奧巴馬給女兒的生活箴言
下面是學習啦小編整理的奧巴馬給女兒的生活箴言,歡迎大家閱讀!
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,以至于很多人直到生命結束的那一刻才意識到。
1 Stop Eating Out 不要出去吃飯
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。外出吃飯是最浪費錢的。你覺得這是對你自己很好的待遇,但外出吃飯卻是讓你用完自己積蓄最快的方式。至少學著怎么烹調一些你自己喜歡的食物:那不僅可以省錢,還可以讓你更健康,偶爾還能讓別人眼前一亮。
2 Stop Being Lazy 不要懶惰
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。懶人是很惱人的——想讓他們做點事情簡直比登天還難。如果我連像自己看電影這種再平常不過的事都做不到,比起我還用了一個小時去勸你跟我一起去看電影,而你仍舊不愿意起床,那我寧愿一個人去。人們總是很難激勵自己;更不要讓你的朋友和家人浪費他們寶貴的精力去激勵你。
3 Stop Doubting Yourself 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。成功開始于你的內心,如果你所做的事情都只是在貶低你自己,以及只會預測到未來的失敗,那它就會像你自己預言的那樣而失敗。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。
4 Stop Being Negative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。
5 Stop Procrastinating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。
6 Stop Being Mean不要卑鄙
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卑鄙的事情,所以有意識地讓自己別再卑鄙了。如果有人做了對不起你的事,讓他去吧。沒有必要找機會復仇,除非你就是想做那樣的人。
7 Stop Complaining 不要抱怨
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。我們都會遇到問題,有時候我們需要向別人傾訴。那是可以接受的,但是要注意你是怎么傾訴的。我們都喜歡幫助我們的朋友跟家人,但是如果你從別人那里聽到的全是悲觀的東西,那打垮他們比幫助他們要簡單得多,尤其是他們總是在抱怨同樣的事情的時候。
8 Stop Being Selfish 不要自私
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。如果你以自我為中心,你就只會看到你自己。用一分鐘來想想你的行為是怎么影響別人的—你有沒有把休息室里的最后一杯咖啡喝掉了?再把它裝滿!你是不是跟別人住的?別把盒子里的牛奶喝光。所有的時間里,我們都在同時分享著這個世界,所以你的每一種行為都能影響到其他人。
