讓我們回顧壹下這些年來妳在生活中都經歷了什麽？妳都做了什麽？妳做到了充分有效利用時間讓妳的生活過得有價值有意義嗎？尼爾-吳在Quora網站上分享了壹些讓我們的生活在短時間內充滿意義的方法，對照壹下看看妳接下來需要做到的：
1. Make friends as opposed to networking
交朋友但不只是社交
Your friends will go a lot further than the professional contacts you make, especially since only one of the two groups is invested in your personal happiness.
多和妳的朋友溝通交流比妳聯系專業人士交流探討要強，尤其是專業人士和朋友圈子這兩組人群，只有妳的朋友圈子才是妳個人幸福的投資方向。
2. Become an expert by learning as much as you can and deeply seeking out the things you are curious about
盡量通過多學習的方式成為專家，並對自己所好奇的方面執著地探求
Find the things you enjoy and practice the skills you want to develop. If you can achieve expertise then it will be easy to obtain an audience.
找到妳喜歡做的事情並爭取達到熟能生巧的地步。如果妳能達到專業的高度，那麽就會很容易贏得觀眾。
3. Volunteer to help out those less fortunate
自願幫助那些不幸的人
In the process you will gain a ton of new perspective and will better understand other people’s real problems. In a society that always looks upward, these people are being forgotten easily.
在這個過程中妳會獲得多個新的視角，會更加理解別人所遇到的實際問題。在我們當今這個非常勢力的社會中，這個人群很容易被遺忘。
4. Become as independent as possible
盡量自立
Even though you work in a big company, you should constantly make small steps to reduce your dependence on your job. Write a book, build an app, or start a small business on the side. Release your inner entrepreneur.
即使妳在壹家大公司工作，妳也應該經常做出小小的改變，減少依賴工作的程度，讓自己不那麽依賴這份工作。寫本書、編個小程序或做個小生意。讓妳內心的企業家潛質充分釋放出來。
5. Don’t spend too much time worrying about your personal brand
不要在妳的個人品牌力上浪費太多時間
Accomplish things, and the recognition will follow.
把事情做好，大家心中都有壹桿秤。
6. Stop treating life as a competition and do things for their own sake
別把生活當成比賽，做事只是為了自身利益
Genuine interest should be what drives you to improve yourself, rather than a desire to beat others. Find a community of people who are interested in the same things as you do, and drive each other to keep improving.
妳是真心想著要完善自己才做的，並不是希望打敗別人。和感興趣的人壹起做，這樣會互相帶動、精益求精。
