2. Let go of things you don't control
2.放開你不能控制的事情
You make plans to go outside with friends. But at the last minute, it starts raining. What's your reaction?
你可朋友計劃好外出,但是最后關頭下雨了,這時你會怎么想?
Some people upset and angry, and find the nearest person and start complaining to them. “It's not FAIR that it's raining. This _always_ happens to me!…”
有些人會因此而失望、憤怒,然后跟周圍的人抱怨:這不公平,為什么這種事總是讓我遇到!
That's not going to accomplish anything - the rain won't stop just because you throw a tantrum. *The rain doesn't care.* So make the best of the situation. What I do in such situation is go for a quick walk in the park (because rain has its own awesomeness), or just lie in bed reading a good Terry Pratchett book, listening to the rain beating on my window.
沒什么可抱怨的,雨不會因為你抱怨而停止,老天才不在乎。這種情況下我會到公園里散步(因為雨也很有魅力),或者躺在床上一邊讀Terry Pratchett的書,一邊聽著雨水打在窗戶上的聲音。
Make the most of what you do control, and don't worry about what you don't.
將你能掌控的事情做到最好,但也不用太在意不能左右的事情。
