Life is short. It may feel like it takes forever sometimes, but the reality is that you live, and a short time later, you die. It happens so quickly, many people don’t even realize they had a life until it’s already over.
生命是短暫的。有時候你會覺得生命無休無止,但現(xiàn)實是,你現(xiàn)在活著,過不了多久,你就會死去。整個過程如此之迅速,以至于很多人直到臨死前猜意識到生命結(jié)束了。
1 – Stop Doubting Yourself1 –不要懷疑自己
If you don’t believe in yourself, nobody will. Success starts in your mind, and if all you’re doing is putting yourself down and predicting failure, it’ll become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Instead of doubting yourself, think positively. Not only will you be happier and more successful, you’ll spread it to everyone around you.
如果連你自己都不相信自己,那就更沒人會相信你了。成功開始于你的內(nèi)心,如果你所做的事情都只是在貶低你自己,以及只會預(yù)測到未來的失敗,那它就會像你自己預(yù)言的那樣而失敗。不要懷疑自己,積極一點。你不僅會更快樂更加成功,而且還會將這份成功與快樂傳遞給身邊的人。
2 – Stop Being Negative2 – 不要悲觀
Now that you’re done doubting yourself, stop doubting others. You don’t like when people are critical of you, so stop being critical of others. Think about how you make other people feel – even if you have good intentions, people don’t like hearing negativity.
既然你已經(jīng)懷疑你自己了,那就別再去懷疑別人了。你不喜歡別人批評你,所以也不要去批評別人。想想你做的事情會給別人怎么樣的影響—即使你是為了他們好,別人也不喜歡聽到一些悲觀的事情。
3 – Stop Procrastinating3?– 不要拖延
I don’t feel like procrastinating right now – I’ll do it tomorrow. When you procrastinate, you remain stagnant. Whatever you’re putting off doesn’t go away; resolve the problem, and move on. You’ll be much happier in the long run.
我現(xiàn)在不想做-明天再做吧。當(dāng)你拖延的時候,你仍舊停滯不前。無論你怎么拖延,你要做的事情還是得做;把問題解決了,才能繼續(xù)向前。長此以往,你會更快樂。
4 – Stop Being Mean4 –不要那么刻薄
It’s completely possible to step on someone’s toes without meaning to – it happens all the time. There’s no need to pile on by purposefully doing mean things, so make a conscious effort to stop being mean. If someone wrongs you, let it go. There’s no need to seek vengeance unless that’s the type of person you want to be.
如果你踩到別人的鞋帶,這完全可能不是你自己故意的—但這些事總是發(fā)生。我們沒有必要故意去做一些刻薄的事情,所以有意識地讓自己別再刻薄了。如果有人做了對不起你的事,讓他去吧。沒有必要找機會復(fù)仇,除非你就是想做那樣的人。
