但是，20岁跟你其他的生命阶段一样，在你还没意识到前就与你擦肩而过，然后消失。不要等到他们消失了，才去后悔。学习一下这些人在他们20岁时常犯的错误吧。

1.Staying in an unhealthy relationship

1、处在不良的关系中

Your 20s will play an important role in shaping who you are.It is the stage that you get to know better what you want for yourself and from a partner.If the relationship is not making both of you into a better person,then maybe you should take a step back and ask yourself if it's still worth it.

20岁，对于你来说发挥着重要的作用。这一阶段，你会从你的同伴中更好的知道自己想要什么。如果在这一关系中你们都没有变得更好，可能你就要停下来问一下你自己了，是否值得继续与他同行。

Some people in their 20s make the common mistake of staying in an unhealthy relationship just because they've been with the person for so long.Keep in mind that it's not the length of a relationship that counts most but the quality of your relationship.

很多人之所以在他们20岁的时候常犯错误，就是因为他们处在不良的关系中，并且与他们待得时间太久了。请记住，一段关系最有价值的不在于它的长度，而在于它的质量。

2.Spending money carelessly

2、花钱如流水

Buying whatever you want and eating out almost everyday may make you feel good at the moment but it will make you poor in the long run.Even if you have a salary that's more than enough for your living expenses,you still won't be able to make progress in your financial goals if you constantly¹ spend more than what you earn.

想买什么就买什么，几乎每天都在外面就餐，可能当时感觉良好，但是长远来看，你就变穷了。即使你的工资足够用，但是如果花的总是比赚的多，你仍然不会有钱。

Remember that your financial choices today will make an impact² on your future so choose where to spend your money on.Make sure that you spend them on things that will move you forward towards your financial goals.

请记得，你今天的选择将会对你将来选择在什么地方消费产生影响。确保你的消费能够让你进步，并且是朝着你的目标去的。

3.Sticking to a dead-end job

3、做着无出路的工作

With piles of student debt,you find it insane³ just to consider quitting your job.But have you also thought of the time and energy you're wasting on a job that doesn't suit your skills,strengths,and interests?If you haven't figured out yet what your dream job is,then use this stage to find out what it is.

由于有很多的学生贷款要还，你会发现辞去工作是疯狂的。但是你想过没有，你把时间和精力都浪费在这个工作上，而这份工作是否适合你的技能、长处和兴趣呢？如果你还没有想过你的理想工作是什么，那么就利用你现在的工作去找一下吧。

Start creating a list of career ideas that you think will suit your strengths and interests then get your feet wet.Ask people who are in these industries about the job and what needs to be done to take you there.These steps may not instantly⁴ take you to your dream job but it helps build the bridge to get you there.

首先，建一个表格，列举你想到的适合你长处和兴趣的职业想法，然后付诸实践。向这些行业的人士询问一下需要怎么做。这些步骤可能不能立即把你带到你理想的工作中去，但是却为你铺了路。

4.Giving up dreams for fear of failure

4、因为害怕失败而放弃梦想

Fear is a powerful⁵ emotion.You feel it especially if you're chasing⁶ something that's bigger than yourself.But don't let it stop you.Whether you dream of traveling the world or starting your own business,don't let the fear of failure keep you from taking action.

害怕是一种很强大的情绪。特别是当你追求某种东西，而这种东西比你本身都大的时候，你能感觉到害怕。但是不要让害怕阻止你向前。无论你是想周游世界，还是要自己创业。都不要因为害怕失败而阻止你的行动。

There will always be mistakes and failure will be inevitable⁷ but giving it a try won't do you harm.The most successful people have too felt the fear but what sets them apart from the rest is that they took action anyway.

常常出错和失败将无可避免，但是作出尝试不会伤害到你。大多数的成功人士也会感觉到害怕，但是他们与其他的区别在于，他们会采取行动。

5.Giving in to naysayers

5、屈服于反对者

In your journey towards your dreams,there will be people who will doubt your capacity⁸ and question your dream.Don't give in to their negativity and don't argue with them.Just let them say what they have to say and do your own thing.

在朝着梦想的旅途中，有些人将会怀疑你的能力，质疑你的理想。不要向他们的消极思想屈服，也不要与他们争辩。就让他们尽情的说去吧，做好自己的事情就好。

Sometimes you need these kind of people to help you evaluate⁹ how badly you want your dream to happen.If you really want it that bad,then you will still pursue¹⁰ it even if no one believes you .

有时候，你需要这样的人帮你去评价你那么想要的梦想。如果你真的那么想要，即使没有人相信你，也仍然要去追求它。你不会有重新来过的机会了。

You won't get into this life stage again.Make the most of it and make sure that it's always worth looking back at.

要充分利用它，并且保证当你回想起来的时候，它一直都是值得的。
