Don't be afraid of change and uncertainty.

不要害怕變化和不確定性。

They are your allies.

他們是你的盟友。

The pursuit of stability is not a bad thing.

追求穩定並不是什麼壞事。

In fact, many times this pursuit of stability drives us to improve ourselves and solve problems.

事實上，很多時候正是這種對穩定的追求在驅使我們自我提升、解決問題。

But if you cannot stand any uncertainty at all, then the result will be exactly the opposite.

不過如果你完全不能忍受任何不確定性，那結果就會完全相反。

No matter how stable the working environment is, there always exists uncertainty, which is especially evident in the Internet era.

不管多麼穩定的工作環境都存在著不確定性，這在互聯網時代尤其明顯。

A company’s personnel may change, new products may fail, and new leaders may change the direction of the strategic development.

公司的人員可能會變動，新推出的產品可能會失敗，新來的領導可能會改變戰略發展方向。

Real opportunities only appear in uncertain areas, and that is what makes them opportunities.

況且真正的機會只會出現在不確定的領域，正因為這樣它們才是機會。

If an opportunity is already certain when it appears, and everyone can see it and know how to get it, then it is no longer an opportunity.

如果一個機會在出現時已經顯得很確定，那麼大家就都能看到它並且知道如何去獲取它，而這麼一來它也就不再是個機會了。

A person who can only work in a completely safe field can be easily replaced. A person who can handle more uncertainties is the one who will seize more opportunities.

一個只能在完全安全的領域裡工作的人是很容易被替換掉的，能夠應對一定的不確定性你才能握有更多的籌碼。

Missed flights, cancelled rides and changed planes make solo travelers incredibly resilient. After grappling through the ups and downs of a solo trip, you're capable of bouncing back from pretty much anything life throws your way.

飛機誤點、行程取消還有計劃改變，獨自旅行者因而變得異常平靜，接受各種變化。經歷過獨自旅行的起起伏伏，無論人生途中有何坎坷，都可以自我恢復。

Solo adventure taught me a ton about relationships and human connection. Solo traveling pushed me out of my comfort zone.

一個人旅行教了我很多有關人際關係的處理，促使我走出自己的舒適區。

Yes, safety is a concern in certain locations, and it's often pleasant to have someone to share the scenery with. But never underestimate the glory of traveling solo, because you'll learn things you can't learn any other way.

確實，有些地方的安全問題是要考慮的，同他人共享美景往往也令人愉悅。但不要低估獨自旅行的榮光，因為你能學到別處學不到的東西。

If you have the heart of an explorer, traveling alone is an excellent way to see the world on your own terms. But it can also be scary, self-reliance was at the core of your being.

但如果你內心是個探險家，那麼一個人獨自旅行是看這個世界絕佳的方法。 獨自一人也可能很駭人，依靠自己是你存在的核心。

As we 'grow up' it becomes impractical to up-and-leave. Valid reasons like job security, relationships and making rent replace our once happy-to-rough-it-for-months mentality.

我們慢慢“長大”，“說走就走”變得越來越不可行。工作安全感、人際關係和房屋租金等真切存在的理由替代了我們曾經“快樂度日、得過且過”的思維方式。

As a solo traveler, you are more open, more willing to make friends, and share experiences with others along the way, and this reveals itself in your actions and your face.

一個人旅行，你會變得更開明、更願意結交朋友、更樂於和別人分享一路的遊歷體驗，這會體現在你的行為中，也會寫在你的臉上。

The ironic thing about traveling solo is that you're rarely ever actually alone. There's always an open seat next to you, whether you're on a plane, train, or bus, and sometimes that can lead to unwanted adventures.

具諷刺意味的是，獨自旅行時你很少真正獨處。你身旁總會有一個空位，無論你在飛機、火車還是公交車上，有時還會帶你開啟一場你不曾期待的冒險。
