The Top of My Todo List

April 2012 A palliative care nurse called Bronnie Ware made a list of the biggest <a href="http://bronnieware.com/regrets-of-the-dying/">regrets of the dying .

2012 年 4 月，一位名叫 Bronnie Ware 的姑息治疗护士列出了临终者最大的遗憾。

Her list seems plausible.

她的清单似乎是合理的。

I could see myself — can see myself — making at least 4 of these 5 mistakes.

我可以看到自己——可以看到自己——犯了这 5 个错误中的至少 4 个。

If you had to compress them into a single piece of advice, it might be: don't be a cog.

如果你必须将它们压缩成一条建议，它可能是：不要成为一个齿轮。

The 5 regrets paint a portrait of post-industrial

五个遗憾描绘了后工业化的肖像

man, who shrinks himself into a shape that fits his circumstances, then turns dutifully till he stops.

男人把自己缩小成适合环境的形状，然后尽职尽责地转身，直到停下来。

The alarming thing is, the mistakes that produce these regrets are all errors of omission.

令人担忧的是，造成这些遗憾的错误都是疏忽错误。

You forget your dreams, ignore your family, suppress your feelings, neglect your friends, and forget to be happy.

你忘记了你的梦想，忽视了你的家人，压抑了你的感情，忽视了你的朋友，忘记了快乐。

Errors of omission are a particularly dangerous type of mistake, because you make them by default.

遗漏错误是一种特别危险的错误，因为你默认会犯这些错误。

I would like to avoid making these mistakes.

我想避免犯这些错误。

But how do you avoid mistakes you make by default?

但如何避免默认情况下犯的错误呢？

Ideally you transform your life so it has other defaults.

理想情况下，你改变你的生活，让它有其他的默认设置。

But it may not be possible to do that completely.

但完全做到这一点可能是不可能的。

As long as these mistakes happen by default, you probably have to be reminded not to make them.

只要这些错误是默认发生的，就可能需要提醒您不要犯这些错误。

So I inverted the 5 regrets, yielding a list of 5 commands Don't ignore your dreams; don't work too much; say what you

所以我颠倒了 5 个遗憾，产生了 5 个命令的列表：不要忽视你的梦想；不要工作太多；说你什么

think; cultivate friendships; be happy.

认为；培养友谊；要开心。

which I then put at the top of the file I use as a todo list.

然后我将其放在用作待办事项列表的文件的顶部。
