Worried

擔心

We all worry about the stresses of life. Telling people you are worried by email makes it seem as if you lack confidence in your abilities. If you are worried, don't bother saying that to anyone--just express what you are concerned about and offer solutions.

我們都擔心生活中的壓力。告訴別人你為郵件感到憂慮表明你似乎對自己的能力缺乏自信。如果你感到擔憂，不需要告訴任何人—只需要表達你擔心什么和提出解決措施。

I'm worried about my presentation.

我擔心我的演講。

I'm worried the client will not be satisfied.

我怕客戶不滿意。

Worried is the reason people are not confident. Being worried comes from imagining a bad or worst case scenario. Its two components are thinking ahead and fearing a negative outcome. When you find yourself thinking ahead to the day of your presentation or project submission, summon a positive image of a supportive audience and an impressed client. Smile, hear the audience applauding, and feel the firm handshake of your happy client. If you are unable to imagine a positive image, then focus only on the present moment as you complete the project and prepare for the presentation.

很多的擔心害怕都來自不自信。擔心中間出狀況，害怕結果不理想——這些只能讓你的精力都集中在負面的假設中，而無暇顧及當下的事情。如果你無法往好的地方想，那么就全力以赴做好手頭的事情吧！
