让我们回顾一下这些年来你在生活中都经历了什么？你都做了什么？你做到了充分有效利用时间让你的生活过得有价值有意义吗？尼尔-吴（Neal Wu）在Quora网站上分享了一些让我们的生活在短时间内充满意义的方法，对照一下看看你接下来需要做到的：

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.
多和你的朋友沟通交流比你联系专业人士交流探讨要强，尤其是专业人士和朋友圈子这两组人群，只有你的朋友圈子才是你个人幸福的投资方向。

2. Become an expert by learning as much as you can and deeply seeking out the things you are curious about
尽量通过多学习的方式成为专家，并对自己所好奇的方面执着地探求
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.
找到你喜欢做的事情并争取达到熟能生巧的地步。如果你能达到专业的高度，那么就会很容易赢得观众。

3. Volunteer to help out those less fortunate
自愿帮助那些不幸的人
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.
在这个过程中你会获得多个新的视角，会更加理解别人所遇到的实际问题。在我们当今这个非常势力的社会中，这个人群很容易被遗忘。

4. Become as independent as possible
尽量自立
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.
即使你在一家大公司工作，你也应该经常做出小小的改变，减少依赖工作的程度，让自己不那么依赖这份工作。写本书、编个小程序或做个小生意。让你内心的企业家潜质充分释放出来。

5. Don’t spend too much time worrying about your personal brand
不要在你的个人品牌力上浪费太多时间
Accomplish things, and the recognition will follow.
把事情做好，大家心中都有一杆秤。

6. Stop treating life as a competition and do things for their own sake
别把生活当成比赛，做事只是为了自身利益
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.
你是真心想着要完善自己才做的，并不是希望打败别人。和感兴趣的人一起做，这样会互相带动、精益求精。
