­　　Stop Taking Everything

­　　Personally

­　　別把每件事太往心里去

­　　People get offended about the strangestthings. Take Kendrick Lamar’s now-infamous verse on “Control” thissummer: he called out a list of a dozen rappers he thinks he’s betterthan (and he’s right)。 The internet went crazy, and rappers all over the industry rushedto their mics to record a response. The thing is, all K-Dot said is he’s thebest rapper. Everyone took it personally, and that’s exactly what he was goingfor. The lesson to learn from this is that not everything is about you, and ifyou’re easily upset, someone will use that to their advantage.

­　　人們會因為一些奇怪的事情感到被侵犯。就拿Kendrick Lamar這個夏天備受爭議的歌曲《Control》為例：他在歌詞中挑釁了一些他認為比他弱的說唱歌手(的確是這樣)，一石激起千層浪，整個說唱界的歌手都蜂擁錄歌作為回擊。重點在于，所有的人都認為自己是最好的說唱者，每個人都更看重自己，這就是他的目的所在。這件事教給我們的無非就是不是所有的事都要圍著你轉，如果你是玻璃心，有人會利用這一點。

­　　Stop Talking

­　　不要再說話了

­　　Sometimes it’s best to just STFU –especially in relationships. I can’t even count how many times I created anissue that didn’t need to be an issue simply because I opened my mouth. Even ifwhat you want to say is important, just shut up and ride it out. You can saymore with your actions than words, and you can’t listen when you’re talking.

­　　有時候沉默是金——特別在情侶關系里。我都記不清到底多少次因為說錯話引發了本可以避免的爭端。即使你想說的非常重要，那也閉嘴，自行消化。你可以用行動證明一切，畢竟你自己說話的時候是聽不見的。

­　　Just Stop, and Breathe…

­　　停一下，深呼吸吧

­　　No matter what you’re doing in life or howyour day is going, there’s always room to just stop for a moment and justbreathe. Try it right now to celebrate getting through this list of everythingyou’re doing wrong.

­　　無論你現在在干什么，這一天過得怎么樣，你都需要好好停一下深呼吸。不如現在就歇一歇，犒賞自己總算挺過了一些錯事。
