(单词翻译:单击)

本期内容:

Comparing yourself to someone else is never productive or positive. There's always going to be someone who is younger, prettier, smarter, or richer than you. If you keep coveting what someone else has, then this may cause you to be resentful of them, which will open a whole other negative can of worms. Remember, what they don't have is your whole package. Be appreciative of what you have, because if you want to play the comparison game, remember that there are people who are also worse off than you are.
参考译文:和别人比较永远不是有效率和积极的表现。总有比你年轻,漂亮,聪明,富有的人。如果你始终关注别人拥有什么,会带来你对他们的恨意,随即带来更多消极的想法。记住,你所拥有的也是他们所没有的。珍惜你所拥有的东西,如果真的想和别人比较,也别忘了总有比你差的人。
