Costing habits

浪費錢的小習慣

You may not realize it, but some things you do habitually can make you lose money. Let’s see what those costing habits are and how we can reverse them.

也許你都沒意識到，一些習慣性的事情也會不知不覺浪費錢呢。我們來看看一些浪費錢的小習慣，學習如何去改正吧。

You are a chronic complainer

你是個負能量的抱怨者

If you always see the bad side, then you might not see the opportunities around you. When you miss opportunities, you inevitably lose money.

如果總是看到壞的那一面，那么就會失去很多機會，一旦機會都失去了，錢肯定就賺不到啦。

For example, if you are too busy complaining to yourself about how your co-worker sucks, you might not think that you would be a great fit for that new project that just came out. Yes, the one that would boost your resume and possibly lead to a promotion. Opportunity lost.

比如你一直都抱怨同事們多么的沒用，也許就想不到其實自己非常適合新項目。對，就是那個能展現你實力帶來升職機會的新項目。可惜沒咯。
