Steve Jobs said, “your time is limited so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.”

乔布斯说：生命有限，别将它浪费在重复他人的生活上。

So there’s good news and there’s bad news. That bad news is time flies, the good news is you’re the pilot.

所以这有好消息也有坏消息。坏消息是时光飞逝，好消息是你是领航者。

Imagine you wake up every day with $86400 in your bank account, and at the end of the night, it’s all gone whether you spend it or not. And then the next day you get another $86400.

想象一下你每天醒来银行账户中有86400美元，一天结束后不管你是否消费它们，它们都会消失，第二天你的账户又会拥有86400美元。

What would we do with it?

我们将会用它做什么呢？

Everyday 86400 seconds are deposited into your life account. At the end of the day, once they’re all used up, you get a new 86400 seconds.

每天86400秒都会存入你的生命账户，一天结束后，第二天你将拥有新的86400秒。

We would never waste it if it was money, so why do we waste it when it comes to time?

如果是钱我们绝不会浪费，那为什么我们要浪费时间呢？

Those seconds are so much more powerful than dollars because you can always make more dollars, you can’t always make more time.

时间比金钱的力量更大，因为你能赚更多的钱却赚不了更多的时间

To realize the value of 1 year, ask a student who failed a grade. To realize the value of 1 month, ask a mother who lost their child in the final month. To realize the value of 1 week, ask the editor of an online magazine. To realize the value of 1 hour, ask the couple who is in a long-distance relationship. To realize the value of 1 minute, ask the person who just missed a bus, train or plane. To realize the value of 1 second, ask the person who just missed an accident. To realize the value of a millisecond, ask the person who just came 2nd at the Olympics.

想知道一年的价值，去问问考试失败的学生。想知道一个月的价值，去问问在分娩前一个月失去孩子的母亲。想知道一周的价值，去问问在线杂志的编辑们。想知道一小时的价值，去问问异地恋的情侣们。想知道一分钟的价值，去问问刚刚错过巴士、火车或飞机的人想知道一秒钟的价值，去问问刚刚幸免遇难的人。想知道一毫秒的价值，去问问与奥运冠军失之交臂的运动员

We think that’s people wasting our time but it’s really us giving them the permission to do that.

我们认为是别人在浪费我们的时间，其实是我们准许他们这样做。

And in reality, these 2 people live inside us. Don’t let someone be a priority when all you are to them is an option. Some of us lose the people most important to us because we don’t value their time. Some of us don’t recognize how important someone is to us until they’re gone.

现实是，我们体内有两个人。当你对别人而言只是选项时，别将他们排在前面。我们失去了很多重要的人，因为我们没有珍惜他们。有时直到失去了才懂得他们有多重要。
