停止正在做的17件事美國總統(tǒng)寫給女兒的信

　　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 dont even realize they had a life until its already over.

　　生命如此短暫。我們有時(shí)候覺得生命怎么也走不完，實(shí)際上，你現(xiàn)在活著，過不了多久，就會(huì)死去。人生真是轉(zhuǎn)眼一瞬間的事情，很多人到臨死前才意識(shí)到這一生已經(jīng)結(jié)束。

　　1.Stop Doubting Yourself 停止懷疑自己

　　If you dont believe in yourself, nobody will. Success starts in your mind, and if all youre doing is putting yourself down and predicting failure, itll become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Instead of doubting yourself, think positively. Not only will you be happier and more successful, youll spread it to everyone around you.

　　如果你自己都不相信自己，那沒人會(huì)相信你。成功源于你的頭腦，如果你所做的是不斷地看扁自己，預(yù)言著未來的失敗，這就真的會(huì)成為現(xiàn)實(shí)。與其懷疑自己，不如積極的考慮問題。不僅會(huì)讓自己更加開心和成功，你還能夠感染到周圍的人。

　　2.Stop Being Negative 停止消極

　　Now that youre done doubting yourself,stop doubting others. You dont 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 dont like hearing negativity.

　　現(xiàn)在你不要再懷疑自己了，也別再懷疑身邊的人。你不希望被人對你挑剔，那么也不要再去挑剔身邊的人。想想你給別人帶來的什么樣的感受吧即使出發(fā)點(diǎn)是好的，別人也不想聽到那么多消極的事情呀。

　　3.Stop Procrastinating 停止拖延

　　I dont feel like procrastinating right now Ill do it tomorrow. When you procrastinate, you remain stagnant. Whatever youre putting off doesnt go away; resolve the problem, and move on. Youll be much happier in the long run.

　　我現(xiàn)在不想做，還是留到明天吧。一旦開始拖延，其實(shí)你已經(jīng)停滯不前了。你拖延的事情不會(huì)自行解決。解決問題，繼續(xù)前行吧。從長遠(yuǎn)角度來說你會(huì)更加快樂。

　　4.Stop Being Mean 不要那么刻薄

　　Its completely possible to step on someones toes without meaning to  it happens all the time. Theres no need topile on by purposefully doing mean things, so make a conscious effort to stop being mean. If someone wrongs you, let it go. Theres no need to seek vengeance unless thats the type of person you want to be.

　　無意踩到別人的情況真的有可能會(huì)發(fā)生常常會(huì)發(fā)生。但沒必要去處心積慮地做一些不好的事情，所以要有意識(shí)地讓自己不要那么刻薄。如果有人對你無理地對待，隨他們?nèi)ズ昧�。沒必要去報(bào)復(fù)，除非你也想成為那一類的人。

　　5.Stop Eating Out 不要在外吃飯

　　Eating out is the biggest waste of money.Every so often its 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: Itll save you money, keep you healthier, and occasionally impress people.

　　在外面吃飯真的非常非常的浪費(fèi)錢。也許每次對于你而言都是一次犒賞，但每頓都在外面吃反而是花光積蓄的最快方式。至少也去學(xué)學(xué)怎么做一些自己喜歡的菜：既能省錢，還能讓你更健康，還會(huì)讓其他人眼前一亮。

　　6.Stop Being Lazy 不要再偷懶

　　Lazy people are annoying  its like pulling teeth getting them to do anything. If I cant 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, Id rather go alone. People have enough trouble motivating themselves; dont make your friends and family waste their valuable energy motivating you as well.

　　懶人真的很招人煩得像趕驢磨墨一樣逼著他們做事情。如果我想跟你看一場電影，卻不得不花一個(gè)小時(shí)說服你起床，那我寧愿一個(gè)人去看。給自己動(dòng)力都不是件容易的事情，就別讓朋友和家人浪費(fèi)寶貴的精力再來給你動(dòng)力了吧。

　　7.Stop Complaining 停止抱怨

　　We all have problems, and sometimes we need to vent to someone. Thats acceptable, but pay attention to how often youre venting. We all love helping our friends and family, but when all you get from someone is negativity, its easier to cut them off than help, especially if theyre always complaining about the same things.

　　我們都有麻煩事，有時(shí)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(gè)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(shí)候。

　　8.Stop Being Selfish 別再那么自私

　　If you only think about yourself, youll soon find yourself by yourself. Stop for a minute and think about how youractions affect other people  did you take the last cup of coffee from thebreak room? Refill it! Do you live with others? Dont drink out the milkcarton. We share this world 100% of the time, so every action you take canaffect other people.

　　如果你只考慮你自己，那么很快你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)身邊只剩下你自己。停一分鐘想想你的行為會(huì)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(gè)世界是一個(gè)完全由大家分享的世界，你所做的每件事都會(huì)影響到別人。

　　9.Stop Wasting Time 別再浪費(fèi)時(shí)間

　　Ive said it before, and Ill say it again:time is the most valuable resource we have. Dont waste your time on unproductive things. If you want to explore the worlds dark corners, thats great. I still associate with people who have not-so-kosher careers, but I dont hang out with those people at the expense of my own short- and long-term goals.

　　雖然之前說過了，但我還想再說一遍：時(shí)間是我們擁有的最寶貴的資源，不要把時(shí)間浪費(fèi)在沒有意義的事情上面，如果你想探索這個(gè)世界的黑暗角落，很好。我也認(rèn)識(shí)一些沒有固定工作的一些自由職業(yè)者，但我不會(huì)以犧牲自己的短期長期目標(biāo)為代價(jià)和他們出去玩樂。

　　10.Stop Making Promises 別再做承諾

　　Always under-promise and over-deliver. When you make a promise, youre adding responsibility to your plate that, despite all your best intentions, you may not be able to deliver on. More often than not, your promise is an absolute (i.e I promise Ill always love you)， and only Sith deal in absolutes. Instead of making a promise with your words, simply be there when people need you, and exceed their expectations with your actions.

　　總是做承諾，總是做不到。每次做承諾都是不禁給自己增添了責(zé)任，無論你的出發(fā)點(diǎn)有多好，你都不可能完成所有的部分。大部分時(shí)候，你的承諾都太過絕對(比如我發(fā)誓我永遠(yuǎn)愛你)，也只能在絕對環(huán)境中才能實(shí)現(xiàn)。與其用語言許下承諾，不如在別人需要你的時(shí)候出現(xiàn)，然后用行動(dòng)達(dá)到他們的期望吧。

　　11.Stop Being a Pushover 不要做老好人

　　We live in a capitalistic society in which everyones trying to sell us something. Everyones looking out for themselves in one way or another, and you need to do the same. Stop putting yourself out because youre too shy to say no.

　　我們所處的社會(huì)，每個(gè)人都試圖告知我們一些事情。每個(gè)人都從不同的角度去找尋著自己，你也需要，你要做的就是在合適的時(shí)候說不。

　　12.Stop Listening to Haters 不要聽討厭的人說話

　　No matter what you want to do in life,theres always someone around to tell you why it cant and wont work. I can come up with millions of reasons Twitter wont work, and yet its one of the most popular social media sites on the web. My opinion didnt stop Twitters success any more than it convinced Kobe Bryant to quit the NBA or Josh Hartnettto stop acting. Why would you let someones opinion stop you?

　　無論你想干什么，總會(huì)有人告訴你不要這么做，沒有用的。我可以想出成百萬條Twitter不實(shí)用的理由，但它還是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上最流行的社交網(wǎng)站之一。我的想法不會(huì)阻止Twitter的成功，就像你無法勸科比退出NBA或喬什哈奈特不要當(dāng)演員了一樣，都毫無意義。那么為什么要讓別人的想法阻止你呢?

　　13.Stop Being Wasteful 停止浪費(fèi)

　　You dont finish your meals,and away food instead. You leave the faucet running when you brush your teeth,pouring precious water down the drain. You drive places you could easily walk,burning gasoline (a non-renewable resource)。 You are wasteful,and it needs to stop.

　　你飯沒吃完，然后扔掉食物;刷牙的時(shí)候還開著水龍頭，就讓寶貴的水嘩嘩的流走;明明可以走到的地方你偏要開車，燃燒汽油(無法再生資源)。如果你浪費(fèi)了，那就趕緊停止這一惡習(xí)。

　　14.Stop Littering 不要亂扔垃圾

　　The only thing I hate more than wasteful people are litterbugs. Litterbugs are my least favorite bug, and there are more than youd think. If youve ever thrown even one piece of gum, paper, candywrapper, cigarette butt, etc on the ground, youre a disgusting litterbug, and you should be ashamed of yourself. There are over 7 billion people in the world if each person only throws one innocent piece of garbage on the ground, thats 7 billion pieces of garbage littering a world in which nobody did it。

　　唯一一個(gè)讓我覺得比浪費(fèi)的人更可惡的就是垃圾蟲。垃圾蟲最讓我厭惡，而且永遠(yuǎn)多的讓你數(shù)不清。如果你曾扔過一塊口香糖，一張紙、糖果包裝、煙蒂，那么你就是惡心的垃圾蟲。你應(yīng)該感到恥辱。世界上有超過70億的人如果每個(gè)人都無意識(shí)的扔一點(diǎn)垃圾，那么全世界就會(huì)變成70億垃圾場，哪怕沒有罪魁禍?zhǔn)住?/p>

　　Your one decision makes a HUGE difference,and I will not allow you to blow it off and walk around with your head held high. Youre a litterbug, and it needs to stop immediately. You dont get a life hack for this one, you filthy animal. Just stop  you already know how.

　　你的一個(gè)決定會(huì)產(chǎn)生深遠(yuǎn)的影響，我不贊成你去大馬路大聲高呼。如果你是垃圾蟲，那么就需要馬上停止了，也許不會(huì)救命，但能讓你不那么惹人厭。停止這一舉動(dòng)吧，你知道該怎么做的。

　　15.Stop Taking Everything Personally 別把每件事太往心里去

　　People get offended about the strangest things. Take Kendrick Lamars now-infamous verse on Control this summer: he called out a list of a dozen rappers he thinks hes better than (and hes right)。 The internet went crazy, and rappers all over the industry rushed to their mics to record a response. The thing is, all K-Dot said is hes the best rapper. Everyone took it personally, and thats exactly what he was going for. The lesson to learn from this is that not everything is about you, and if youre easily upset, someone will use that to their advantage.

　　人們會(huì)因?yàn)橐恍┢婀值氖虑楦械奖磺址�。就拿Kendrick Lamar這個(gè)夏天備受爭議的歌曲《Control》為例：他在歌詞中挑釁了一些他認(rèn)為比他弱的說唱歌手(的確是這樣)，一石激起千層浪，整個(gè)說唱界的歌手都蜂擁錄歌作為回?fù)�。重點(diǎn)在于，所有的人都認(rèn)為自己是最好的說唱者，每個(gè)人都更看重自己，這就是他的目的所在。這件事教給我們的無非就是不是所有的事都要圍著你轉(zhuǎn)，如果你是玻璃心，有人會(huì)利用這一點(diǎn)。

　　16.Stop Talking 不要再說話了

　　Sometimes its best to just STFU especially in relationships. I cant even count how many times I created anissue that didnt need to be an issue simply because I opened my mouth. Even if what you want to say is important, just shut up and ride it out. You can say more with your actions than words, and you cant listen when youre talking.

　　有時(shí)候沉默是金特別在情侶關(guān)系里。我都記不清到底多少次因?yàn)檎f錯(cuò)話引發(fā)了本可以避免的爭端。即使你想說的非常重要，那也閉嘴，自行消化。你可以用行動(dòng)證明一切，畢竟你自己說話的時(shí)候是聽不見的。

　　17.Just Stop, and Breathe 停一下，深呼吸吧

　　No matter what youre doing in life or how your day is going, theres always room to just stop for a moment and just breathe. Try it right now to celebrate getting through this list of everythingyoure doing wrong.

　　無論你現(xiàn)在在干什么，這一天過得怎么樣，你都需要好好停一下深呼吸。不如現(xiàn)在就歇一歇，犒賞自己總算挺過了一些錯(cuò)事。
