The real world doesn't reward perfectionists, it rewards people who get things done.
現(xiàn)實世界不偏愛完美主義者，它只回報那些最終能夠完成任務(wù)的人。
24
Stop following the path of least resistance.
不要總是走阻力最小的人生道路。
Life is not easy, especially when you plan on achieving something worthwhile. Don’t take the easy way out. Do something extraordinary.
人生不易，尤其是當(dāng)你有一個偉大的夢想時候，你將來會遭遇到的困難會更大、更多。不要去做沒有挑戰(zhàn)性的事，去做些一鳴驚人的事吧。
25
Stop acting like everything is fine if it isn't.
不要假裝一切都很順利。
It's okay to fall apart for a little while. You don’t always have to pretend to be strong, and there is no need to constantly prove that everything is going well. You shouldn’t be concerned with what other people are thinking either – cry if you need to – it’s healthy to shed your tears. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to smile again.
挫敗感或灰心喪氣是很正常的一件事。你不必假裝自己很堅強，而且你根本就沒有必要向別人證明一切都如我所愿。你也不用太在意別人是怎么看待你。想哭就哭吧，流流淚也有益于健康。越快釋放壓抑的情緒，快樂就會越快降臨。
26
Stop blaming others for your troubles.
不要將自己的麻煩歸咎給別人。
The extent to which you can achieve your dreams depends on the extent to which you take responsibility for your life. When you blame others for what you’re going through, you deny responsibility – you give others power over that part of your life.
你是否能實現(xiàn)自己的夢想在很大程度上就取決于你是否對自己負責(zé)。當(dāng)你把自己所面對困難都歸咎于別人時，你也就是在逃避責(zé)任——不是別人而是你自己才能改變自己的人生。
27
Stop trying to be everything to everyone.
不要試圖成為一個人的全部。
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.
這想法只會讓你更筋疲力盡。但是，給你身邊的人帶去一點快樂確實能改變這個世界，即便無法讓整個世界變得更美好，但你確實讓那個人的世界變得更美好了。所以，把你的注意力都聚焦在你力所能及的地方。
28
Stop worrying so much.
不要憂慮重重。
Worry will not strip tomorrow of its burdens, it will strip today of its joy. One way to check if something is worth mulling over is to ask yourself this question: “Will this matter in one year’s time? Three years? Five years?” If not, then it’s not worth worrying about.
憂慮不會帶走明天的負擔(dān)，但它確能帶走今天的快樂。而有些事情卻是值得你去深思的，判斷方法就是問自己：“這件事在1年后、3年后、5年后是否還有重要意義嗎？”如果不是的話，你沒有什么好憂慮的。
29
Stop focusing on what you don’t want to happen.
不要把注意力都放在不想要發(fā)生的事情上。
Focus on what you do want to happen. Positive thinking is at the forefront of every great success story. If you awake every morning with the thought that something wonderful will happen in your life today, and you pay close attention, you’ll often find that you’re right.
你應(yīng)該把注意力放在你想要發(fā)生的事情上。積極思考總是出現(xiàn)在每一則成功故事的序幕里。如過你每天醒來時想的是美好的事情就會在今天發(fā)生的話，你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)事實就是如此。
30
Stop being ungrateful.
不要忘了感激你所擁有的一切。
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs. Instead of thinking about what you’re missing, try thinking about what you have that everyone else is missing.
不論你人生際遇如何，每一天都要心懷感激醒來。在世界某處某些人還在為自己的命運無望地抗爭著。所以，不要去想自己錯過了什么，想想自己擁有哪些其他人沒有的。
