岁末年初，一个16岁女孩的12条人生感悟

Trust Me

相信自己 

I gained so much confidence in myself this year. I took trips alone. Those moments gave me space to reflect, find myself, and feel good about the person I’ve become.

这一年，我对自己充满信心。我独自旅行。这些时刻给了我反思的空间，让我找到了自我，并对自己的成长感到欣慰。

Trust Others

  信任他人  

Finding myself and building confidence happened because I let more people in. I’ve been lucky to work with some of the most incredible people this year, whether through politics, advocacy, or school. It’s made me appreciate the importance of teamwork.

找到自我、建立自信是因为我让更多的人走进了我。今年，我很幸运能与一些最不可思议的人共事，无论是通过政治、宣传还是学校。这让我体会到团队合作的重要性。

It’s Okay to Say No

说 “不 ”！没关系 

Say No, You’re Not Selfish.

Climate anxiety is real. During COP29, I felt hopeless at times. I was lucky to have a community that supported me, but I also realized I needed to recharge. Even though there were so many opportunities to chase after, I recognized my fatigue and took a break. You can’t do your best work when you’re nearing burnout, and that’s okay.
说不，并不代表自私。

气候焦虑是真实存在的。在 COP29 期间，我有时感到绝望。我很幸运能有一个支持我的社区，但我也意识到自己需要充电。尽管有那么多机会可以追逐，我还是意识到了自己的疲惫，于是休息了一段时间。当你倦怠时，你不可能做好工作。说“不”，没关系的。

Breaks Are Important

休息很重要

Rest matters. After conferences, I like to go hiking to remind myself why I started climate activism in the first place to find myself
休息很重要。会议结束后，我喜欢去徒步旅行，提醒自己当初为什么要从事气候活动，找回自我。

Don’t Try to Make Everyone’s Life Yours

不要试图把他人的生活都变成你的

A lot of my work is about climate literacy, especially through social media. After two and a half years of doing this, I’ve realized you can’t get everyone to agree with you. That’s fine. Focus on the people where you can make the biggest difference.

我的很多工作都与气候知识普及有关，尤其是通过社交媒体。做了两年半之后，我意识到你不可能让所有人都同意你的观点。没关系。把重点放在你能带来最大改变的人身上。

Connections Matter More Than Numbers

联系比数字更重要

It’s so easy to get fixated on numbers, whether it’s followers, likes, or grades. I’m still learning this, but numbers don’t determine you. What matters are the connections and friendships you make and the lessons you learn.
人们很容易迷恋数字，无论是粉丝、点赞还是成绩。我仍在学习克服这一点，但数字并不能决定你。重要的是你建立的人脉和友谊，以及你学到的经验教训。

Be Flexible With Goals

目标要灵活

I love setting goals. But I’ve learned to see them as guidelines, not rules. Flexibility makes room for growth and change.
我喜欢设定目标。但我学会了把它们看作是指导方针，而不是规则。灵活性为成长和变化留出了空间。

Sometimes You Have to Let Go

有时你必须放手

This year, I’ve had to say goodbye to friendships and opportunities. It’s okay to feel sad and grieve those losses, but I’ve also realized that holding on to toxic cycles isn’t worth it. No matter how much history you have.
今年，我不得不告别友谊和机会。我也对这些损失感到悲伤和难过，但我也意识到，坚持有毒的循环是不值得的。无论你们曾经拥有多少的历史。

Do It So You Don’t Regret It

做了就不会后悔

I’ve been nervous about applying for certain opportunities—sometimes I got them, sometimes I didn’t. What I’ve learned is that I spend more time wondering about missed chances than I do regretting rejections. Just go for it.
在申请某些机会时，我一直很紧张--有时我得到了，有时我没有。我学到的是，我花在纠结错过机会上的时间比花在后悔被拒上的时间更多。放手去做吧！

If You Put Someone on a Pedestal, 

They Have No Choice

 But to Look Down on You

如果你把别人放在神台上

他们别无选择，只能俯视你

This year, I met so many amazing people at conferences and events, presidents, ministers, and academics, but i learned that No matter your age or position, you have something to share, and so do others. You’re worth knowing, too.

今年，我在各种会议和活动中遇到了很多了不起的人，有总统、部长和学者，但我明白了一个道理：无论你的年龄和职位如何，你都有值得分享的东西，别人也一样。你也值得被了解。

Admit When You’re Wrong

承认错误

Humility is everything. Saying, “I’m sorry,” can go a long way. People are kind.
谦虚就是一切。说 “对不起 ”会让你走得更远。人们会善意地。

 You’re the Main Character of Your Life, 

But So Is Everyone Else

你是生活的主角，但其他人也一样

This realization has been a game-changer for me, especially with all the speeches and panels I’ve done this year, from COP to school presentations to preparing for a TED Talk. It’s helped me understand that one mistake won’t ruin everything.

这个认识改变了我的生活，尤其是今年我做了很多演讲和小组讨论，从 COP 到学校演讲，再到准备 TED 演讲。它让我明白，一个错误不会毁掉一切。

年底画上句号了。有人说，总结要把开心的事珍藏，把不开心的事轻轻放下；也有人说，总结的是展示亮点，回避遗憾。少年的2024，就如一本日记，写满了欢笑与泪水；也是一首未完的诗，每一句都承载着成长的韵律；更是一场流动的电影，既有闪耀的时刻，也有让人屏息的转折。岁末不只是用“成绩”或“现实”去定义，更应该是心底最真实的感受——那些属于自己的故事和体悟。
