Therefore, it is crucial that we realize what we want, how to get it, and how not to look back on our lives with regrets. Many times we'll dwell on the past and the things we didn't do, but it's time to put that past behind us and look to the future; forget the road not taken and focus on the ones we want by finding great oppoutunities.
     对未来作出正确的决定可能是我们一生中最重要的事情了。因此，我们意识到我们需要什么，怎样才能得到它，在回首时不留遗憾就显得尤为重要了。很多时候，我们会的过去耿耿于怀，后悔自己有什么事情当时没能去做。可是现在，是我们把过去抛在脑后，向前看的时候了。忘掉未走的路，寻找机会，把注意力放在我们需要的东西上。

     Important decisions are always difficult to make bacause we wonder when will happen if we pick the wrong one. We almost always find ourselves thinking about what would have happened if we picked the other choice, if we would have been happier, or if we would still be the person we know ourselves to be today. The solution that I hae found will wofk for everyone because the key is to prepare and experience the world before you to decide which path you want to take in your future.
     重要的决定都很难做，因为我们担心一旦选错了会有怎样的后果。我们发现自己几乎总在思考如果我们做了另外一个选择又会怎样，我们会不会更加幸福，或者我们是否还是现在认识的那个自己。我所找到的解决办法适合于每一个人，答案就是先去准备，体验你眼前的世界，然后决定未来该走的路。

                                                         When it comes to choices that can affect the rest of your life such as picking a college major or a future career, the only way to find out what you really will be happy with is to try everyting out before you have to make that decision. As a high school and college student, you have the opportune time to experience the world around you.
     说到会影响你未来生活的选择，比如大学里的专业或未来的职业，唯一能够让你真正满意的方法就是在决定之前，先尝试所有的一切。作为中学生和大学生，你有适宜的时间去经历你周围的世界。

     In high school, the number of opportunities you have are absolutely amazing. However, these opportunites mean nothing unless you get involved! Join various clubs and dedicate yourself to them, because without dedication you won't be experiencing andy of them to the fullest. Apply for part-time jobs during breaks that you won't be going anywhere in order to experience what the working world is like. Invole yourself in the classes you like and ask yourself what it is about them you like so much and how it relates to you as a person. Learn more than you can possibly imagine!
     在中学里，你拥有无数的机会。不过，如果你不参与，这些机会就等于零。你可以参加各种各样的俱乐部并置身其中，因为如果你不卖力，你就不会有深切的体会。假期时你可以参加兼职工作，这样你就不用去其他地方了解世界了。积极参加你喜欢的课程并问问自己什么让你着迷，它和你这个人有什么关系。尽量多学习——比你能想象到的还要多。

     In college, the key to finding out what you want to do if you're not quite sure yet are the same steps you took in high school with one important addition internships. Internships are the most valuable paid experience you will ever have in college. They provide you with a closer look at what you want to do yet, they will give you an idea of what you would be doing in that specific career field. They bring you closer to the people you will most likely be working with and the environment that will surround you. And when you decide you've found the career of your choice, then the internship will provide you with connections you need to geto into your desired field.
     在大学里，如果你还不确定自己想做的事，找到它的关键和中学时的步骤一样，只是再加上一条：实习。实习是大学里最有价值的有偿劳动经历。它给你提供了一个你所学的专业和未来职业亲密接触的机会。如果你还不十分明确想做什么，它会给你一些关于这个特定职业的具体工作的信息。它为你提供了了解将来的工作同事及环境的机会。当你确定已经找到自己想从事的职业，实习会为你搭建一个进入职场所需的平台。

      Without involving yourself in the world around you, you can't possibly expect to make the right decision concerning your future. By taking advantage of the many various opportunities you have, you will be able to enter your desired field without any regrets. Once you've found your niche in the world, you won't need to focus on the road not taken, but the one you decided to travel.
      如果你没有了解周围的世界，你不可能对未来作出正确的选择。充分利用你拥有的机会，你就会不留遗憾地进入你理想的领域。一旦找到了称心的工作，你就不会盯着那条没有走的路，而是着眼于你自己选择的康庄大道。
