Some of the best benefits of growing up which aren’t often spoken of:

不经常被人们提起的长大最大的好处:

Not feeling locked into the immutable social categories set for you by your peers (ie., notfeeling defined by others);

不再感觉被禁锢在身边人为你设定的一成不变的社交范畴了(也就是说,不再感觉被别人定义了);

The development of significantly better self-esteem, which might previously have beentrounced on a daily basis by toxic parents or other children and bullies you had no choice being around;

更好地培养自尊,以前自尊可能每天会被你身边无法选择的糟糕的父母或其他孩子和爱欺负别人的人所践踏;

The ability to choose the people you want to hang out with or avoid;

有能力选择想要交往或躲开的人;




Finding a way to recognize and accept your own skills and weaknesses, and knowing how tocompensate or learn from the latter;

找到一种方法认清并接受自己的技能和弱点,知道如何规避弱点或从弱点中学习;

The ability to have significant personal insight about what love-interests, jobs, and studies arebest suited for your particular personality type and psychological needs;

有重要的自我洞察能力,知道什么深爱的兴趣、工作和学习最适合自己独特的个性和心理需求;

Learning the real meaning of joy, happiness and achievement in your own life, and how tobetter slough off pain, failure and disappointments.

学会了自己生命中快乐、幸福和成就的真正含义,以及如何摆脱痛苦、失败和失望。




When we were kids, we all wanted to grow up in order not to ask for pocket money fromparents! And when we grow up, we are always bewildered about what to do now!

当我们还是孩子时,我们都想长大,就不用再跟父母要零花钱了!长大了我们又总是困惑现在该做点什么!

Such are humans. But wait, being adult is not as bad as it seems.

这就是人。但等一下,做个成年人也没有看起来那么糟。

We earn, even if it is meagre but a sense of independence is so cool

我们赚钱了,虽然赚的少但独立的感觉真棒

We can get married, even if no one really wants to. B

ut you stand a chance, if you are willing,of course

We can drink alcohol. It is not the best thing I tasted but atleast was eligible to try

我们可以喝酒。虽然酒不是我喝过的最好的东西,但至少有资格喝了

We can vote, even if I might never be benefitted direct but that blue ink gives a sense ofresponsibility

We can take our parents out, even if the destination is the nearest and most affordable onebut they deserve it

We can be parents, legally, as 18 (21 for men) and above is deemed to be responsible

法律上讲我们可以做父母了,18岁(男性21岁)及以上被认为可以负责任了

But we still can’t overrule what our fathers declare. We still can't turn the phone off when outwith our buddies. We still can't say No to our parents when they drag us to weddings. We stillcan't eat pizza and burgers everyday!

但爸爸说的话我们仍然不能反驳,和朋友出去仍然不能关机,被父母逼婚时仍然不能说“不”,披萨和汉堡仍然不能每天都吃!
