奧巴馬寫給女兒的信:停止在做的17件事[選段7/8]
7 停止抱怨 Stop Complaining
We all have problems, and sometimes we need to vent to someone. That's acceptable, but pay attention to how often you're venting. We all love helping our friends and family, but when all you get from someone is negativity, it's easier to cut them off than help, especially if they're always complaining about the same things.
我們都有麻煩事,有時候總想跟別人傾訴。這可以理解,但要注意你吐槽的頻率。我們都喜歡幫助朋友和家人,但如果從那個人身上我只能感知到負(fù)能量,那么還是離得越遠(yuǎn)越好吧,尤其是當(dāng)他們在反復(fù)抱怨同一件事的時候。
8 別再那么自私 Stop Being Selfish
If you only think about yourself, you'll soon find yourself by yourself. Stop for a minute and think about how your actions affect other people – did you take the last cup of coffee from the break room? Refill it! Do you live with others? Don't drink out the milk carton. We share this world 100% of the time, so every action you take can affect other people.
如果你只考慮你自己,那么很快你會發(fā)現(xiàn)身邊只剩下你自己。停一分鐘想想你的行為會給別人帶來什么影響吧——你是不是從休息室拿了最后一杯咖啡?再倒?jié)M呀!你是不是和別人合租?不要喝光所有的牛奶,這個世界是一個完全由大家分享的世界,你所做的每件事都會影響到別人。
