How to Prepare for the First Time at Anything

如何為你的第一次做準備

Forget what others think

忘記別人怎么想

In order to decrease the stress you feel about your first time, just forget what others are thinking of you.

為了減少第一次做事的壓力，需要忘記別人怎么想的。

First, many people don't really care that much if you happen to fail at something. If you are open about your inexperience, they are most likely to forgive your inability to perform well.

首先，如果你沒有完成任務的話，很多人不會太去在意。如果你一開始沒有經驗，他們很可能會原諒你沒有能力表現得很好。

Second, remember that others have also started from"zero" as well (driving a car, giving a public speech, going out fora date, etc.).

其次，記住其他人也是從零開始的（開車，在公眾場合做演講，出去約會等等。）。

Third, focus on your own performance — not onothers. For instance, if you're going to be running in your first marathon every your goal is just to pass the finish line, not to run a new world record.

第三，專注于你自己的表現-而非他人。比如說，如果你要開始跑第一次馬拉松，每一個目標就是通過終點，而不是創造一個新的記錄。
