10 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself
停下來：不要再對自己做這10件事
1.Stop trying to hold onto the past.
不要執(zhí)迷過往。
You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last one.
你執(zhí)著于過去，又怎么能翻開人生的新篇章呢？
2.Stop trying to make things perfect.
不要強(qiáng)求事事完美。
The real world doesn't reward perfectionists, it rewards people who get things done.
世界不會嘉獎完美主義者，卻會回報那些努力做事的人。
3.Stop worrying so much.
不要杞人憂天。
Worry will not strip tomorrow of its burdens, it will strip today of its joy.
煩惱焦慮并不會減少明天的負(fù)擔(dān)，卻會失去今天的快樂。
4.Stop trying to compete against everyone else.
不要想著賽過所有人。
Don't worry about what others doing better than you. Concentrate on beating your own records every day. Success is a battle between YOU and YOURSELF only.
與其擔(dān)心別人做得比你好，不如關(guān)注自己怎樣才能一天天做得更好。成功是一場和自己的比賽。
5.Stop being jealous of others.
不要嫉妒別人。
Jealousy is the art of counting someone else's blessings instead of your own. Ask yourself this: “What's something I have that everyone wants?”
嫉妒就是看見別人的好，而忘了自己擁有的東西。問問自己：“什么東西是我所擁有，同時又是每個人都想要的？”
6.Stop thinking you're not ready.
不要覺得自己沒有準(zhǔn)備好。
Nobody ever feels 100% ready when an opportunity arises. Because most great opportunities in life force us to grow beyond our comfort zones, which means we won't feel totally comfortable at first.
當(dāng)機(jī)會到來時，沒有人會覺得是百分百地準(zhǔn)備好的，因為生活中的大多數(shù)機(jī)會都是要我們走出自己的舒適區(qū)，也就是說，機(jī)會來臨時，我們總是會覺得沒有準(zhǔn)備好。
7.Stop trying to buy happiness.
不要花錢買幸福。
Many of the things we desire are expensive. But the truth is, the things that really satisfy us are totally free –love, laughter and working on our passions.
很多我們想要的東西都是價格不菲的。但是，真正能讓我們感到滿足的東西，比如愛、歡笑還有工作中的激情，卻都是不需要花錢的。
8.Stop being scared to make a mistake.
不要害怕犯錯。
Doing something and getting it wrong is at least ten times more productive than doing nothing. Every success has a trail of failures behind it, and every failure is leading towards success. You end up regretting the things you did NOT do far more than the things you did.
做事，犯錯遠(yuǎn)比什么都不做要強(qiáng)。成功的背后總有一連串的失敗，而失敗是通往成功的必經(jīng)之路。最終，你后悔“沒做”的事情要遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)多于你“做過”的事情。
9.Stop lying to yourself.
不要騙自己。
You can lie to anyone else in the world, but you can't lie to yourself. Our lives improve only when we take chances, and the first and most difficult chance we can take is to be honest with ourselves.
你騙得了別人，但騙不了自己。我們不斷地進(jìn)步是因為我們不斷地接受挑戰(zhàn)，而我們面對的第一個也是最艱難的挑戰(zhàn)就是對自己誠實。
10.Stop trying to be everything to everyone.
不要想著成為所有人的一切。
Doing so is impossible, and trying will only burn you out. But making one person smile CAN change the world. Maybe not the whole world, but their world. So narrow your focus.
這樣的想法是不可能實現(xiàn)的，只會讓自己精疲力盡而已。但是，讓一個人微笑就能改變世界，即使改變的不是全世界，也是一個人的世界。所以，把自己的目標(biāo)縮小一點吧。
