1. Stop using the word "just" to describe yourself. Oprah says: "Stop saying that." I can’t tell you how often I tell people that I’m "just" a yoga teacher, "just" a blogger, "just" an artist. I’ve been delving into my motivation for doing this — maybe I want to make certain that everyone else knows that I know I’m nothing special before they can size me up and judge me. And sometimes I think I use this phrase to lessen my accountability in certain situations. If I’m "just" an artist, how can I be expected to be smart with money, for instance? I also think I use it, subconsciously, to decrease my importance in the eyes of others. Whatever my excuses, I need to suck it up and cut the word from my identity once and for all.
不要用“只是”來修飾自己。奧普拉這樣說到：“我經(jīng)常聽到別人這樣介紹自己，我只是一個瑜伽教練，只是一個撰寫博客的人，只是一名搞藝術(shù)的人。我一直在自己的領(lǐng)域?qū)Ｐ难芯俊苍S我們這樣說只是希望別人在評價我們的時候可以把我們當(dāng)成一個平凡的不能再平凡的人，這樣我們就不必去承擔(dān)一定要去做更好的壓力，因為我們只是一個平凡的人。不管你的借口是什么，不要使用'just'這個詞”。
