Stop spending time with the wrong people. </p><p>不要花时间和错误的人相处。 </p><p>Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you. You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot. Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth. And remember, it’s not the people that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you’re at your worst that are your true friends.</p><p>人生苦短,没有必要和那些令你不快乐的人纠缠。如果那个人需要你,你不需要刻意去做什么,他/她自然会留出你的位置。绝对不要和那些低看了你价值的人在一起。记住,一帆风顺时守在自己身边并不珍贵,当你深陷困境却依然和你并肩在一起的才是真正的朋友。</p><p>2. Stop running from your problems.</p><p>不要逃避问题。</p><p>Face them head on. No, it won’t be easy. There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at them. We aren’t supposed to be able to instantly solve problems. That’s not how we’re made. In fact, we’re made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall. Because that’s the whole purpose of living – to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of time. This is what ultimately molds us into the person we become.</p><p>直面并解决问题。没错,这很不容易。世上没有人能够轻松的渡过每一个难关。也没有人就能不停地轻松地战胜困难。事实上,我们本就该迷茫,伤心,难过,出差错,因为那是生活的意义所在——去面对问题,去学习,去适应,随着时间的发展学会解决问题,塑造了我们成为什么样的人。</p><p>3. Stop lying to yourself.</p><p>不要欺骗自己。</p><p>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.</p><p>你可以对世界上任何一个人撒谎,唯独不能跟自己撒谎。只有我们不断接受挑战,生活才能前进,然第一个也是最难的挑战就是诚实的面对自己。</p><p>4.

Yes, help others; but help yourself too. If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, that moment is now.</p><p>世界上最悲惨的事情是,太爱某一个人而丢失了自己,忘记了自己也是不一样的存在。是的,要帮助别人,但是更要爱护自己。如果你从没有跟从自己的内心,从没有为自己做些重要的事情,那现在就开始。</p><p>5. Stop trying to be someone you’re not.</p><p>不要强迫自己成为理想的别人。</p><p>One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world that’s trying to make you like everyone else. Someone will always be prettier, someone will always be smarter, someone will always be younger, but they will never be you. Don’t change so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love the real you.</p><p>世上最大的挑战就是将自己改变成为另一个人。总有人更加漂亮,总有人更聪明,总有人更年轻,但他们都不是你。不要为了让别人更喜欢自己而去强迫自己改变。做自己,对的人会爱真正的你。</p><p>6.

Stop being scared to make a mistake.</p><p>不要害怕犯错。</p><p>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.</p><p>不断尝试,哪怕是错了,也比什么都不做好十几倍。每份成功背后都有无数的失败,每一次失败都是通往成功的尝试。你会为没有做过的事情后悔而不是去尝试了的。</p><p>8. Stop berating yourself for old mistakes.</p><p>不要为过去的错误而折磨自己。</p><p>We may love the wrong person and cry about the wrong things, but no matter how things go wrong, one thing is for sure, mistakes help us find the person and things that are right for us. We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future. Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.</p><p>我们也许会错爱过某个人,为某件错事而哭泣,但是不论多大的错事,可以确定的是,错误的人或事会帮我们找到适合自己的人或事。我们都会犯错,都会挣扎,甚至后悔过去做的事情。但是如今,你不是曾经犯错误的你,更不是曾经不停挣扎着的你,你是全新的自己,那个有能力塑造新的现在和未来的你。曾经发生的每一件事都是在为将要到来的时刻做准备。</p><p>9.

Stop being idle.</p><p>不要闲着。</p><p>Don t think too much or you’ll create a problem that wasn t even there in the first place. Evaluate situations and take decisive action. You cannot change what you refuse to confront. Making progress involves risk. Period! You can t make it to second base with your foot on first.</p><p>别想太多,不然你会制造出很多不必要的麻烦。评估一下情况然后就做决定。你无法改变你不能面对的事。前进总是意味着承担风险。不迈出第一步,你就无法走出第二步,生活就是这样的。</p><p>12.

Stop thinking you re not ready.</p><p>不要总是想自己还未做好准备。</p><p>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.</p><p>当机会来了,没有人会觉得自己做好了100%的准备。因为生活中的重大机会总是会迫使我们走出自己的舒适区,这就意味着刚开始的时候我们肯定会感觉不舒服。</p><p><br></p><p>13. Stop getting involved in relationships for the wrong reasons.</p><p><br></p><p>不要因为某个错误的原因开始一段感情。</p><p>Relationships must be chosen wisely. It s better to be alone than to be in bad company. There s no need to rush. If something is meant to be, it will happen – in the right time, with the right person, and for the best reason. Fall in love when you’re ready, not when you re lonely.</p><p><br></p><p>必须要明智的选择感情。有个错误的伴侣还不如单身呢。没有必要着急。如果缘分到了,一切都会到来的——在合适的时间跟合适的人。投入一段爱情是因为时机到了而不是感到孤单。</p><p><br></p><p>14. Stop rejecting new relationships just because old ones didn’t work. </p><p>不要因为之前恋情的失败而拒绝新的感情。</p><p>In life you ll realize that there is a purpose for everyone you meet. Some will test you, some will use you and some will teach you. But most importantly, some will bring out the best in you.</p><p>在生命的长河中你会慢慢意识到,遇到所有的人都是命中注定的。有人会考验你,有人会利用你,有人引导你。但是最重要的是,这些会引领你找到真爱。</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>15.

Success is a battle between You and Yourself only.</p><p>不要担心其他人做的比你好。每天要专心于超越自己,成功只是一场自己跟自己的战役。</p><p><br></p><p>16. Stop being jealous of others.</p><p><br></p><p>不要嫉妒他人。</p><p>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?”</p><p>嫉妒其实就是在细数别人的幸福却忽视了自己的幸福。要常问问自己:“我拥有哪些别人羡慕不已的东西呢?”</p><p><br></p><p>17. Stop complaining and feeling sorry for yourself.</p><p>停止抱怨和内疚。</p><p>Life s curveballs are thrown for a reason –to shift your path in a direction that is meant for you.

You’ll often see that eventually they led you to a better place, person, state of mind, or situation. So smile!

You will end up hurting yourself more than the people you hate. Forgiveness is not saying, “What you did to me is okay.” It is saying, “I’m not going to let what you did to me ruin my happiness forever.” Forgiveness is the answer… let go, find peace, liberate yourself! And remember, forgiveness is not just for other people, it’s for you too. If you must, forgive yourself, move on and try to do better next time.</p><p>如果人心中有恨,最终给自己带来的伤害要远远多出别人所带给自己的伤害。原谅不是说“我不介意你曾经伤害过我”,而是要说,“我不会让你的所作所为毁掉我今后的幸福生活。”宽恕是问题的答案——放手过去、找到内心的平静、最后解放自己!而且,你要记住宽恕并不只是对别人,同时也是对你自己的。如有必要,宽恕自己,然后继续人生的脚步并在下一回做得更好。</p><p><br></p><p>19.

Stop doing the same things over and over without taking a break.</p><p>不要总是不停地做同一件事,而忘记停下来思考一下。</p><p>The time to take a deep breath is when you don’t have time for it. If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting. Sometimes you need to distance yourself to see things clearly.</p><p>当你觉得自己忙不过来的时候,停下来做一下深呼吸。假如你继续做你一直再做的事,你只会不停地得到你早已得到的东西。有的时候,你需停下来,好让自己看得更清楚。</p><p>22.

Stop acting like everything is fine if it isn t.</p><p>不要假装一切都很顺利。</p><p>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.</p><p>挫败感或灰心丧气是很正常的一件事。你不必假装自己很坚强,而且你根本就没有必要向别人证明一切都如我所愿。你也不用太在意别人是怎么看待你。想哭就哭吧,流流泪也有益于健康。越快释放压抑的情绪,快乐就会越快降临。</p><p>26. Stop blaming others for your troubles.</p><p>不要将自己的麻烦归咎给别人。</p><p>The extent to which you can achieve your dreams depends on the extent to which you take responsibility for your life.

Stop worrying so much.</p><p>不要忧虑重重。</p><p>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.</p><p>忧虑不会带走明天的负担,但它却能带走今天的快乐。而有些事情却是值得你去深思的,判断方法就是问自己:“这件事在1年后、3年后、5年后是否还有重要意义吗?”如果不是的话,你没有什么好忧虑的。</p><p>29.Stop focusing on what you don’t want to happen.</p><p>不要把注意力都放在不想要发生的事情上。</p><p>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.</p><p>你应该把注意力放在你想要发生的事情上。积极思考总是出现在每一则成功故事的序幕里。如果你每天醒来时想的是美好的事情就会在今天发生的话,你就会发现事实就是如此。</p><p>30. Stop being ungrateful.</p><p>不要忘了感激你所拥有的一切。</p><p>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.
