21. Stop doing the same things over and over without taking a break.

　　不要总是不停地做同一件事，而忘记停下来思考一下。

　　The time to take a deep breath is when you don’t have time for it. If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting. Sometimes you need to distance yourself to see things clearly.

　　当你觉得自己忙不过来的时候，停下来做一下深呼吸。假如你继续做你一直再做的事，你只会不停地得到你早已得到的东西。有的时候，你需停下来，好让自己看得更清楚。

　　22. Stop overlooking the beauty of small moments.

　　不要低估了细微时刻的美妙之处。

　　Enjoy the little things, because one day you may look back and discover they were the big things. The best portion of your life will be the small, nameless moments you spend smiling with someone who matters to you.

　　欣赏那些微不足道的事，因为或许某天当你回望人生时，你会发现它们是无比重要的事。你人生中最美妙的组成部分便是由那些零零碎碎的片段串联而成的，一如你对某人投去的一抹微笑。

　　23. Stop trying to make things perfect.

　　不要事事追求完美。

　　The real world doesn't reward perfectionists, it rewards people who get things done.

　　现实世界不偏爱完美主义者，它只回报那些最终能够完成任务的人。

　　24. Stop following the path of least resistance.

　　不要总是走阻力最小的人生道路。

　　Life is not easy, especially when you plan on achieving something worthwhile. Don’t take the easy way out. Do something extraordinary.

　　人生不易，尤其是当你有一个伟大的梦想时候，你将来会遭遇到的困难会更大、更多。不要去做没有挑战性的事，去做些一鸣惊人的事吧。

　　25. Stop acting like everything is fine if it isn't.

　　不要假装一切都很顺利。

　　It's okay to fall apart for a little while. You don’t always have to pretend to be strong, and there is no need to constantly prove that everything is going well. You shouldn’t be concerned with what other people are thinking either – cry if you need to – it’s healthy to shed your tears. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to smile again.

　　挫败感或灰心丧气是很正常的一件事。你不必假装自己很坚强，而且你根本就没有必要向别人证明一切都如我所愿。你也不用太在意别人是怎么看待你。想哭就哭吧，流流泪也有益于健康。越快释放压抑的情绪，快乐就会越快降临。

　　26. Stop blaming others for your troubles.

　　不要将自己的麻烦归咎给别人。

　　The extent to which you can achieve your dreams depends on the extent to which you take responsibility for your life. When you blame others for what you’re going through, you deny responsibility – you give others power over that part of your life.

　　你是否能实现自己的梦想在很大程度上就取决于你是否对自己负责。当你把自己所面对困难都归咎于别人时，你也就是在逃避责任——不是别人而是你自己才能改变自己的人生。

　　27. Stop trying to be everything to everyone.

　　不要试图成为一个人的全部。

　　Doing so is impossible, and trying will only burn you out. But making one person smile CAN change the world. Maybe not the whole world, but their world. So narrow your focus.

　　这想法只会让你更筋疲力尽。但是，给你身边的人带去一点快乐确实能改变这个世界，即便无法让整个世界变得更美好，但你确实让那个人的世界变得更美好了。所以，把你的注意力都聚焦在你力所能及的地方。

　　28. Stop worrying so much.

　　不要忧虑重重。

　　Worry will not strip tomorrow of its burdens, it will strip today of its joy. One way to check if something is worth mulling over is to ask yourself this question: “Will this matter in one year’s time? Three years? Five years?” If not, then it’s not worth worrying about.

　　忧虑不会带走明天的负担，但它确能带走今天的快乐。而有些事情却是值得你去深思的，判断方法就是问自己：“这件事在1年后、3年后、5年后是否还有重要意义吗?”如果不是的话，你没有什么好忧虑的。

　　29.Stop focusing on what you don’t want to happen.

　　不要把注意力都放在不想要发生的事情上。

　　Focus on what you do want to happen. Positive thinking is at the forefront of every great success story. If you awake every morning with the thought that something wonderful will happen in your life today, and you pay close attention, you’ll often find that you’re right.

　　你应该把注意力放在你想要发生的事情上。积极思考总是出现在每一则成功故事的序幕里。如过你每天醒来时想的是美好的事情就会在今天发生的话，你就会发现事实就是如此。

　　30. Stop being ungrateful.

　　不要忘了感激你所拥有的一切。

　　No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs. Instead of thinking about what you’re missing, try thinking about what you have that everyone else is missing.

　　不论你人生际遇如何，每一天都要心怀感激醒来。在世界某处某些人还在为自己的命运无望地抗争着。所以，不要去想自己错过了什么，想想自己拥有哪些其他人没有的。

　　人的一生，总会有许多十字路口，向左，还是向右，迷茫的我们无从判断。这30件不值得我们去做的事，让自己在人生选择时知道该选择什么，放弃什么，不要再迷茫。
