奥巴马写给女儿的信：停止在做的17 件事 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. 生命如此短暂。我们有时候觉得生命怎么也走不完，实 际上，你现在活着，过不了多久，就会死去。人生真是转眼 一瞬间的事情，很多人到临死前才意识到这一生已经结束。 1 – Stop Doubting Yourself 停止怀疑自己 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. 如果你自己都不相信自己，那没人会相信你。成功源于 你的头脑，如果你所做的是不断地看扁自己，预言着未来的 失败，这就真的会成为现实。与其怀疑自己，不如积极的考 虑问题。不仅会让自己更加开心和成功，你还能够感染到周 围的人。 2 – Stop Being Negative 停止消极 Now that you’re done doubting yourself, stop doubting others.

You’ll be much happier in the long run. • 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
