The scariest thing in life is getting old and dying with regrets still inside of us.

人生最恐怖的事就是当你变老，即将面临死亡时，心中仍有遗憾。

We all have heard stories about people, who wish they had done more with their lives.

我们都听过其他人说，希望自己将人生过得更充实。

And if they could go back into their 20s, they would do things completely differently.

如果能回到 20 几岁，他们会做截然不同的事。

Regrets is one of the worst emotions that any of us could ever experience.

后悔是每个人都可能体验到的最糟糕情绪之一。

And I don't want any of you to experience it so in this article I'm gonna go over the three life questions that you need to ask yourself.

而我不希望我的观众体验这种感觉，所以这部影片，我要提出人生中三个，你该问自己的人生课题。

If you want to avoid waking up at the age of 40th, full of regret, the first question you need to ask yourself is, what experiences do I want to have in my life?

如果你不想要四十多岁时，才对人生感到遗憾的话，第一个你该问自己的问题是，我一生中想要怎样的体验？

This is important because, there are two types of goals in life.

这很重要，因为生命中有两种目标。

There are Means Goals and End Goals.

分别是过程目标以及最终目标。

Examples of End goals can be, something like traveling around the world, learning a new skill or simply being happy with your life.

最终目标像是环游世界、学习新技能、或只是快乐过每一天这类事情。

People tend to chase End goals not realizing that these are actually Means goals.

人经常追求最终目标，而没发觉自己其实在追求过程目标。

Here are some more examples of Means goals;

以下是几个过程目标的例子。

I want to do well on my math test.

我想考好数学考试。

I want to graduate from college.

我想从大学毕业。

I want to get this particular job.

我想得到这份工作。

But if you ask these people, why do you want this?

但如果你问这些人，为什么想要？

There is always a 'so associated with the answer.

他们答案的句型都是「这样一来...就...」

I want to do well on my math test so I can graduate from college.

我想考好数学考试，这样一来，我就能从大学毕业。

I want to graduate from college so I can do this.

我想要从大学毕业，这样一来，我就能做这些事情。

Maybe you want a good job so you can travel around the world.

或是你想要得到一份好工作，这样一来你就可以环游世界。

You can be madly in love with someone, it could be when you hold your first born baby.

可以是疯狂爱上某人，也可以是抱着你的新生宝宝

The So's worth making life beautiful and their are the moments that you tell your friends and family about.

「这样一来... 就...」让人生变得美好，创造出那些值得和家人、朋友分享的时光。

There are the moments that you truly cherish at the end of your life.

有些时光是到生命尽头时你真正会珍惜的时光。

These are End goals and these are what you should be chasing.

这些是最终目标，最终目标才是你该追求的。

Once you ask yourself what experiences, do I want to have in my life, you will identify what your End goals are.

当你问自己：「我一生中想要怎样的体验？」你就会知道自己的最终目标是什么。

And you should actually write them down.

你需要把最终目标写下来。

Ask yourself what countries do I want to travel to?

问自己想去那些国家？

What kind of spouse do I want to have?

我想要怎样的另一半？

Once you ask yourself these questions, you will see they don't actually require that much money.

一旦问过自己这些问题后，你会发现要完成这些事，其实不需要那么多钱。

Which is funny because we usually, associate money with happiness.

这很有趣，因为人常常把钱跟快乐联想在一起。

Do this exercise and you will see exactly what I mean.

做这项测验，你就懂我的意思了。

The second question you need to ask yourself is; for to be this man or woman who has all these experiences, how do I have to grow in order to get them?

第二个你该问自己的问题是，要成为拥有这些经验的人，该做哪些事情？

This is where we start the second list.

此时，你要列出第二条清单。

Some examples questions are:

例如：

How can I become a better father?

怎么成为更好的爸爸？

What skills do I need to learn in order to travel around the world?

学哪些技能可以让我环游世界？

What social skills do I need to learn in order to meet someone I can truly fall in love with?

我该学习哪些社交技巧才可以遇到真正理想的爱人？

In my opinion, the reason why most of us associate learning with a negative or boring emotion is because of the traditional education system.

我认为，大部分人之所以会把学习和负面或是无聊的情绪联想在一起是因为传统教育体系

They exercise something called forced learning or they force concepts down on our throats.

传统教育为强迫学习强迫将知识灌入脑中。

Most of of which are useless in life.

而传统教育所学的大多知识在日常生活中，没有一点用处。

It's crazy to think that in today's society, it has become totally normal to dread learning.

想到现今社会，遍害怕学习是一件很正常的事就觉得很疯狂。

And when we actually come across something, we actually really are interested in, it almost feels strange to indulge in it.

而当我们遇到某些我们真正感兴趣的东西时，通常会觉得自己可以那么沉浸在其中，是一件很神奇的事

Because our brains are so accustomed to dislike learning.

因为我们的大脑已经很习惯厌恶学习了

So let's say you have learned all the skills you need and you are now the person you wanted to be.

假设你已经学完了所有你想学的技能，你现在成为了梦想中的自己。

The third question you must ask yourself is;

第三个你该问自己的问题是：

How can I give back to the world?

我要怎么回馈世界？

Once a samrter said, if you want to be happy, make other people happy.

有哲人说过，如果你想要快乐的话，先让其他人感到快乐。

Tony Robbins who is worth over half a billion dollars and one of the most famous self-help speakers, in the entire world also says giving back, is what will make you the happiest and this is what he does to this day.

托尼．罗宾斯身价超过数十亿美元，同时也是世界上最知名的自我激励讲师之一，也说过，回馈是让他感到最快乐的事，这也是他持续在做的事。

The third question is what truly leads to fulfillment.

第三个问题是，什么东西能让你真正感到充实？

Take your experiences and your growth and contribute to the people around you.

将你的经验与成长分享给身边的人。

If you have learned how to make a amazing wooden tables, mentor someone else who wants to learn how to make wooden tables.

如果你学到要怎么制作一张好木桌，那就教导别人如何做木桌。

If you have figured out how to create your own successful business, mentor someone else who wants the same results that you have already achieved.

如果你知道怎样建立成功的企业，那就教导别人如何才能达到你目前的成就。

Doing this takes you beyond happiness.

回馈让你超越快乐。

It takes you to your true fulfillment.

让你感受到真正的充实。

When you do this exercise of writing down these three questions, you will cut through all the useless B.S, and it will get you thinking in very unconventional ways.

当你做这个测验时并写下这个问题，你就可以摆脱所有没用的屁话，并让你用新颖的方法思考。

It takes your brain out of mainstream thinking and you will start seeing the world in a very different way.

这会让你的大脑跳脱主流思考，从此你会用不同角度看世界。
