It's crazy how quickly time is going by. Every year, I make goals for myself and can never seem to accomplish them all. It's like I try to cram all of these tasks -- for instance, starting a company, winning the lottery, getting a book deal, creating a TV show, etc. -- into a year, but most are not actually all that realistic. Like, I'm probably not going to become famous overnight, right? However, beyond the many things I hope to accomplish some time in the near future, there are a couple of things I -- and you -- should do in the new year no matter what.
时间如白驹过隙,每年我都给自己制定目标,却从没能够实现。好像我总试图把这些计划——比如,开公司、赢彩票、出本书、创办电视秀等等,全部塞到一年中去;可事实上大部分都不切实际。就像我不可能一夜暴富一样,是吧?不过,撇开许多我希望能在不久的将来实现的目标,下面这些——我认为大家无论如何都应该在新年里做好。
Here are 9 things every 20-something should do in 2014:
下面就是20多岁年轻人在2014年应该做的事情:
1. Be active.
积极进取。
Whether you're going to the gym twice a day every day or you're taking walks around your neighborhood three times a week, make sure you are doing some sort of physical activity on the regular. Don't say you're too busy for it... we're all busy. You just need to make time for it (especially if you sit at a desk all week long). Whether that time is on the weekend, at 5:00 a.m. every day, or right before you go to bed, make it happen. Five minutes of crunches is better than nothing.
无论你打算每天去两次健身房,还是每周在小区内散三次步,都应保证自己有规律地进行体能运动。不要推说太忙没时间运动——大家都很忙。你只需挤点时间就行(尤其当你整个星期都久坐在桌前的时候)。不论是在周末还是每天早上5:00,或者睡觉之前,只要有时间,就去运动。做五分钟仰卧起坐总比一点都不运动的好。
