二十岁的我们

站在人生的十字路口

有些年少气盛，也有些举手无措

家庭、工作、友情、爱情

似乎总有一堆做不完的选择题

我们就像深海里的鱼

漫无目的地游着

身上却散发着光芒

（时长：14'45''）

By get identity capital, it mean do something that adds value to who you are. Do something that's an investment in who you might want to be next.

身份资本是指做增加自我价值的事。为自己下一步想成为的样子做一些事一些投资。

We didn't know the future of your career, and no one knows the future of work, but we do know this: Identity capital begets identity capital.

没人知道你的之前的工作是什么样的，也没人知道你将来的工作是什么样的，但是我们知道：身份资本会创造出更多身份资本。

So now is the time for that cross-country job, that internship, that startup you want to try.

现在是时候去尝试你想要的海外工作、实习或者新起点。

Twentysomethings who huddle together with like-minded peers limit who they know, what they know, how they think, how they speak, and where they work. That new piece of capital, that new person to date almost always comes from outside the inner circle.

20岁的人如果只和想法相同的同龄人交往，那么他们的交际圈、知识面、思维方式、说话方式和工作层面都将被限制。新的资本、新的恋爱对象往往都是来自圈子外的。

New things come from what are called our weak ties, our friends of friends of friends. So yes, half of twentysomethings are un- or under-employed. But half aren't, and weak ties are how you get yourself into that group.

新事情来自我们所谓的“弱链接”，我们朋友的朋友的朋友。没错，有一半20多岁的人正处在失业和半失业的状态。但是另一半的人却不是这样的，“弱链接”正是你融入一个新群体的纽带。

Half of new jobs are never posted, so reaching out to your neighbor's boss is how you get that un-posted job. It's not cheating. It's the science of how information spreads.

有一半的新工作是没有招聘信息的，所以去问你邻居的老板，是你得到那个没有招聘信息的工作的方法。这不叫作弊，这是信息传播的科学方式。

The best time to work on your marriage is before you have one, and that means being as intentional with love as you are with work. Picking your family is about consciously choosing who and what you want rather than just making it work or killing time with whoever happens to be choosing you.

经营你婚姻的最佳时间是你还没结婚的时候，这意味着选择爱情要像选择工作一样的积极。选择你的家人就是要有意识地去选择你想要和谁过什么样的生活，而不是为了结婚或者消磨时光，任意选择一个正好选择你的人。
