当你年轻的时候，至少花6个月到1年的时间，尽可能地过贫穷的生活，尽可能少地拥有东西，在一个小房间或帐篷里只吃豆子和米饭，以体验你 “最糟糕”的生活方式可能是什么。这样一来，当你将来要冒什么风险时，你就不会害怕最坏的情况了。
When you are young spend at least 6 months to one year living as poor as you can， owning as little as you possibly can， eating beans and rice in a tiny room or tent， to experience what your “worst” lifestyle might be. That way any time you have to risk something in the future you won’t be afraid of the worst case scenario.
