奥巴马写给女儿的信：停止在做的17件事

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.

　　生命如此短暂。我们有时候觉得生命怎么也走不完，实际上，你现在活着，过不了多久，就会死去。人生真是转眼一瞬间的事情，很多人到临死前才意识到这一生已经结束。

　　1 – Stop Doubting Yourself

　　停止怀疑自己

　
　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.

　　如果你自己都不相信自己，那没人会相信你。成功源于你的头脑，如果你所做的是不断地看扁自己，预言着未来的失败，这就真的会成为现实。与其怀疑自己，不如积极的考虑问题。不仅会让自己更加开心和成功，你还能够感染到周围的人。

　　2 – Stop Being Negative

　　停止消极

　
　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.

　　现在你不要再怀疑自己了，也别再怀疑身边的人。你不希望被人对你挑剔，那么也不要再去挑剔身边的人。想想你给别人带来的什么样的感受吧——即使出发点是好的，别人也不想听到那么多消极的事情呀。

　　3 – Stop Procrastinating

　　停止拖延

　
　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
