5 – Stop Eating Out
5 –不要外出吃饭

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.
外出吃饭是最浪费钱的。你觉得这是对你自己很好的待遇,但外出吃饭却是让你用完自己积蓄最快的方式。至少学着怎么烹调一些你自己喜欢的食物:那不仅可以省钱,还可以让你更健康,偶尔还能让别人眼前一亮。

6 – Stop Being Lazy
6 –不要再懒惰

Lazy people are annoying – it’s like pulling teeth getting them to do anything. If I can’t do something as simple as going to a movie with you without having to factor in an hour of convincing you to get your lazy butt out of bed, I’d rather go alone. People have enough trouble motivating themselves; don’t make your friends and family waste their valuable energy motivating you as well.
懒人是很恼人的——想让他们做点事情简直比登天还难。如果我连像自己看电影这种再平常不过的事都做不到,比起我还用了一个小时去劝你跟我一起去看电影,而你仍旧不愿意起床,那我宁愿一个人去。人们总是很难激励自己;更不要让你的朋友和家人浪费他们宝贵的精力去激励你。

7 – Stop Complaining
7 –停止抱怨

We all have problems, and sometimes we need to vent to someone. That’s acceptable, but pay attention to how often you’re venting. We all love helping our friends and family, but when all you get from someone is negativity, it’s easier to cut them off than help, especially if they’re always complaining about the same things.
我们都会遇到问题,有时候我们需要向别人倾诉。那是可以接受的,但是要注意你倾诉的频率。我们都喜欢帮助我们的朋友跟家人,但是如果你从别人那里听到的全是悲观的东西,那打断他们的抱怨比帮助他们要简单得多,尤其是他们总是在抱怨同样的事情的时候。

8 – Stop Being Selfish
8– 不要那么自私

If you only think about yourself, you’ll soon find yourself by yourself. Stop for a minute and think about how your actions affect other people – did you take the last cup of coffee from the break room? Refill it! Do you live with others? Don’t drink out the milk carton. We share this world 100% of the time, so every action you take can affect other people.
如果你以自我为中心,你就只会看到你自己。用一分钟来想想你的行为是怎么影响别人的—你有没有把休息室里的最后一杯咖啡喝掉了?再把它装满!你是不是跟别人住的?别把盒子里的牛奶喝光。所有的时间里,我们都在同时分享着这个世界,所以你的每一种行为都能影响到其他人。
