1 .
在你出生之前，你的父母并非像他们现在这样乏味。他们变成今天这个样子是因为这些年来他们一直在为你付账单，给你洗衣服，听你大谈你是如何的酷。所以，如果你想消灭你父母那一辈中的"寄生虫"来拯救雨林的话，还是先去清除你房间衣柜里的虫子吧。
2 . 没有追求和付出，哪来的成功，谁说辉煌背后没有痛苦，只要为了梦想不服输，再苦也不停止脚步。
3 . Television is NOT real life。 In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs。
4 . Your school may have done away with winners and losers， but life has not。 In some schools they have abolished failing grades； they"ll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer。 This doesn"t bear the slightest resemblance to anything in real life。
5 . 只有满怀自信的人，才能在任何地方都怀有自信沉浸在生活中，并实现自己的意志。
6 . Life is not divided into semesters。 You don"t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself。 Do that on your own time。
7 . Before you were born， your parents weren"t as boring as they are now。 They got that way from paying your bills， cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are。 So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents" generation， try "delousing" the closet in your own room。
8 . 痛苦是性格的催化剂，它使强者更强，弱者更弱，仁者更仁，暴者更暴，智者更智，愚者更愚。
9 . If you think your teacher is tough， wait till you get a boss。 He doesn"t have tenure。
10 . 人生最可贵的品格是本分自然地生活，踏踏实实地做事儿，兢兢业业地工作，诚诚实实地交友，心底坦荡地为人。
11 . 在生命的不适当时机，受到超过承受能力的打击，猫可以怕鼠，英雄也可能变成懦夫。
12 . Life is not fair， get used to it。
13 . You will not make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school。 You won"t be a vice president with a car phone， until you earn both。
14 . Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity。 Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping； they called it opportunity。
15 . 人的一生：选对伴侣幸福一生；选对老师智慧一生；选对环境快乐一生；选对行业成就一生。
16 . 你驾驶着幸福列车从我面前经过，如果没有只能容得下我一个人的空间，那么，请别说是为了我而路过。
17 . If you mess up， it"s not your parents" fault， so don"t whine about our mistakes， learn from them。
18 . 每天多一点点的努力，不为别的，只为了日后能够多一些选择，选择云卷云舒的小日子，选择自己喜欢的人。
19 . The world won"t care about your self-esteem。 The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself。
20 . 快乐和痛苦都是人生的财富，与其消极的逃避，不如勇敢一些面对，其实能够回忆也是一种幸福。
