Giving in to fear.

 

屈服于恐惧

 

Fear is nothing more than a lingering emotion that's fueled by your imagination.Danger is real. It's the uncomfortable rush ofadrenaline you get when you almost step in front of a bus. Fear is a choice.Happy people know this better than anyone does, so they flip² fear on its head.They are addicted³ to the euphoric feeling they get from conquering their fears.

 

恐惧不过是想象力产生的一种挥之不去的情感。危险是真实的。当你差点被公交车撞到时，肾上腺素会飙升。恐惧则是一种选择。幸福的人比任何人都知道这一点，所以他们克服恐惧。他们沉迷于克服恐惧的愉快情绪中。

 

When all is said and done, you will lament⁴ thechances you didn't take far more than you will your failures. Don't be afraid to take risks. I often hear people say, “What's the worst thing that can happen to you？Will it kill you？”Yet, death isn't the worst thing that can happen to you. The worst thing that can happen to you is allowing yourself to die inside while you're still alive.

 

归根结底，你对没有把握机会的懊悔远远大于失败。别害怕冒险。我总听到人们说，“最坏的事情是什么？能杀了你吗？”然而，死亡并不是最坏的事。最坏的事是你依然活着，却让自己的内心死去了。
