Hey everyone, welcome back to Yapping with Michael. Today I'm going to be talking about the subject of the type of person I want to be in the future.

大家好，欢迎回到“Michael聊聊”。今天我想谈谈我未来想成为什么样的人。

Now, for this subject, I just want to make it clear I'm not talking about what I want to do in the future job-wise. The reason for that, I'm just going to say right now, is that I haven't thought about it too much at this point in my life yet.

关于这个话题，我想先说明，我不是在谈论我未来想从事的具体工作。原因是，目前在我人生的这个阶段，我还没有太多考虑这个问题。

Now, I've been considering pursuing a career in maybe acting, mostly because I feel like it would be fun and enjoyable, but also because I've put on school plays when I was younger. I've been involved and I've pretty enjoyed the experience of performing and giving the performance to a big audience. Albeit it's just students and parents, it was a pretty good experience. So, I'm considering that right now.

我有考虑过向表演方面发展，主要是因为我觉得这会很有趣，很享受。再加上，我小时候参加过学校的戏剧表演，参与其中让我非常享受在众人面前表演的过程，尽管观众只是学生和家长，那也是一次非常好的体验。所以，我现在在考虑这个方向的可能性。

But mainly, like I said, I'm going to be talking about the type of person I want to be like in the future and what I feel like would be a good goal to go for in the future for most people anyways.

但主要来说，正如我所说的，我要谈的是我未来想成为的那种人，以及我认为大多数人未来可以追求的一个好的目标。

So, starting with the type of person I want to be like. Well, personality-wise, I want to be the type of person that everyone finds kind, supportive, and interesting to be around, not someone whose personality is really weird, no one really talks to him, he always stays in his room and plays video games or does work or something like that. That wouldn't be something I would feel matches or resonates with me because I'm very social, as most of you probably know.

首先，谈谈我想成为的那种人。就性格而言，我想成为那种每个人都觉得善良、乐于助人和有趣的人，而不是那种性格很怪异，没有人和他说话，总是呆在房间里玩电子游戏或者做一些工作的人。倒也不是说那样不好，只是与我的性格不符，我是个喜欢社交的人，相信大家也发现了。

So, I would like to go around, know people around the neighborhood, maybe do stuff like that. So that's personality-wise. It also helps because if you know people, if you're in trouble, you can ask them for help. If they're in trouble, they ask you for help. It kind of creates a bond between neighbors; you guys are stronger, all that stuff—good friendship.

所以，我希望能够四处走走，认识周围的人，做些这样的事情。这是性格方面的。这也有帮助，因为如果你交友广泛，若是遇到麻烦，可以向他们寻求帮助。如果他们遇到麻烦，也会向你寻求帮助。这种关系会在彼此之间建立一种纽带，人多力量大，友情也更深厚。

As for wealth and fame, I don't necessarily need to be famous when I grow up. Wealth-wise, I mostly want to be able to just support myself and that would be enough.

至于财富和名声，我并不想在长大后变得出名。财富方面，我主要是想能够自给自足，这就足够了。

And also for job-wise, I would choose a job that honestly makes me happy with what I do. Because some people, well a lot of people, would choose a job that they absolutely hate but pays them a lot of money over a job that they love but doesn't pay them enough. I feel like I would choose the choice that makes me happy but doesn't pay as much. Because if you're happy at work, it doesn't really feel like work. It feels like you're just playing every day, doing what you really enjoy, doing what you really like to do. And on top of that, you're getting paid money, which is just the cherry on top.

至于工作，我会选择一份让我真正快乐的工作。因为（我了解到的）有些人，嗯，挺多人，会选择一份他们并不喜欢但收入很高的工作，而不是选择一份他们喜欢但收入不高的工作。我觉得我会选让我快乐但收入不高的选择。因为如果你在工作中感到快乐，它就不会真正感觉像工作。感觉就像你每天在玩，做你真正喜欢做的事情。而且你还能拿到报酬，这只是锦上添花。

So I think that's the mentality that I would have. I also think that's the mentality that most people can turn around to. I think that it would be a pretty good thought to have when choosing a career when you grow up.

所以我认为这是我的心态。我也认为这是大多数人可以转变的心态。我认为未来在选择职业时，这会是一个很好的思考方式。

Some of the main takeaways from this and a few more things that I didn't talk about:

从中得到的一些主要收获和一些我没有谈到的事情：

First of all, like I said, make sure you're happy. Everyone gets stressed in life sometimes, so maybe having a job that's enjoyable for you can relieve some of that stress.

首先，正如我所说，确保你感到快乐。每个人在生活中有时都会感到压力，所以也许有一份让你享受的工作可以缓解一些压力。

More importantly, though, and this is something that's like more of a goal for me as well, you should try—or at least I think I would try—to give back to the community to the best of my ability when I grow up. After all, they've brought us up, they've watched us grow up all these years. I feel like when we grow up, it will be our turn to try and do something to make the community a better place. It's just the thought of giving back to everyone and to the community as a whole who helped you become who you are in the future.

但更重要的是，这是我的一个目标，我认为你应该尝试，或者至少我会尝试，在长大后尽力回馈社区。毕竟，他们培养了我们，看着我们长大这么多年。我觉得当我们长大后，就该轮到我们尝试做一些事情，让社区变得更美好。就是回馈那些帮助你成为未来的你的所有人和整个社区的想法。

Apart from that, also make sure to maintain a good bond or a good relationship between your family members because they are the closest people to you out of everyone in the world. They are the people who brought you up, they are the people who helped shape who you are in the future, and they are the people who are going to be with you for most of your life. I think it's important to acknowledge that and make sure that you don't make it a cold relationship or a bad relationship between you and your family.

除此之外，还要确保维持与家庭成员之间的良好关系，因为他们是世界上最亲近你的人。他们是养育你的人，他们帮助塑造了你未来的人，他们是会在你大部分生命中陪伴你的人。我认为重要的是要认识到这一点，并确保你不要让你和家人之间的关系变得冷淡或糟糕。

So, I think those are some really important points. Just to summarize everything one last time: try your best to stay happy, try to give back to the community, and this one's not a try—keep a good relationship with your family.

所以，我认为这些都是一些非常重要的要点。最后总结一下：尽你所能保持快乐，尽力回馈社区，然后就是保持与家人的良好关系。

That'll be all for today. The end. Bye!
