奥巴马写给女儿的信:停止在做的17件事
我现在不想做,还是留到明天吧。一旦开始拖延,其实你已经停滞不前了。你拖延的事情不会自行解决。解决问题,继续前行吧。从长远角度来说你会更加快乐。
4 – Stop Being Mean
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.
无意踩到别人的情况真的有可能会发生——常常会发生。但没必要去处心积虑的做一些不好的事情,所以要有意识地让自己不要那么刻薄。如果有人对你无理地对待,随他们去好了。没必要去报复,除非你也想成为那一类的人。
5 – Stop Eating Out
不要在外吃饭
Eating out is the biggest waste of money. Every so often it’s nice to
treat yourself, but eating out for every meal is the quickest way to
drain your bank account. Learn how to cook at least a handful of foods
you enjoy: It’ll save you money, keep you healthier, and occasionally
impress people.
在外面吃饭真的非常非常的浪费钱。也许每次对于你而言都是一次犒赏,但每顿都在外面吃反而是花光积蓄的最快方式。至少也去学学怎么做一些自己喜欢的菜:既能省钱,还能让你更健康,还会让其他人眼前一亮。
6 – Stop Being Lazy
不要再偷懒
Lazy people are annoying – it’s like pulling teeth getting them to do
anything. If I can’t do something as simple as going to a movie with you
without having to factor in an hour of convincing you to get your lazy
butt out of bed, I’d rather go alone. People have enough trouble
motivating themselves; don’t make your friends and family waste their
valuable energy motivating you as well.
懒人真的很招人烦——得像赶驴磨墨一样逼着他们做事情。如果我想跟你看一场电影,却不得不花一个小时说服你起床,那我宁愿一个人去看。给自己动力都不是件容易的事情,就别让朋友和家人浪费宝贵的精力再来给你动力了吧。
