奥巴马写给女儿的17 件事 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. 2 – Stop Being Negative 停止消极 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. 现在你不要再怀疑自己了，也别再怀疑身边的人。你不希望被人对你挑剔，那么也不要再 去挑剔身边的人。想想你给别人带来的什么样的感受吧—— 即使出发点是好的，别人也不 想听到那么多消极的事情呀。 3 – Stop Procrastinating 停止拖延 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 it go. There’s no need to seek vengeance unless that’s the type of person you want to be. 无意踩到别人的情况真的有可能会发生——常常会发生。但没必要去处心积虑的做一些不 好的事情，所以要有意识地让自己不要那么刻薄。如果有人对你无理地对待，随他们去好 了。没必要去报复，除非你也想成为那一类的人。 5 – Stop Eating Out 不要在外吃饭 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. 在外面吃饭真的非常非常的浪费钱。也许每次对于你而言都是一次犒赏，但每顿都在外面 吃反而是花光积蓄的最快方式。至少也去学学怎么做一些自己喜欢的菜：既能省钱，还能
