今天在知乎看到一个回答，很有感触，遂记录拷贝在此：

不要在年龄方面焦虑，复制一段话给你看

也有人迟到50岁才当上CEO，

While another became a CEO at 50,

然后活到90岁。

世上每个人本来就有自己的发展时区。

Absolutely everyone in this world works based on their Time Zone.

身边有些人看似走在你前面，

People around you might seem to go ahead of you,

也有人看似走在你后面。

some might seem to be behind you.

但其实每个人在自己的时区有自己的步程。

But everyone is running their own RACE, in their own TIME.

不用嫉妒或嘲笑他们。

Don’t envy them or mock them.

他们都在自己的时区里，你也是！

They are in their TIME ZONE, and you are in yours!

生命就是等待正确的行动时机。

Life is about waiting for the right moment to act.

所以，放轻松。

So, RELAX.

你没有落后。

You’re not LATE.

你没有领先。

You’re not EARLY.

在你自己的时区里，一切安排都准时。

You are very much ON TIME, and in your TIME ZONE.
