1. 不要把自己和別人比較
everybody, and i mean everybody, starts out in a different place and is headed on their own journey. you have no idea where someone else's journey might lead them, so drawing comparisons is a complete waste of time.
每個人，我的意思是每個人都在不同的地方啟程，開始自己的旅途。你不知道別人的旅程會通向何方，所以比較完全是浪費時間。
2. never obsess over things you cannot control.
2. 不要迷戀你無法控制的事情
while it's often important to know about other things--like the economy, the markets that you sell to, the actions that others might take, your focus should remain on what you actually control, which is 1) your own thoughts and 2) your own actions.
雖然瞭解其他事情很重要——比如經濟形勢、市場情況、他人可能採取的`行動，但你的重點仍該放在自己能實際控制的事上，如1)自己的想法和2)自己的行動。
3. know and keep your personal limits and boundaries.
3. 瞭解並保持你個人的限制和界限
while your job might sometimes seem like the most important thing in your world, you're killing a part of yourself if you let work situations push you into places that violate your privacy and your integrity.
雖然你的工作有時似乎是全世界最重要的事，但如果你讓工作侵犯你的隱私和完整性，你將扼殺一部分自己。
4. remember you get the same amount of time every day as everyone else.
4. 要記住你和其他人一樣每天擁有同樣的時間
you may feel you're short on time and that you need more of it, but the simple truth is that when the day started, you got your fair share: 24 hours. nobody got any more than you did, so stop complaining.
你可能會覺得時間不夠用，想要更多時間，但事實很簡單，一天開始時，你的時間份額是公平的：24小時。沒有人比你擁有的更多，所以別抱怨了。
5. don't take yourself so seriously.
5. 別把自己看得太重要
the ability to laugh at your foibles not only makes you happier as a person, it makes you more powerful, more influential and more attractive to others. if you can't laugh at yourself, everyone else will be laughing behind your back.
能嘲笑自己弱點不僅會讓你更快樂，也會使你更強大、更有影響力、更吸引別人目光。如果你不能自嘲，其他人會在背後嘲笑你。
6. don't try to "win" every argument.
6. 不要試圖在每次爭論中都贏
some battles aren't worth fighting, and many people are easier to handle when they think they've won the argument. what's important isn't "winning," but what you, and the other people involved, plan to do next.
有些仗不值得打。要讓別人覺得在爭論中贏了，這樣他們就會更加容易相處。重要的不是“打贏”，而是你和其他人打算下一步做什麼。
7. remember that nobody is in charge of your happiness except you.
7. 請記住，沒有人能主宰你的快樂，除了你自己
while some work environments are difficult, if you're consistently miserable it's your fault. you owe it to yourself to either find a job that makes you happy or make the best of the job you've got.
雖然某些工作環境很艱難，但如果你一直不開心就是自己的原因了。你應該為自己找一份讓你快樂的工作或把工作變成得到的最好工作。
8. smile and laugh more frequently.
8. 更頻繁地微笑和大笑
contrary to popular belief, smiling and laughter are not the result of being happy; they're part of a cycle that both creates and reinforces happiness. find reasons to smile. never, ever suppress a laugh.
與流行的看法相反，微笑和大笑不是幸福的結果，它們是週期中的一部分，不僅建立而且鞏固了幸福。找到理由微笑。永遠不要抑制笑。
9. don't waste precious energy on malice and gossip.
9. 別在怨恨和八卦上浪費寶貴的精力
before you tell a story about anybody else, or listen to such a story, ask yourself four questions: 1) is it true? 2) is it kind? 3) is it necessary? and 4) would i want somebody telling a similar story about me?
在你說別人的故事或聽這樣的故事前，問自己四個問題：1)是真的嗎?2)這樣做好不好?3)是否有必要?4)我希望有人聊關於我的類似故事嗎?
10. don't worry what others think about you; it's none of your business.
10. 不要擔心別人怎麼想你，這跟你沒關係
you can't mind read and you don't have everyone else wired into a lie detector. truly, you really have no idea what anyone is really thinking about you. it's a total waste of time and energy to try.
你不會讀心術，也不能把每個人連到測謊儀上。老實說，你真的不知道別人怎麼想你。嘗試這麼做完全是在浪費時間和精力。
