草图大师旋转捕捉点:30年里学到的30个真理

These are simple lessons about life in general that he picked up while traveling, living in different cities, working for different companies (and himself), and meeting remarkable and unusual people everywhere in between.

生活中的很多简单的道理通常是在当人们旅行，住在不同的城市，为不同的公司和自己工作，还有与杰出的不同寻常的人在很多地方见面时，可以得到的。

1. There comes a point in life when you get tired of chasing everyone and trying to fix everything, but it's not giving up. It's realizing you don't need certain people and things and the drama they bring.

1.当你厌倦追逐所有人和设法去弥补所有事情时，生活中总会有一个转折点，但不是放弃。你不需要某些人和事，还有他们所带来的故事，是很现实的。

2. If a person wants to be a part of your life they will make an obvious effort to do so. Don't bother reserving a space in your heart for people who do not make an effort to stay.

2.如果一个人想成为你生活的一部分，他会很明显的付出努力去实现它。不要为一些不付出努力的人来留出你心中的位置。

3. If you want to fly, you have to give up the things that weigh you down – which is not always as obvious and easy as it sounds.

3.如果你想要飞，你就不得不放弃那些让你觉得沉重的东西，虽然这不是总是像它听起来那样，很明显而且很轻易就能做到的。

4. Doing something and getting it wrong is at least ten times more productive than doing nothing.

4.与其什么都不做，不如做一些事，并且让它最少错十次以上来的更富有成效。

5. Every success has a trail of failures behind it, and every failure is leading towards success. You don't fail by falling down. You fail by never getting back up. Sometimes you just have to forget how you feel, remember what you deserve, and keep pushing forward.

5.每一次成功背后都有失败，每一次失败都会更接近成功。你不会因摔倒而失败，但却会无法重新振作起来而失败。有时，你仅仅只要忘记你的感受，记住你所拥有的，然后继续前进就好。

6. When you get to know people with different ethnic backgrounds, from different cities and countries, who live at various socioeconomic levels, you begin to realize that everyone basically wants the same things. They want validation, love, happiness, fulfillment and hopes for a better future. The way they pursue these desires is where things branch off, but the fundamentals are the same. You can relate to almost everyone everywhere if you look past the superficial facades that divide us.

6.当你开始了解不同民族背景，来自不同的城市和国家，并且生活在多种社会经济阶层的人们时，你开始意识到每个人基本上都想要得到一样的东西。他们想要验证、爱、幸福、充实感和对未来更好的生活的希望。他们追逐这些期望的方式是在不同的分岔路，但是基本原理是一样的。如果你回顾过去那些使我们分开的那些表面事物，你可以联系起几乎每个地方的每个人。

7. The more things you own, the more your things own you. Less truly gives you more freedom. Read The Joy of Less.

7、当你拥有更多的东西时，他们会更依赖你。少，给你更多的自由。请阅读《少的乐趣》

8. While you're busy looking for the perfect person, you'll probably miss the imperfect person who could make you perfectly happy. This is as true for friendships as it is for intimate relationships. Finding a companion or a friend isn't about trying to transform yourself into the perfect image of what you think they want. It's about being exactly who you are and then finding someone who appreciates that.

8、当你忙于寻找那个完美的人时，你可能会忽视那个不怎么完美，但可以使你完全开心的人。这就像是对友谊和亲密关系的真理。寻找一个同伴或朋友不是要把你自己变成一个你认为他们需要的完美的印象。这是关于你是谁和找到那些欣赏你的人。

9. Relationships must be chosen wisely. It's better to be alone than to be in bad company. There's no need to rush. If something is meant to be, it will happen – in the right time, with the right person, and for the best reason.

9、人与人之间的关系必须被广泛的选择。一个人比在一个不好的公司好。不需要很匆忙。如果有什么事情是命中注定的，它会发生在一个正确的时间，和那个对的人还有那个最好的理由。

10. Making a thousand friends is not a miracle. A miracle is making one friend who will stand by your side when thousands are against you.

10、和一千个人做朋友不是一个奇迹。奇迹是有一个能在千万人反对你时，站在你身边的朋友。

11. Someone will always be better looking. Someone will always be smarter. Someone will always be more charismatic. But they will never be you – with your exact ideas, knowledge and skills.

11、有些人总会看上去更好看。有些人总会更聪明。有些人总会更有魅力。但他们从来不是你，拥有你的思想，知识和技能。

12. Making progress involves risk. Period. You can't make it to second base with your foot on first.

12、在前进中涉及风险。期间，你要脚踏实地的走好每一步，不能第一步没走稳就急于迈出第二步。

13. Every morning you are faced with two choices: You can aimlessly stumble through the day not knowing what's going to happen and simply react to events at a moment's notice, or you can go through the day directing your own life and making your own decisions and destiny. Read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

13、每个早晨你都会面对两个选择：漫无目的的度过一天，不知道这一天都发生了些什么，并对简单的对事件作出反应。或者你可以按照自己的想法度过一天，做出自己的主人。请阅读《高效率的人所拥有的7种习惯》

14. Everyone makes mistakes. If you can't forgive others, don't expect others to forgive you. To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you.

14、每个人都会犯错。如果你不能原谅其他人，那就不要期待别人来原谅你了。原谅会使一个犯人自由，你会发现自己就是那个犯人。

15. It's okay to fall apart for a little while. You don't always have to pretend to be strong, and there is no need to constantly prove that everything is going well. You shouldn't be concerned with what other people are thinking either – cry if you need to – it's healthy to shed your tears. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to smile again.

15、偶尔的颓废是正常的。你不用总是假装自己很坚强，也不需要经常证明所有事情都很顺利。你也不必担心其他人怎么想，如果需要就哭吧，流泪是健康的。你越早做，你就能越早重新微笑。

16. We sometimes do things that are permanently foolish just because we are temporarily upset. A lot of heartache can be avoided if you learn to control your emotions.

16、我们经常做一些愚蠢的事只是因为我们暂时的失落。如果你学着去控制自己的情绪，许多心病可以避免。

17. Someone else doesn't have to be wrong for you to be right. There are many roads to what's right. You cannot judge others by your own past. They are living a different life than you. What might be good for one person may not be good for another. What might be bad for one person might change another person's life for the better. You have to allow people to make their own mistakes and their own decisions.

17、没有人要为了你觉得正确的事情而犯错。通往正确的路有很多条。你不能用自己过往的经验去判断其他人。他们过着不同的生活。对一个人也许是好的，但对另一个人来说却不是。对一个人来说也许是坏事情，却也许可以使另一个人的生活变得更好。你要允许人们犯错并且自己做主。

18. Nobody is perfect, and nobody deserves to be perfect. Nobody has it easy. You never know what people are going through. Every one of us has issues. So don't belittle yourself or anyone else. Everybody is fighting their own unique war.

18、没有人是完美的，没有人应该是完美的。没有人能轻易变得完美。你永远不知道其他人经历了什么。每个人都有自己的烦恼。所以不要相信自己或任何人。每个人都在为自己而战。

19. A smile doesn't always mean a person is happy. Sometimes it simply means they are strong enough to face their problems.

19、一个人的微笑不总意味着他幸福。有时它单纯的意味着他们正有着足够的勇气面对自己的问题。

20. The happiest people I know keep an open mind to new ideas and ventures, use their leisure time as a means of mental development, and love good music, good books, good pictures, good company and good conversation. And oftentimes they are also the cause of happiness in others – me in particular.

20、我认识的最幸福的人保持着一个开放的心胸来接受新的思想和挑战，用他们的闲暇时间来发展心灵，他们热爱好的音乐、书、图片、还有公司和好的对话。并且时常他们也是别人的快乐之源——尤其是我。

21. You can't take things too personally. Rarely do people do things because of you. They do things because of them.

21、对待事情不能太个人化。很少有人因为你而做事情。他们为自己做事。

22. Feelings change, people change, and time keeps rolling. You can hold on to past mistakes or you can create your own happiness. A smile is a choice, not a miracle. True happiness comes from within. Don't make the mistake of waiting on someone or something to come along and make you happy.

22、感觉变化了，人变了，时间继续流淌。你可以抓住自己过去的错误不放，你也可以创造自己的幸福。微笑是一种选择，不是奇迹。真正的幸福是发自内心的。不要犯这样的错误,在等待某人或某事来临,让你幸福的东西。

23. It's much harder to change the length of your life than it is to change the depth of it.

23、改变你生命的长度远远比改变生命的深度难

24. You end up regretting the things you did NOT do far more than the things you did.

24、对于已经做过的事情，你会对自己未做的事感到深深的后悔。

25. When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you.

25、当你停止追逐错的事物时，你给了自己抓住对的事情的机会。

26. One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world that's trying to make you like everyone else.

26、生命中最大的挑战之一，是在试着把你变成像所有人一样的世界里，做自己。

27. Enjoy the little things, because one day you may look back and discover they were the big things. Read The Book of Awesome.

27、享受细小的东西，因为有一天你也许会回顾它并发现他们是这么重要。请阅读《书的可怕》

28. Anyone can make a difference. Making one person smile can change the world. Maybe not the whole world, but their world.

28、任何人都可以不同的。让一个人微笑可以改变世界。也许不是整个世界，却可能是他们的世界。

29. Everything is a life lesson. Everyone you meet, everything you encounter, etc. They're all part of the learning experience we call 'life.' Never forget to acknowledge the lesson, especially when things don't go your way. If you don't get a job that you wanted or a relationship doesn't work, it only means something better is out there waiting. And the lesson you just learned is the first step towards it.

29、每个事物都是一个生活的道理，每个你遇到的人和事等。他们是全部的学习经验，我们称之为“生活”。永远不要忘记承认这个道理，特别是当他们与你的想法相悖时。如果你不能做自己想做的工作，或一段感情进行的不顺利，这仅仅只说明更好的正在不远处等待着。你得到的教训是跨出接近它的第一步。

30. Regardless of how filthy your past has been, your future is still spotless. Don't start your day with the broken pieces of yesterday. Every day is a fresh start. Each day is a new beginning. Every morning we wake up is the first day of the rest of our life.

30、不管你的过去有多糟糕，你的前途仍然是无可挑剔的。开始新的一天时，不要带着昨天的遗憾。每一天都是全新的开始。每个我们醒来的早晨是我们余生的第一天。
