Life Isn't a Competition
生命不是一场竞赛
[14] You will meet many people who will try to outdo you, in school, in college, at work. They'll try to have nicer cars, bigger houses, nicer clothes, cooler gadgets. To them, life is a competition — they have to do better than their peers to be happy.
[14] 你会遇到一些人他们总是试图超过你，在中学，在大学，在工作中。他们想要拥有更好的车，更大的房子，更好的衣物，更酷的小玩意。对他们来说，生命就是一场竞赛——他们不得不比同辈做得更好来让自己感到快乐。
[15] Here's a secret: Life isn't a competition. It's a journey. If you spend that journey always trying to impress others, to outdo others, you’re wasting your journey. Instead, learn to enjoy the journey. Make it a journey of Happiness, of constant learning, of continual improvement, of love.
[15] 这里有一个秘诀：生命并不是一场竞赛，而是一段旅程。如果你在途中一直都试图给他人留下深刻印象，超过别人，那你就浪费了这段旅程。与之相反，学会享受这段旅程，让它成为快乐之旅，永恒的学习之旅，持久的进步之旅以及爱之旅。
[16] Don't worry about having a nicer car or house or anything material, or even a better-paying job. None of that matters a whit, and none of it will make you happier. You'll acquire these things and then only want more. Instead, learn to be satisfied with having enough — and then use the time you would have wasted trying to earn money to buy those things … use that time doing things you love.
[16] 不要操心拥有一辆更好的车或一所更好的房子或者任何物质的东西，即便是一份薪水更高的工作。这些根本无足轻重，也无一会使你更快乐。你得到这些东西之后只会想要更多的。与之相反，学会知足而乐——然后学会利用你原本想要浪费去挣钱买这些东西的时间去做你真正热爱的事。
[17] Find your passion, and pursue it doggedly. Don't settle for a job that pays the bills. Life is too short to waste on a job you hate.
[17] 找到你的激情，坚持不懈地追求它。别让自己被一个还债的的工作所累。生命如此短暂，不可将之浪费在你所厌恶的工作上。
