TED演讲｜12条最宝贵的人生经验，只有经历过的人才会懂

12 truths I learned from life and writing

我七岁大的孙子就睡在我隔壁的房间，他常常在清晨醒来，然后说，“你知道，今天也许会是最棒的一天。”

And other times, in the middle of the night, he calls out in a tremulous voice, "Nana, will you ever get sick and die?"

也有的时候，在午夜时分，他会怯生生的问我，“奶奶，你也会生病和死亡吗？“

I think this pretty much says it for me and most of the people。I know, that we're a mixed grill of happy anticipation and dread. So I sat down a few days before my 61st birthday, and I decided to compile a list of everything I know for sure.

我想，我和大多数我认识的人可能都是这样，我们同时拥有着乐观与恐惧的情绪。所以在我61岁生日的前几天，我坐下来，决定把我确信的一切都列出来。

There's so little truth in the popular culture, and it's good to be sure of a few things. For instance, I am no longer 47, although this is the age I feel, and the age I like to think of myself as being.

流行文化中的真理太少了，能看清一些事实是有益的。比方说，我已经不再是47岁了，虽然我依然觉得自己才47岁，我也希望自己一直是47岁。
