我衷心感謝所有的意見。你或許應該瞭解，我今年23歲，是一名物理系的學生。我渴望在自己的專業上，以及生活的各個方面，不斷進步。

This question originally appeared on Quora. From my personal experience my answer would be:
這個問題最初在Quora上出現，對這個問題我的回答是：

1. Eat healthy and take good care of yourself.
飲食健康，照顧好自己。

2. Use minimum amounts of cosmetic products on your face and body, all of them (in larger or smaller amounts) are filled with harsh chemicals which travel from your skin straight to your blood stream causing many problems (which you can't always see or feel right away).
儘量不在你的臉上或身體上塗抹化妝品，所有的化妝品（量多或量少）都充滿了有害的化學物質，從你的皮膚直入你的血液流，從而導致許多問題（你很難馬上看見或者感覺到）。

3. Exercise. Be physically active by doing something you enjoy, that way you will be experiencing double benefit.
鍛鍊。積極鍛鍊身體，做你喜歡做的事情，這樣你就可以收穫雙重好處。

4. Respect your family and your friends. Don't let them down, and never do something that someone else would do, do what you feel it's right thing to do. Be more emphatic, you are not the only person in the world with the feelings.
尊重你的家人和朋友，不要讓他們失望。但是，不要因爲別人會去做一件事就那麼做，做你認爲是對的事情，讓自己更堅定一些，因爲世界上不止你一個人有那樣的感受。

5. Read quality stuff! Reading brings to mind wisdom, the exchange of ideas, and quiet contemplation. Reading makes you richer and smarter.
閱讀有質量的東西！閱讀給思想注入智慧、讓思想交流以及讓你安靜地沉思。閱讀讓你更充實、更聰穎。

6. Start learning new skills. Learning new language is always an advantage. Also, you can do a little research on skills that will become essential in the future, but that are also appreciated in your profession. For example, you can learn using ICT effectively, including specialist software packages and some programming. You could also start researching about applications of your knowledge in other fields; it might give you some interesting idea.
開始學習一種新技能。掌握一門外語總是一種優勢。而且，你可以稍稍研究下未來可能會變得很重要、在你的專業範圍內也會被賞識的技能。比如說，你可以學習有效地使用信息和通信技術，包括專業軟件包和一些編程。你也可以開始研究你的知識在其他領域的應用，這可能會給你帶來一些有趣的靈感。

7. study hard and you will go far. Talent alone is not enough! It is known that people with less talent work harder, and lots of talented people think that their talent will do all the job. Well guess what, it won't, because not working on your talent and not perfecting it is not respecting it (by receiving a talent you also receive responsibility). Hard workers are the successful ones, and if they are also talented they are destined to do great things.
努力學習，你會走得更遠。單有才華也是不夠的。衆所周知，比較沒天賦的人工作得更努力，很多有才的人認爲他們的才華可以勝任所有的工作。你猜怎麼着？答案是不可以，因爲不利用不完善就是不尊重自己的才華（有才華也意味着有責任）。努力工作的人是成功的人，如果他們剛好也是有才華的人，他們勢必能做偉大的事情。

8. Don't be too harsh on yourself or too self-critical, if you really feel you can't do something at this moment - take a break, make yourself comfortable, even spoil yourself a little.
不要對自己太苛刻或者太過自我批判了，如果你真覺得自己現在沒辦法做成某事——休息一下，讓你自己覺得舒服，甚至可以稍微放縱一下自己。

9. Try to see the world as much as your financial situation allows you. Try to save some money for traveling (one of the best ways to spend it).
在經濟狀況允許的條件下，儘量多看看這個世界。努力爲旅行省一些錢（這是最好的花錢方式之一）。

10. There are a million different points of view on only one single thought or idea. Don't hold mindlessly to only one aspect, at least don't do that if you haven't understood all of the other ones. If you do not agree with someone else's actions/opinions at least try to understand them. Understanding someone does not mean you agree with him, but it does makes your view much much wider. And important thing you should have in mind is that everything in the world is changeable.
對於一個思想或者想法，人們可以有一百萬個不同的觀點。不要沒有頭腦地固執於一個方面，至少在瞭解其他的方面前，不要急於採取行動。如果你不同意別人的某些行爲或者意見，至少嘗試去了解它們。理解某人不意味着你和他意見一致，這會讓你的觀點更加開闊。你應該記住一件重要的事情，那就是世界上所有事物都是可以改變的。
