比尔·盖茨给你的11条成功忠告(图)(3)

　　5. Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.

　　烙牛肉饼并不有损你的尊严。你的祖父母对烙牛肉饼可有不同的定义；他们称它为机遇。

　　6. If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about our mistakes, learn from them.

　　如果你陷入困境，那不是你父母的过错，所以不要尖声抱怨错误，而要从中吸取教训。

　　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.

　　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，听你大谈你是如何得酷。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，还是先去清除自己房间衣柜里的虫子吧。
