這是一位父親在自己70歲生日來臨時，在孩子的博客里寫下的自己的經驗分享：我希望自己在你們這個年紀時了解的10件事(10 things I wish I knew when I was your age…)來聽聽這位父親寶貴的10堂人生經驗課!

1. Uncertainty is certain.

唯有變化才是不變的。

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.

對于不確定性，我們無能為力。世界上所有的事情都是不確定的。有著無數個可能性，這才讓世界上有了奇跡。生活就是不斷地處理這些問題，利用他們，即使你完全不知道接下來會發生些什么。

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.

世界上沒有人會不知道下一秒會發生什么，所以你每天都應該跟隨著自己的直覺和激情向前走。如果你傾注全力，好事真的可能會發生，但如你所愿真的很少見。

2. Life is a circle.

生命是一個循環。

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

你做的每一件事，說的每句話以及做的每一個決定都會反饋到你身上。

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，那就慷慨點。想交朋友，友好點。想被他人理解，就花點時間去了解別人。想要被傾聽，先學會去傾聽。

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，就要對周圍發生的一切充滿興趣。如果想真正學習和掌握一個技能，就盡可能地學習，并教給別人你所知道的。

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，那就平靜和諧地處事。如果想改變世界，先改變你自己。

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.

你付出多少就會回報多少。無論你想在生活中完成什么，就去付出，培養，堅持，最終你會發現人生充滿了回報。
