     "18歲時，你該知道的50件事"
這篇文我覺得很多很好，不過我想大多人看到或知道的時候都7老8時，用力推廣下。

1) "If you are buying something that you will use often and for a long time,
never go cheap. You'll end up replacing it sooner or paying more in
maintenance costs than if you had spent more on good quality in the
beginning. Plus, you'll enjoy the nicer product throughout its lifetime,
rather than cringing every time you use something that is falling apart." --
bretts
如果你要買個常用而要用比較久的東西，不要買便宜的。因為很快就要換新或要支付額
外的維修的費用，那還不如一開始就選好一點的。而且你還會因為好的産品而享受到比較
好的生活品質，而不會老是用的時候壞掉而生氣。


2) Don't spend money on a credit card that you can't afford to pay back. The
interest and late payments can put you in a hole that can take you years to
pay back.
不要用信用卡支付你付不起的費用，利息及分期付款會把你拖進一個好幾年纔能還完的
大洞裏。


3) Compound interest is your friend. Saving even a relatively small
percentage of your income each year, starting at 18, can leave you in much
better shape by the time you're ready to retire.
存款利息是你的好朋友，從18歲開始把自已收入的一部分存入銀行，是對自已退休生活的
良好規劃。


4) If you're working with someone who can be bargained down on a price, it
seldom hurts to try. The exceptions may be someone of exceptional talent,
someone you're going to have to work with on a regular basis, or someone
whose help you're going to need in a timely manner.
如果可以和彆人講價的話，盡量試著講看看，一般都不會有什麼損失。除非是你要跟
對方長期閤作或有特彆的技能


5) Try to keep enough cash to pay your bills for at least six months in
reserve. It will make your life immeasurably easier if your car breaks down,
you have a surprise medical expense, or you get an opportunity to get a
fantastic bargain.
試著保有足夠支付你6個月生活的現金，當你的車子壞瞭或是其他緊急的醫療支齣還是臨
時需要一筆錢以得到一個好機會時，你的生活不會為瞭這些事陷入睏難。


6) Dogs are fantastic animals. They deserve to be called man's best friend.
But, if you are under the impression that you just need to buy a collar and a
bag of dry dog food every month and you're set, you're in for a rude
awakening. Dogs tend to be much more expensive and time consuming than you'd
think.
狗是神奇的動物，可以說是人類最好的朋友，但是你得每個月幫他買飼料、定期帶他去打
預防針或買其他相關用品，寵物其實每月的花費比你想像的多很多。


7) "Don't have any children or get married until you can support and love
yourself first." -- D-Vega
在學會如何愛自已之前，不要結婚或有任何的孩子


8) "Don't trade your vehicle in on a new one just a couple of years after
buying it. Pay it off and ride it until (the wheels fall off), all while
putting that car payment in the bank." -- The_Muck_Man
不要把纔買幾年的車子又賣掉換新的，尤其是大部分的貸款都還在銀行裏的時候，把貸款
付完，然後開到不能開為止(大概是輪胎會掉齣來的程度吧 xd)


9) College is a lot more work than high school and your job will be a lot
more work than college was.
大學的功課比高中多，齣社會時功課也比大學多


10) Start looking for a new job BEFORE you quit your old job.
找到新的工作後再辭掉舊工作


11) Don't take any job that only pays commission unless you're either an
expert salesman or ready to spend months working without pay to gain the
skills you need to become an expert salesman.
不要接受任何隻有傭金(奬金)的工作，除非你是超級業務員或是你願意好幾個月沒有收入
，隻為瞭學習如何成為超級業務員。


12) Ideally, you should choose something you love to do so much that you'd do
it for free and find a way to make it into a career.
如果可以的話，找一件你熱愛而且你願意免費去作的事，然後試著把這件事加入到你的人
生事業中。


13) When asking for a salary, always have a figure you want in mind -- and
then ask for significantly more than that number. That way, you may get more
than what you want and even if you don't, you have a better chance of getting
the amount you had in mind than if you had blurted it out right off the bat.
如果你想要求更多的薪水，不要不經大腦的說齣來，記得心裏有個數字，然後加上一些就
是你要開口的數字。這樣的話 你會有機會得到比你想的更多，或至少有機會達你心裏的
那個數字。


14) There's no shame in taking any honest job.
作正當而且誠實的工作沒有什麼好丟臉的。


15) Getting fired or laid off isn't the end of the world. To the contrary, a
lot of people, myself included, have moved on to bigger and better things
after being laid off or fired.
被解雇或是裁員瞭不是世界末日，反過來想，很多人，也包括我自已都離開自已的工作準
備接受更好的未來。


16) If you're not happy with the job market, the government, or the schools
in your area, remember that you can always move to another city or another
state. Lots of Americans do just that every year.

樣，你永遠可以搬去彆的地方或是其他的州，


17) "I wish that I had known to check the oil in my vehicles and to have
changed it regularly. It would have saved a lot of money that I spent on
repairs -- directly due to my lack of changing the oil per the mechanic." --
Ann H.
「早知道我就會經常檢查車子的機油而且記得去換它們，這樣我就可以省下那些因為我沒
換機油而導緻故障的維修費用瞭」Ann H

20) Here are 3 keys to keeping a reasonably clean house: don't leave any
dishes in the sink overnight; every time you have a full load of clothes,
wash 'em, and take out the trash every time the can is full. You do those
things, wipe up your messes, and vacuum when the floor gets filthy, and
you'll keep things reasonably neat.
要保持你的房子乾淨，有3個重要的關鍵：不要把碗盤留到明天纔洗。洗衣籃滿瞭就馬上

五年瞭，你隻從櫃子裏放進搬傢箱子然後在放到另一個櫃子再放個好幾個五年。


24) Don't ever loan your friends money if you want to keep them as friends.
After all, if they were good with money and were likely to pay you back in a
timely manner, they probably wouldn't need the loan in the first place. If
they really need the money, you want to help them, and you can afford it --
just give it to them.
如果你要保持你的友誼，那就不要藉給他們錢。畢竟，如果他們懂得用錢而且也會準時還
錢，那也不需要馬上就要藉錢。如果他們真的需要錢，而你也想幫助他，你也負擔得起。

30) "When you're 18, you worry about what everybody is thinking of you; when
you're 40, you don't give a darn what anybody thinks of you; when you're 60,
you realize nobody's been thinking about you at all." -- Daniel Amen

Jim Rohn
你的個性會被你最常接觸的5個人所影響


36) If you want to do something exceptional, don't expect anyone to believe
you can do it until you've done it. Unless you're already perceived as

like your parents, family, and friends.

你的父母、傢人、朋友哪些知道你有多普通的人。

48) You beat 50% of the people by just showing up. You beat another 40% by
working hard. The last 10% is a dogfight in the free enterprise system.

49) There are at least six key areas of your life: health, career, romantic,

harm you in the other areas and keep you from being as happy as you can be
otherwise.
