Everyone knows that life is hard, but for girls and women, it can sometimes be especially hard for us to get what we want in life (while still 100 percent getting it, thank you very much). Although my daughter is still small and hasn't had to overcome any strenuous obstacles yet (besides the monkey bars at the playground), she's going to realize soon enough that growing up isn't easy.
每个人都知道生活不易，但身为女孩和女人，有时候得到我们自己想要的东西却尤为困难（虽然我们还是会百分百的得到这些东西，谢谢你的努力）。虽然我的女儿还很小，还不需要克服任何艰难困苦（除了操场上的单杠），但她很快就会意识到成长并不容易。
As her mother, I can't hand over a rulebook for her to follow. All I can do is try to give her the tools she'll need to make good decisions, while giving all my love and support along the way. There are some things that I want her to know about life as a woman, and I hope these lessons help mold her into the iron-willed, caring, strong woman.
作为她的母亲，我无法递给她一本规则手册，让她按其行事。我能做的只是给她做决定时需要的工具、同时也给予她我的爱和支持。我希望作为女人，她能知道生活中的这些事情，我希望这些教训能把她塑造成意志坚定、会关心人的坚强女性。
1. Speak up for yourself and other women if a man is harassing you, physically or verbally. Never remain quiet. Never tolerate it.
1. 如果有男人对你做出身体或言语上的骚扰，那么请为你自己、为其她女性发声。千万别沉默、不要容忍。
2. Speak up for yourself and other women if you aren't being represented properly at school, in the workplace, or in any another area. You deserve to be seen.
2. 如果在学校、在工作场所或者在任何其它地方，你未被恰当代表，那么请为你自己、为其她女性发声。
3. Set a goal, and then set one higher. Believe in yourself that you can do it, because with hard work, there are no boundaries that stand in front of you.
3. 设定一个目标，然后再设定一个更高的目标。相信自己可以做到，因为辛勤努力后，没有什么障碍能够阻挡你。
4. Treat your body well with nutritious foods and exercise. Love that body, and strut it proudly regardless of its size.
4. 好好对待自己的身体：吃营养丰富的食物、锻炼。爱你的身体，并引以为傲（不管尺寸大小）。
5. Your body belongs to you, and you only. It's no one's to talk about and no one's to touch unless you say so.
5. 你的身体只属于你自己。除非得到你的同意，否则无人能提、无人能碰。
6. You can do whatever it is you want to do. Want to be an astronaut? Work hard at math and science and you'll be in the stars in no time.
6. 你可以做你想做的任何事情。想成为宇航员？好好学数学和科学，很快你就能翱翔天际。
7. Follow that gut of yours. Listen to it, never ignore it.
7. 遵循自己的内心。听从你的内心、不要忽视它。
8. Love everyone, regardless of their background.

10. Always get back up. You will fail - all the greats do. But remember to always get back up.
10. 总得重新站起来。你会失败--所有的伟人都失败过。但一定要记得重新站起来。
