Steps
步骤
STEP 1 Relax
1.放松
Relax! It’s perfectly normal to feel resentment toward other people, whether it’s a Hollywood star you don’t even know or a sibling you love.
放松！对他们感觉到愤恨情绪是正常的，无论是你根本不认识的好莱坞明星还是你喜爱的姐妹。
STEP 2 Set your own standards
2.设立自己的标准
Set your own standards for success. Who cares that your sister is an accomplished black belt? You can be an accomplished pacifist.
为自己设立成功的标准。谁在乎你的姐妹是一名功成名就的黑带高手？你可以成为一名卓著的反战论者。
STEP 3 Recognize your talents
3.确认你的天赋
Recognize your own talents. If you take the time to think about it, there are probably tons of things you can do better than your sibling. Go ahead, make a list. (And, yes, air guitar counts.)
确认你自己的天赋。如果你花时间思考一下，可能会有许多事情你比你的姐妹更擅长。列出一张表格。（是的，无形吉他也算数。）
When your sibling succeeds at something, congratulate her (even if you feel like you’re going to vomit). The more you do it, the easier it will become. Eventually, you may find you actually mean it.
当你的兄弟姐妹在某个方面取得成功的时候，祝贺她（即使你觉得自己想要呕吐。）做得越多，就越容易。最终，你会发现自己真心实意地祝福她。
STEP 4 Find something in common
4.寻找共同点
Find a hobby you can share where there’s no competition involved. Bird watching, anyone?
寻找可以和她分享又不需竞争的爱好。比如看鸟。
When your sibling tries to bait you, don’t play along. For example, stop engaging in tiresome debates about whom Mom loves best.
当你的姐妹试图挑衅你，钓你上钩的时候，不要接招。例如，不要争论母亲最爱谁这种没营养的话题。
STEP 5 Give yourself credit
5.给自己记分
Give yourself credit for handling sibling rivalry as well as you have. After all, the same can’t be said of Cain and Abel.
为自己成功地解决姐妹的问题记分。毕竟，该隐和阿贝尔不可相提并论。
On personality tests, first-born siblings tend to be more responsible, but later-born siblings score higher on being agreeable.
在性格测试中，先出生的姐姐通常更有责任感，而后出生的妹妹在令人愉快方面得分更高。
