They say youth is wasted on the young. Are you wasting yours?
许多人说年轻人在浪费自己的青春，你也在浪费吗？
1. Travel as much as you can before responsibility takes hold.

不要把你高中时学的西班牙语都还给老师了。要不断更新学习内容。
3. Go see that musician you love so much.
去见你最喜欢的音乐家
“Nah, dude, I’ll catch Nirvana next time they come through town.” Facepalm.
“喏，臭小子，下一次 Nirvana来我们镇的时候，我要去见他”
4. Tackle the things that make you uncomfortable.
处理使你不舒服的事情

Wrinkles, moles, and skin cancer can largely be avoided if you protect yourself.
如果你好好保护自己，皱纹，痣和皮肤癌在很大程度上可以避免。

Don’t let gender roles define you. Few things are as sad as an old person saying, “Well, it just wasn’t done back then.”

8. Make physical fitness a priority.

11. Listen to (at least some) of your parent’s advice.
多听父母（至少是部分）的意见
You don’t want to hear it, but the infuriating truth is that your parents have probably been through a lot more than you realize and have some actual wisdom to share.
你往往不想听，但可气的事实是，父母可能经历的比你了解的要多很多，他们可以分享给你一些真正的智慧。

勇敢说出“我爱你”
When you’re old, you won’t care if your love wasn’t returned — only that you made it known how you felt.
当你年迈的时候，你不会在意付出的爱是否有回报，而只在乎你是否说出了心中的感受。
