tight-lipped
Tight-lipped elders used to say, 'It's not what you want in this world, but what you get.' Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things. You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living. If we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, decide which food to cook first, and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served.
出言谨慎的年长者过去总说：“重要的不是在这个世界上你想要什么，而是你得到了什么。” 心理学教导人们，如果你知道自己需要什么、并且要求合理，你就能得到它。 你可以在头脑里勾画出愿望的蓝图，如同设计房屋的蓝图一样。而我们每个人在日常生活中都在不停地勾画着这样的愿望蓝图。比方说，想请朋友吃晚餐，我们就会筹划菜谱、列购物单、决定先煮什么菜等，这样的筹划对于举行任何形式的宴请都是必不可少的。
