A group of researchers in America have done a survey.

美國的一群研究人員做了一項調查。

They asked a lot of people what their greatest regret is.

他們詢問了很多人，問這些人最大的遺憾是什么。

And according to the statistics they got, 75% of the people said it’s that they didn’t work hard enough when they were young and as a result they had achieved nothing.

根據他們得到的數據，75%的人都說是年輕的時候不夠努力，以至于現在一事無成。

Nowadays it seems popular for young people to deliberately stay confused and do nothing seriously.

如今，年輕人似乎流行故意保持迷茫，做什么都不認真。

Of course, trying does not only belong to the young or children.

當然，努力不是專屬于年輕人和孩子的東西。

And it has nothing to do with time.

它與時間無關。

It’s not an obligation put on your shoulder by others. It is the desire for a better self that takes root deeply in your heart. It is a positive life-attitude.

它不是外界對你的逼迫，而是你自己內心對更進一步的渴望，是一種積極向上的生活態度。

The most horrible thing that can happen in your life is not being unsuccessful even though you tried, but that you give up and tell yourself it is precious to be just ordinary.

人生中最可怕的不是碌碌無為，而是你不努力還安慰自己平凡可貴。

That’s really sad.

這真的很悲哀。

Youth is the most precious thing you have. And it’s the most precious resource at your hand.

青春是你手上最珍貴的東西，也是你手上最珍貴的資源。

Stay busy when you are young. Fight as much as you can. Life is hard enough even if you try. Let alone if you don’t.

在年輕的時候，應該忙起來。你應該盡可能地去奮斗。生活對于那些努力的人來說已經很艱難了，更不用說那些不努力的。

Like what they say in Game of Thrones, winter is coming.

就像他們在《權力的游戲》里面說的：凜冬將至。

Winter is coming for everyone, all the time.

凜冬正在向所有人襲來，而且是無時不刻。

This winter’s name is Time.

這個凜冬的名字，叫時間。

Opportunities are for those who have prepared themselves.

機會是給那些又準備的人的。

Are you one of them?

你是其中之一嗎?
