变好的从来不是生活，而是你自己

A person is just like a Russian matryoshka doll with different age versions nested inside. Each layer is a part of oneself.

—At the age of 48， there is still the 9-year-old you， the 14-year-old you， the 22-year-old you， and the 35-year-old you living inside your heart. Perhaps， you look like a 48-year-old in the eyes of others， but sometimes you view the world from the perspective of the 9-year-old you

人就像一个重叠着不同年龄的俄罗斯套娃，每一层都是自己的一部分。

——48岁的你，内心依然住着9岁的你、14岁的你、22岁的你，还有35岁的你。或许，在别人眼中，你是48岁的模样，但有时候，你会用9岁的视角去看这个世界

If you want to run， just go and run. You don’t need someone to accompany you specifically. As long as you keep running， one day， people who share your interests will find you.

—This principle not only applies to running but also to many things in life

你想跑步的话就去跑，不需要特地找人陪你。只要你一直跑下去，总有一天和你志趣相投的人会找到你。

——这个道理不仅适用于跑步，还适用于人生的许多事情

No matter what we are doing， we will suddenly pick up our phones and browse for a while.

—This is the state of our lives after we are controlled by our phones

不管正在做什么事，我们都会突然拿起手机浏览一阵子。

——被手机控制的我们的生活状态

First of all， I’m sleepy， and secondly， I’m not quite willing to go to sleep.

—There are two things that make people especially torn in bed at night

首先我想睡觉，其次我不舍得去睡觉。

——晚上躺在床上，有两件事让人特别纠结
