Introduction: Why Be Interesting(導言: 為什麼要有趣)
To limit your regrets. So you can respect yourself. In order to banish boredom. So that you can leave a mark, not a blemish. And most of all, because you can.
為了限制你的遺憾。這樣你就能尊重自己。為了消除無聊。這樣你就能留下印記,而不是污點。最重要的是,因為你能夠做到。
個人評價
個人定位是輕鬆愉快的英文學習書,可以當做地鐵讀物。
實體書的質感十分不錯,當然代價是全綵外文原版書籍非常貴,實體書也極力不推薦讀者購買。
即使很多單詞看不太懂,通過圖畫的形式也能理解大概,這樣的英語學習方式挺不錯的。
關於本書特點,大概是有些道理比較獨特,讓人眼前一亮。

Step 3 Do Something anything(做任何事情)
Dance. Talk. Build. Network. Play. Help. Create. It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you’re doing it. Sitting around and complaining is not an acceptable form of “something,” in case you were wondering.
跳舞。交談。建設。聯網。玩耍。幫助。創造。重要的是你在做什麼,而不是你在做什麼。
坐在那裏抱怨並不是一種可接受的“做點什麼”的方式,如果你在疑惑的話。
Eat:吃飯
Watch TV:看電視
Sleep:睡覺
Why you are sad:為什麼你傷心
Go outside:到户外去
Real life is always in 3-D. It’s always in high-definition. Outside is where the fascinating people and happenings are. It’s where you’ll find whatever it is you’re looking for.
現實生活總是以三維形式存在,總是高清晰度的。
外面才是那些迷人的人和事所在的地方。那裏是你會找到你所尋找的一切的地方。

Do what you want:做你想做的事情
If it is unappetizing: Do not eat, date, or sign up for it. If the mere thought of it is depressing: Do not major in it, sit through it, or devote your life to it. If it is not important to you: Do not do it only because it is important to someone else. You will thank yourself.
如果它讓你沒胃口:不要吃、不要約會、也不要報名參加。
如果僅是想到它就讓你沮喪:不要以此為專業、不要忍受它、也不要把一生奉獻給它。

How you spend your day:您如何度過一天

Not sure what to do with your day? Your life? Your career? Frankly, it doesn’t matter. Even the most intricately organized plans can crumble. And oscillating between options is a great way to procrastinate your life away. Flip a coin. Spin a bottle. Trust your gut. And off you go.
不知道該如何度過一天?你的生活?你的事業?坦率地説,這並不重要。
即使是最複雜的計劃也會崩潰。
而在各種選擇之間搖擺不定,則是讓你的生活一拖再拖的好辦法。擲硬幣。轉瓶子。
相信你的直覺。然後出發。
評價:過多的思考不如立即行動來的踏實。
You’ll need help. You’ll need advice. You’ll need allies. So you have to tell someone how you feel and what you’re up to. Let people in on what you’re doing.
你會需要幫助。你會需要建議。
你會需要盟友。
所以,你必須告訴某人你的感受和你正在做的事情。讓人瞭解你在做什麼。
They will champion and support you more than you ever imagined, and mock you less than you fear.
他們會比你想象的更加支持和擁護你,嘲笑你的可能性則比你擔心的要少。

諷刺妨礙了經歷。
放下偽裝,你就會有空間來度過美好時光。

Ditch the junk:拋棄垃圾
Not every activity is worthwhile. Not every dreadful task is mandatory. Avoid the things that drag you down and make you weary. And if you must do them (laundry, taxes), then do them with gusto and put them out of your mind. You’ll have more room for what matters. More room for what’s interesting.
並非每一項活動都是值得的。並非每一項可怕的任務都是必須的。
避免那些拖累你、讓你感到疲倦的事情。如果你必須去做(比如洗衣服、交税),那就全力以赴地去做,然後將其拋諸腦後。
這樣你就會有更多的空間去做重要的事情。有更多的空間去做有趣的事情。

Work:工作
Whimper:嗚咽

從一個驚奇開始。這是如何運作的?是什麼讓那件事發生?然後探究。
拆開東西再重新組裝起來。按按鈕。改變設置。看看各部件如何連接。
看看是什麼驅動了引擎。看看這一切是多麼有趣。

Seek someone who makes you smile. Someone who lives the way you want to. Someone you admire. Someone real and imperfect. Learn from them two things:

你珍視着人、土地和事物。它們珍貴而強大。為它們而奮鬥。不要讓它們只是懶散地躺在你心靈的後面。被忽視的愛會枯萎而死。
