我是7-8年前第一次读到博客，但当我第一次看到他们的适合，我对其并不感兴趣。我觉得这不过是关于一些人在网上读到的一些事物的日记。那我为什么想要阅读呢？我有自己的关于网页的看法，但是我并不需要把这些看法和全世界分享啊。我花了很多时间泡在网上，浏览各种网站和论坛，但是每当我读到博客的时候，我都会无趣地快速掠过。直到几年前，我才发现博客是个多么神奇的东西（我曾经写过一个对我有影响的我早期喜欢的事物清单）。如果我能够早点开始写博客……好吧，我就不会浪费那么多时间。

17.Speaking of which, keep a journal. Seriously. Your memory is extremely faulty. I forget things really easily. Not short-term stuff, but long-term. I don’t remember things about my kids’ early years, because I didn’t record any of it. I don’t remember things about my life. It’s like a lot of foggy memories that I’ll never have access to. I wish I had kept a journal.

17.坚持发表观点，写日记。我很认真，因为你的记忆充满了错误。我很容易忘事儿，不仅近期发生的如此，更别说很久之前发生的。我甚至都不记得自己孩子们早年时光发生的事情，因为我没有对此做任何记录。我也记不起自己之前的生活，它就像一堆模糊的记忆，我无法得其门而入。我真希望自己有写日记的习惯。

18.Tequila is seriously evil. I won’t go into details, but it should suffice to say that I had some bad experiences, and I’m not sure I learned very much from them or benefited in any way except to learn that tequila is the drink of the Devil.

18.龙舌兰酒真的是魔鬼。我不想多说细节，但是我负责任的说这其中有很多十分糟糕的经历。我都不清楚，我是否从中学到了很多，或者有所获益，我只觉得龙舌兰一定是酒中的魔鬼。

19.Yes, you can do a marathon. Don’t put this goal off — it’s extremely rewarding. Running a marathon had always been a dream of mine, since high school … something I wanted to do but thought was out of reach. Or if I ever did it, it would be years and years later. Well, I learned that it’s not only achievable, it’s incredibly rewarding. I wish I had started training when I was young and light and fit … I could have had some good finishing times!

19.没错，你可以开始跑马拉松。不要把这个目标推迟实现——马拉松真的益处多多。自上高中以来，跑马拉松一直是我的梦想之一……我一直想要做，但是一直没能做。如果我要开始跑马拉松，那可能是很多很多年之后的事情。好吧，我认识到马拉松不是唯一的成就，它其实可以让你获益良多。我真希望自己很年轻而且不那么胖时候就开始训练……那么我现在就可以取得一些好成绩。

20.All these mistakes you’re going to make, despite this advice? They’re worth it. My 18-year-old self would probably have read this post and said, “Good advice!” And then he would have proceeded to make the same mistakes, despite good intentions. I was a good kid, but I wasn’t good at following advice. I had to make my own mistakes, and live my own life. And that’s what I did, and I don’t regret a minute of it. Every experience I’ve had (even the tequila ones) have led me down the path of life to where I am today. I love where I am today, and wouldn’t trade it for another life for all the world. The pain, the stress, the drama, the hard work, the mistakes, the depression, the hangovers, the debt, the fat … it was all worth it.

20.所有你犯过的错误（包括这些建议）都是值得的。18岁时候的我，如果读到了这篇文章，我一定会说：“好建议！”但是之后我还是会犯同样的错误，即使没有恶意。我是一个乖乖仔，但是我并不擅长跟随他人的建议行事。我希望自己过自己的生活，犯自己的错。这就是我所做的一切，我并不曾有哪怕一分钟的后悔。我的所有经历（甚至包括龙舌兰酒在内）指引我走上了如今的人生之路。我喜欢如今的自己，绝不会和世界上其它任何一种人生交换。痛过、压力过、沧海桑田过、努力过、错过、低落过、徘徊过、经济危机过、胖过……都是值得的。
