1. Stop using the word "just" to describe yourself. Oprah says: "Stop saying that." I can’t tell you how often I tell people that I’m "just" a yoga teacher, "just" a blogger, "just" an artist. I’ve been delving into my motivation for doing this — maybe I want to make certain that everyone else knows that I know I’m nothing special before they can size me up and judge me. And sometimes I think I use this phrase to lessen my accountability in certain situations. If I’m "just" an artist, how can I be expected to be smart with money, for instance? I also think I use it, subconsciously, to decrease my importance in the eyes of others. Whatever my excuses, I need to suck it up and cut the word from my identity once and for all.
不要用“只是”来修饰自己。奥普拉这样说到：“我经常听到别人这样介绍自己，我只是一个瑜伽教练，只是一个撰写博客的人，只是一名搞艺术的人。我一直在自己的领域专心研究——也许我们这样说只是希望别人在评价我们的时候可以把我们当成一个平凡的不能再平凡的人，这样我们就不必去承担一定要去做更好的压力，因为我们只是一个平凡的人。不管你的借口是什么，不要使用'just'这个词”。
