Unfortunately, just before you take your first step on the righteous journey to pursue your dreams, people around you, even the ones who deeply care for you, will give you awful advice. It’s not because they have evil intentions. It’s because they don’t understand the big picture—what your dreams, passions, and life goals mean to you. They don’t understand that, to you, the reward is worth the risk.
不幸的是，有些时候正当你要迈出你追逐梦想的第一步的时候，你身边的人，甚至是一位十分在乎你的人也许会给你一些糟糕的意见。其实不是因为他们对你有恶意，是因为他们不了解你的宏图——你的梦想，激情，人生目标对你来说的意义。他们不了解，对你来说，最好的奖励就是值得冒险的经历。
So they try to protect you by shielding you from the possibility of failure, which, in effect, also shields you from the possibility of making your dreams a reality.
所以他们试图想要保护你而减少你失败的可能性，实际上，他们也在减少你使梦想成真的可能性。
As our friend Steve Jobs says:
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
就像我们的朋友Steve Jobs（苹果公司CEO）说的：
你的时间是有限的，不要浪费在别人身上，不要被教条主义束缚，也就是不要活在别人的思想下，不要让别人的意见影响你自己内心的声音，心灵，和直觉。他们怎么可能知道你本身在想什么，除了自己以外，其他的一切都是次要的。
Here are ten ill-advised tips (lies) people will likely tell you when you decide to pursue your dreams and the reasons why they are dreadfully mistaken:
这里有十条没脑筋的建议（谎话）和他们被误解的原因，这些都是当你决定要追逐你梦想的时候，人们最可能告诉你的。
1. You can follow your dreams someday, but right now you need to buckle down and be responsible.
你可以以后再去追逐你的梦想，但是现在你必须铆足劲并且负责任。
Someday? When is ”someday”? “Someday” is not a day at all. It’s a foggy generalization of a time that will likely never come. Today is the only day guaranteed to you. Today is the only day you can begin to make a difference in your life. And pursuing your dreams is what life is all about. So don’t be irresponsible. Don’t wait until “someday.” Make today the first day of the rest of your new life.
以后？以后是什么时候？“以后”根本就不是一天。它是一种笼统的时间概念，而且可能永远都不会出现。对你来说，今天才是你唯一需要保证的一天。今天是唯一一天能让你的生活开始不一样。并且追逐梦想就像你的生活一样，所以不要对你的生活不负责任。不要等“以后”的到来。让今天成为你以后新生活的第一天。
