11. Stop interrupting

11.善于倾听

Let people finish their sentence. You aren’t in such a hurry that you need to interrupt. Let people speak. You might learn something.

让他人把话说完。你不是那样急切，非打断别人不可。倾听别人，你可能会从中汲取知识。

12. Live in the moment

12.活在当下

The past is yesterday and the future is later. The present is the only time we are truly living. So instead of analyzing the past or worrying about the future, live in the moment.

过去的已过去，未来不可知。现在才是我们真正拥有的。不要在分析过去，担心未来中消耗自己，活在当下。

13. Forget goals

13.忘记目标

Goals look nice on paper. They provide order to your life. They aren’t necessarily counter-productive – people have done great things using goals. However, I think they’re useless. Instead of focusing on a goal, focus on the moment. Do things that you love, and do things well right now. This will get you farther than an arbitrary thing that you can check off.

写着纸上的目标看上去不错，但它们会左右你的生活。这些目标也不是必然起反作用——人们在目标的引导下做了很多伟大的事情。然而，我想它们没有什么用。把注意力从目标转移到此时此刻。行动起来，做喜欢的事，做好每一件事。

14. Focus on what’s important

14.关注重要的事情

Too often, I used to let the little things get in the way. Now I forget the trivial and focus on what’s important. What is important? It’s up to you. Family, writing, reading, and playing soccer are all important to me. I clear away distractions and do the important things.

过去，我常常因小事情而心烦意乱。现在，我忘记琐事，只关注重要的事情。什么是重要事情呢？这全在于你。家庭、写作、阅读、踢足球对我都很重要。我排除干扰，做重要的事。

15. Change things up

15.不要总做同一件事

A routine can make you a zombie. Instead, change things. Often you will find that a change makes things more exciting.

一成不变会使你变得木讷呆板。不要一直做同一件事，你常常会发现工作并不是那么枯燥。

Don’t be afraid to change things up.

不要害怕做出改变。
