这是一位父亲在自己70岁生日来临时，在孩子的博客里写下的自己的经验分享：我希望自己在你们这个年纪时了解的10件事(10 things I wish I knew when I was your age…)来听听这位父亲宝贵的10堂人生经验课!

1. Uncertainty is certain.

唯有变化才是不变的。

There is no antidote to uncertainty. Everything is always uncertain. There are infinite possibilities, which is what makes miracles possible. Life is about dealing with the question marks and making the best of them without any guarantees for what’s going to happen next.

对于不确定性，我们无能为力。世界上所有的事情都是不确定的。有着无数个可能性，这才让世界上有了奇迹。生活就是不断地处理这些问题，利用他们，即使你完全不知道接下来会发生些什么。

Nobody on Earth knows how things will turn out for you, which is why you have to press forward every day on the heels of your intuition and passion. If you give it your all, sometimes amazing things happen, but they’ll rarely be precisely what you had expected.

世界上没有人会不知道下一秒会发生什么，所以你每天都应该跟随着自己的直觉和激情向前走。如果你倾注全力，好事真的可能会发生，但如你所愿真的很少见。

2. Life is a circle.

生命是一个循环。

Everything you do, everything you say, every choice you make, comes back around.

你做的每一件事，说的每句话以及做的每一个决定都会反馈到你身上。

If you want to be rich, be generous. If you want to make friends, be friendly. If you want to be understood by others, take the time to truly understand them. If you want to be heard, listen.

如果想要富有，那就慷慨点。想交朋友，友好点。想被他人理解，就花点时间去了解别人。想要被倾听，先学会去倾听。

If you want to live an interesting life, be interested the happenings around you. If you wish to truly learn and master a skill, study what you can and then teach someone else what you know.

想生活得有滋有味，就要对周围发生的一切充满兴趣。如果想真正学习和掌握一个技能，就尽可能地学习，并教给别人你所知道的。

If you long for peace, act in peace and harmony. If you want the world to change, start with the one in the mirror.

如果追求和平，那就平静和谐地处事。如果想改变世界，先改变你自己。

What you give is eventually what you get. Whatever it is you hope to achieve in this life, give it, nurture it, be it, and you will enjoy a lifetime filled with it many times over.

你付出多少就会回报多少。无论你想在生活中完成什么，就去付出，培养，坚持，最终你会发现人生充满了回报。
