十七八岁的那股清风吹到了今天,你依然还是最好的年纪。
Be brave when you are young. Only in this way can you say when you are old that in this life, there are regrets but no remorse① .

I always believe that the current bad situation is just a brief② darkness before dawn. All the setbacks we experience are foreshadowing③ for the future. Flowers will bloom along the way, and we will finally reach the shore bathed in sunshine.
我始终相信,当下的糟糕也只是黎明前短暂的黑暗而已,所有经历的挫折都是未来的伏笔,花会沿路盛开,我们终将上岸,阳光万里。
A sea of people is for survival④, but crossing mountains and seas is real life. I want to see the unseen seas, climb the steepest mountains, and even pluck⑤ the moon from the sky.
人山人海是生存,翻山越海才是生活。我想看没看过的海,翻很陡峭的山,或者去摘天上的月亮。
Don't deny⑥ yourself because of anyone or anything. Life won't always be smooth; there will always be some bumps along the way. Don't be afraid to take small steps. Just keep moving forward.
不要因为任何人任何事而否定自己,生活不会一路平坦,总会出现一些坑坑洼洼,步子小点不怕,往前走就好。
When people reach a certain age, they must understand that it's time to turn their moods and tempers⑦ into silent mode, and then quietly take care of themselves and live each day of their lives to the fullest.
人到了一定的年纪,一定要懂得,把心情和脾气调成静音模式,然后不动声色地打理自己,过好人生每一天。
Live the life you love and don't worry too much about the voices from the outside world.
过自己喜欢的生活,无须过度在意外界的声音。
Every day, you can be happy, you can be sad, and there are many possibilities. Choose the way that makes you feel most comfortable. As long as you think it's worth it, all other doubts are irrelevant⑧.
每一天,可以开心,可以难过,可以有很多可能。选择最让自己觉得舒服的方式,只要自己觉得值,别人的质疑统统无关。
I want to live a wilder life, not to conquer⑨ the world, We have been stubbornly fighting against this world with empty hands until now. Save money to realize the dream of seeing the whole world.
