Quora知识分享|二十出头,如何避免浪费时间?


I feel that I'm wasting my life. I’m a student in my early 20’s with few friends. How can I change this situation?
From:Barun Mohanty
I had almost no friends for a year and half. I used to think “I am just full of shit”.
我有一年半的时间几乎没有朋友 。 我曾经认为“我就是一坨屎” 。
I found out the things what I could not do during that time. I always asked myself a big “Why?”
在那段时间我发现了很多我做不到的事情 。 我总是问自己一个大大的“为什么?”
The “Why” was about “Am I wasting my time?”
“为什么”是关于“我是在浪费时间吗?”
“Are others living a happy life. Why can’t I?”
“别人都过着幸福的生活 。 为什么我不能?”
I had no choice to make. I never liked to go to a party and moving around doing nothing and hanging out with friends.
我别无选择 。 我从来都不喜欢参加聚会 , 什么事也不做 , 也不和朋友们一起闲逛 。
I spent that time in studying beyond my college syllabus. I learnt skills which nobody imagined at that point of time.
我把那段时间花在了超出大学教学大纲的学习上 。 我学到了当时没人能想到的技能 。
I just read, read and read.
我只是看书 , 看书 , 看书 。
I got a bit more intelligent than almost everyone. I knew things those other people of my age didn’t know at that point of time.
我变得比几乎所有人都聪明 。 我知道那些和我同龄的人在那个时候不知道的事情 。
That didn’t change my situation.
这并没有改变我的处境 。
Sometimes I thought “I must go to Himalayas and join the Buddhist community”. That was laughable.
有时我想“我必须去喜马拉雅山 , 加入佛教界” 。 这很可笑 。
Time flew.
时间飞逝 。
People got busy in their daily lives. All of their happiness were gone. Because student life was different. The real world hit everyone hard.
人们在日常生活中变得忙碌 。 他们所有的快乐都消失了 。 因为学生生活是不同的 。 现实世界给了每个人沉重的打击 。
But, time didn’t change for me.
但是 , 对我来说 , 时间并没有改变 。
My laptop was my only friend. And it was.
我的笔记本电脑是我唯一的朋友 。 确实 。
I had made a habit of “Gaining knowledge”. And I had found happiness in that. Whether it’s freelancing, investing or people’s skill. Most of the time I was doing that. Of course I got better with time.
我养成了“获取知识”的习惯 。 我从中找到了快乐 。 无论是自由职业 , 投资还是人们的技能 。 大部分时间我都是这么做的 。 当然 , 随着时间的推移 , 我变得更好了 。
And suddenly, people started communicating with me, people started traveling with me. I made some good friends. Life became beautiful and happiness was overloaded.
突然 , 人们开始和我交流 , 人们开始和我一起旅行 。 我交了一些好朋友 。 生活变得美好 , 幸福已经超载 。
But I never changed my habits.
但我从未改变过我的习惯 。
From here I want to convey TWO things:
从这里我想表达两件事:
1. If you don’t have any friends, that means the frequencies don’t match. You might be more mature. Or you might be doing something unique that beyond others imaginations. So, don’t worry ! As life progresses, you will find like minded people. You will make friends and be a part of the society.
