2.Life Will Never Be Perfect
2.生活并不完美
If you are waiting for the "right" time to do something
如果你還在等待“最佳時(shí)機(jī)”去做某事
pursue self-employment, begin a fitness plan, pe into the dating pool, or move to a new town
諸如創(chuàng)業(yè)、健身、戀愛或搬去新城市，
you're going to be waiting forever.
那你也只能這么等待下去了。
There is no such thing as a "right" time to do anything.
世上根本就沒有所謂的“最佳時(shí)機(jī)”。
This reaction is based on your fear-of-change, plain and simple.
你之所以這么想，完全是因?yàn)樽约汉ε赂淖?，只想簡單舒服混日子罷了。

5.Just Because You're "Busy" Doesn't Mean You're Accomplishing Something

If you like to brag about how great you are at multitasking, stop it, because you are only kidding yourself.
如果你喜歡吹噓自己多么擅長同時(shí)處理多項(xiàng)任務(wù)，那還是算了吧，別自欺欺人了。
Changing tasks without rhyme or reason is wasting your productivity, stressing you out,

Being "busy" does not guarantee that you are doing something useful
“忙忙碌碌”并不表示你在有效做事，
(it probably means you are doing a lot of things badly).
或許你只是在焦頭爛額地斡旋于多個(gè)事情中罷了。
