There’s nothing wrong with liking security. As I already mentioned, security is a necessary condition for everyone who wants to thrive.
喜欢安全感没什么错。就像我之前提过的那样，安全感对每一个想要茁壮成长的人来说都是必须的。
But ask yourself this: When you approach the end of your life, will you be glad you stayed safe, or will you look back and regret all the roads not taken?
但是问问你自己：当你走到生命的尽头时，是会很高兴自己待在安全环境里，还是会回想往事并且后悔所有那些未曾选择的道路？
Don’t let your desire for security eclipse your equally valid need for freedom. You’re an adult. You’ve earned some time outside the cage.
不要让你对安全感的渴望遮盖住你同等需要的自由。你是一个成人。你要挣得一些在笼子外面的时间。
Be careful out there …. but be out there.
走出牢笼的时候要小心……但是要走出去。
