今天是一篇翻译加絮叨，关于浪费生命。
我们来反省自己！浪费生命，5大迹象（以下并非逐字翻译）：
1. You Don’t Get Out of Bed Quickly Upon Waking
If you spend a half hour to an hour poking around on your phone before getting out of bed, you are not making the most of your life. People who have a driving purpose in their life don’t spend time lounging around on their phone in bed. Waking up is no big deal, just the start of another random day.
To someone with a purpose, waking up every morning is a refreshing welcome to another day of hard yet meaningful work.
一. 醒了之后，不马上起床。
如果你醒了之后，还赖在床上看手机长达几十分钟，那么你就是在浪费生命！
我倒是不会醒了之后玩手机，但是确实需要好几个闹钟才能把我叫起来。年轻的时候如此，现在还是一样，浪费生命无疑了。
2. You Spend More Than an Hour or Two a Day on Aimless Activities
Some activities are inherently aimless, done only because they are pleasing in the moment. Some activities like this are: spending time on social media, watching TV or movies, and playing video games. In small doses – no more than an hour or two a day – these kinds of activities can be an important part of decompressing. Any more than that, though, and you’re going beyond ‘decompressing’ into ‘wasting your life.’
People with a purpose don’t spend too long doing these sorts of things because they are aware that every hour sucked away by aimless activities is another hour they will never get back. It’s not that they try not to spend so much time doing these things – the thought of wasting that much time makes them sick. People with a purpose wouldn’t waste their time this way even if they could.
二. 每天花在无意义活动上的时间过多
有些事情只是当下的享乐，但实质上是没什么意义的，比如：刷社交媒体、看电视电影以及玩电子游戏。每天花个1-2小时做这些事情，可能是很重要的“解压”方式，一旦超过这个时间，你就是在浪费生命！每一个被浪费的小时都不会再回来。
我好像又中招了，因为我就是那种花很多时间看电影的人。
3. You Don’t Feel Ready for Bed at the End of Each Day
People whose days are filled with purposeful activities feel tired at the end of the day. Whether it’s mental work or physical work, purposeful activity uses up all your energy and leaves you ready to go to bed each day. When you aren’t making the most of your life, on the other hand, you aren’t tired at the end of the day. You are, quite literally, not making the most of your energy.
三. 每天到点还没有睡意。
努力生活的人白天需要全身心投入，因此每天到了睡觉的点就会很累很困。可是如果你是在浪费生命，到了点你就会没有睡意，因为你的能量还没耗完。
王石曾经说他每天是一挨枕头就睡着的，如果五分钟没睡着，那就算是失眠了。
4. You Spend More of Your Time Planning Than Doing
If you spend more of your time daydreaming, planning, or thinking about the future than you do working to bring about that future, you are not making the most of your life. People who make something of themselves don’t sit around daydreaming about what the future may be like. People who make something of themselves pick a goal for the future and then work hard to make that goal happen. Someone who spends all their time daydreaming is not someone who spends all their time doing.
Think about professional weightlifters. They spend a little bit of their time researching how to lift weights more effectively, and a lot of their time lifting weights.
四. 计划多、行动少
如果你总是在幻想，做着未来的计划，却没有现在的行动，那么就是在浪费生命！
能做计划其实蛮好的吧，能完成其中一项也好哇～
5. You Worry About What Others Think of You
High achievers are too busy getting things done to worry what others think of them. High achievers may worry about what people who matter think of them, but they don’t worry about what their friends, family, or pop culture thinks. They are too busy getting things done. If you routinely worry about what your friends, family, peers, or pop culture thinks of you, you may be letting your life slip by.
Instead of doing what others approve of, find a guiding purpose that you can be true to even when the world turns against you.
五. 在意别人对你的看法。
高成就者总是忙于实干，无暇顾及别人对他们的看法。他们也许在意一些重要的人的看法，但是并不担心家人、朋友和主流文化的看法。如果你有这方面的困扰，你就是在浪费生命！
