【這架】飛機不會失事的。

三十五歲時你對自己身材不滿意之處，到了四十五歲你就會開始懷念。

任何事都要寫下來。

保持寫日記的習慣。

多拍一些照片。

空巢期被低估了。

你不能買太多黑色套頭毛衣。【考慮到書名，我想正確的翻譯是：你買再多黑色套頭毛衣都不為過…因為可以遮住脖子，參照附圖】

如果鞋子在店裡穿時不合腳，就永遠都不會合腳。

你的孩子若在青春期，你最好養一隻狗，這樣你回家時還會有人歡迎你。【這樣家裡還會有人高興見到你】

任何事都要再三檢查。

聽到有人說「我們的友誼比這個還要重要」時，千萬小心，因為事實很少如此。

自己動手做派皮根本毫無必要。

當你決心要離婚時，立刻去找一位律師辦手續。

多付小費。

絕不讓他們知道。

如果你的衣服只有三分之一不適合你的風格，你就算是穿衣達人了。【如果你只買錯三分之一的衣服，你就比別人強了】

如果朋友請你答應他們，在他們飛機失事後，當他們孩子的監護人，你可以拒絕。

世上沒有秘密。

Buy, don’t rent.

Never marry a man you wouldn’t want to be divorced from.

The plane is not going to crash.

Anything you think is wrong with your body at the age of thirty-five you will be nostalgic for at the age of forty-five.

At the age of fifty-five you will get a saggy roll just above your waist even if you are painfully thin.

This saggy roll just above your waist will be especially visible from the back and will force you to reevaluate half the clothes in your closet, especially the white shirts.

Write everything down.

Keep a journal.

Take more pictures.

There are no secrets.
