1.If you do anything, do this first one: learn how to work hard and stick with something. Learn how to turn off Facebook and control your addiction to social media. You'll instantly be ahead of a majority of your generation.

1.無論你要做什麼，首先做到這一點：學會如何努力做事，並且學會堅持。要學會關掉臉書（微博等）社交網絡，控制自己對社交網絡的依賴。你很快就會比大多數同齡人領先了。

2.Video games are a time sink. If you can play for an hour and say "That was fun, let's do something else" then you're ok. Otherwise, just get rid of them.

2.遊戲是個時間殺手般的無底洞。如果你是那種玩一小時遊戲，然後覺得“啊，有意思嘛。現在我要乾點別的了”（控制得住自己的話）那還能玩玩。不然，別玩遊戲。

3.Pick up an athletic hobby that you can do through the years, or your sedentary academic lifestyle will do horrible things to your posture, back, and gut.

3.選擇一項可以全年進行的運動，不然你長期缺乏鍛鍊（坐著多）的學術生活會嚴重影響你的身姿、脊柱和膽識。

4.Learn how to deal with interpersonal conflicts. Read Crucial Conversations and practice - it's a lifechanger

4.學會如何處理人際衝突。閱讀《關鍵對話：如何高效溝通》一書並且努力練習——這本書將改變你的人生。

5.Learn how to talk on the phone with people you don't know. It still terrifies most people. Get a phone sales job and quit after a few weeks.

5.學會跟陌生人打電話。很多人依然很害怕與不認識的人通話。方法是：找一個電話銷售工作，幹幾個禮拜體驗一下就夠了。

6.Start some kind of little side venture to learn entrepreneurial principles. Start a window washing business, buy and sell stuff on Craigslist, do anything. You might need them if you're in between jobs.

6.做點副業來學習創業技巧：開展洗窗戶的業務，在Craigslist上買賣東西等。沒有正式工作的時候能救急。

*譯者注：中國的話，主要就是淘寶和雙向代購，不僅僅能賺到零花錢。

7.Take a course on statistics and how they're misused, specifically how faulty causal arguments are made. It will change the way you approach almost any discussion, quantitative or not. (Read How to Lie with Statistics: Darrell Huff)

7.學習統計，瞭解統計數字是如何被誤用的，尤其要關注那些錯誤的因果關係是如何得出的。這能改變你對幾乎所有論述的認識，無論是否與數量本身有關。（閱讀《如何用統計數字來騙人》一書）

8.Always have a private place where you can talk out loud to God every day. Even if you're not religious or don't believe in God. Talk out loud to the universe. Sort out your thoughts, verbalize them, and then write down what comes to mind. Something wiser than you is listening and responding, even if it's just another side of you.

8.為自己保有一個可以每天大聲與上帝說話的私人空間。無論你是否有宗教信仰，是否信仰上帝。大聲與宇宙交談。理清你的思緒，用語言說出來，然後寫下腦中產生的想法。比你擁有更高智慧的存在會聆聽並給予迴應，即使那是你自己本人的另一面。

9.Use http://Mint.com to track your expenses. Make a budget and learn how to stick to it. Learn to live lean now while you can, so you won't be forced to later on.

9.使用 http://Mint.com （記賬網站）來記錄收支。學會做預算並且堅持在預算內花銷。在現在還有條件選擇的情況下學會簡樸的生活，以後遇到困境就不會不知所措。

10.Learn a foreign language, but only if you anticipate using it. Sure, there are side benefits, but you'll forget it.

10.學習一門以後打算使用的外語。儘管學外語本身是有很多附加的好處，但不用的話你肯定會忘的。*譯者注：泣血支持這條建議，除非打算做語言學家，或者天賦異稟學什麼都忘不了。

11.Learn how to network. Read "Never Eat Alone." Hint: it's about doing things for other people.

11.學會建立人脈。閱讀《別獨自用餐》一書。提示：這本書是關於為別人做些事情的。

12.Find music that inspires you and makes you feel alive. Listen to it every morning and if it's something embarrassing just don't tell your friends about it.

12.找到能夠激勵你並且讓你充滿活力的音樂。每天早晨聽一下，如果你覺得讓別人知道了會不好意思，別告訴朋友就行了。

*譯者注：如果聽《最炫民族風》能突然原地滿血復活，那就聽嘛，關鍵是效果，不告訴別人就好了。

13.Save up a few thousand dollars and go somewhere crazy with a few friends. Live in a hostel for a few weeks. Get malaria if you have to. It will change your life and you will think about it forever (not the malaria part - you'll get over that.)

13.存個千把塊錢，拉著若干好友去個瘋狂有趣的地方。在青年旅館住幾個星期，實在得了瘧疾避免不了麼，也別太放心上。你的人生將因此而改變，並且你會永遠記得這次旅行（當然瘧疾的部分除外——你絕對會痊癒的）

14.When someone promises you easy money, run the other way. Yes, it IS a scam.

14.當有人跟你說什麼錢很好賺，別聽他的。對，絕對肯定百分之百是大騙子。

15.Read a book a week. When you get ridiculously wealthy, read a book a day. Read fiction too.

15.每週讀一本書。如果你富得流油，每天讀一本書。小說（虛構類作品）也要讀。
