今日清晨听了这篇演讲,我想明白了三件事情,也就是这篇演讲的中心内容,po出来和大家分享。
main idea:
First,I told Emma forget about having identity crisis and get some identity capital.By get identity capital,I mean do something that add your value to who you are.
(学习知识来增加自己的资本,而不是整天自怨自艾什么都不做)
Second, I told Emma that urban tribe is overrated.New things come from what are called our weak ties,our friends of friends of friends.
(不要高估你的朋友圈,新事物来自我们所谓的弱关系,朋友的朋友)
Last but not least,I told Emma the time to start picking your family is now.Picking your family is about consciously choosing who and what you want,rather than just making it work or killing time with whoever happen to be choosing you.
(选择你的家庭是有意识地去选择你想要的人和事,而不是为了应付或者消磨时光,才和一个正好选择你的人在一起。)
To sum up,Thrity is not the new 20,so claim your adulthood,get some identity capital,use your weak ties,pick your family.

句子
Work happened later,marriage happened later,Kid happened later,even death happened later.
Twentysomethings like Alex and I had noting but time.
That made Alex's 20s development sweet spot,and we were sitting there blowing it.
It's time your ordinary,day-to-day life has inordinate impact on who you will become.
Dating in my 20s was like musical chairs.Everybody was running around and having fun,but then sometime around 30 it was like the music turned off and everybody started sitting down.I didn't want to be the only one left standing up,so sometimes I think I married my husband because he was cloest chair to me at 30.
Half of new jobs are never posted, so reaching out to your neighbor's boss is how you get that un-posted job. It's not cheating. It's the science of how information spreads.
我希望我每一天的生活都有意义。
