本文由尤慕译自quora: How can I thoroughly screw up my life?

• Go to school and get good grades.(接受学校教育，争取好成绩)
• Enroll at a university on a program that is "in demand", completely avoiding the things you really want to do because you can't make money doing those things.(按照要求考入大学，全面的逃避自己真正想做的事，因为后者不能为你带来金钱上的收入)
• Get a job and work your up the corporate ladder for 40 years until you become so old that you have to retire.(得到一份工作，不停地往上爬个40年直到你老到要退休为止)
• Drink alcohol every day to help you endure your corporate job.(为了忍受这份工作，每天喝酒)
• Use your retirement fund to maintain your alcohol habit.(利用退休金来维持喝酒的习惯)
• Get poor, move into a retirement home or a homeless shelter, and die there.(变穷，搬进养老院，死在那里)

It may not seem so dramatic because its the "default path" but surely, the most effective way to fuck up your life is to avoid living it.(这也许不那么悲剧因为这是多数人的默认要走的路，但可以确定的是，搞糟生活最有效的方式是不要生活）
