When you graduate, taking your first steps out of College or University into the big, bad world is, how to put it...a little bit messed up.

畢業的時候，你踏出大學校門，邁出第一步，走進這個艱險的大世界，怎么說呢?有點點無所適從吧。

In the post-graduation transition, it’s easy to feel lost and confused.

畢業之后的過渡期，很容易迷失自我、感到迷惘。

So here’s how to remain confident and trust yourself, even in the middle of all the uncertainty and change that this brave new world brings.

這里教你如何保持自信、相信自己，哪怕你踟躕不前、要面臨這個日新月異的新世界。

1. Stop feeling like you should have all the answers

1、不要再覺得你應該無所不知

Uncertainty is the way things are, and trying to fight is like trying to fight an angry bear with a wet fish. It’ll just leave you exhausted, scared and broken. So relax a little. Understand that uncertainty is natural, and know that doing your best is plenty good enough as a response.

事情就是不確定的，企圖斗爭好比和一頭怒熊抗衡、爭奪鮮魚。你只會精疲力竭、擔驚受怕、身心俱碎。放松一點，明白世事無常乃常態。要知道，盡最大努力這種做法本身就是不錯的回應。

2. Prioritise play over success

2、兩相權衡，游戲比成功重要

Extrinsic success is easy, cheap even. So it’s through play—through engaging with the things that make you feel joy or connected and experience more success than fitting in with expectations will ever give you.

外在的成功來得容易、甚至可以說來得廉價。所以說，是通過游戲競爭、去參與你覺得開心和能帶動你的事情， 去體驗更多的成功，而不是去迎合外界帶給你的期冀。

3. Stop comparing

3、停止比較

Today, every time you compare yourself to someone else, you threaten to undermine your self and your efficacy, or inflate your ego. Comparison is irrelevant. The only thing that’s relevant is your ability to approach a decision.

如今，每次你與他人相較，你就有貶低自己、削弱自己效益的風險，甚至有自我膨脹的危險。比較無甚相關，唯一相關的是你做決策的能力。
