You may not be as smart as you think you are.

你其實沒那么聰明

You’re always so busy

你總是忙忙碌碌

Your work life consists of you running around like a headless chicken. There always seems to be a problem that takes up most of your work day. You also find yourself doing all the work, all the time.

你工作起來總像只沒頭蒼蠅似的到處瞎忙。好像每天都有費神耗時的爛攤子要收拾，你無時無刻不在應付雜七雜八的任務。

Learn how to delegate and ask for help. It’s a little arrogant of you to think that you can do everything for everyone. Make it a point to rest and spend time on things that matter in life, not just work.

學著分配任務、尋求幫助吧。覺得自己能單槍匹馬包攬所有活計？太高估自己了！別只忙于工作，也要會休息，花時間做點真正有意義的事情。

You may have been praised a lot when you were a child, a teen, or a college student because of your high grades and other academic achievements. That’s great. Ego boosts now and then are healthy and needed. But strive for more than just accolades.

當你還是個孩子或?qū)W生時，因為考了高分或?qū)W業(yè)喜人，常常受人稱贊，確實很不錯。現(xiàn)在自我膨脹了，渴望更大了，但決不能僅僅流連于夸贊之辭啊。

If you truly want to be smart but find yourself guilty of the signs above, now’s the chance to make a change. Be a smarter, better version of you.

如果你愧然發(fā)現(xiàn)自己也有以上表現(xiàn)，但你又真心希望變得聰明，那么，現(xiàn)在就抓住機會去改變吧。做更聰明、更美好的自己！
