If you find yourself thinking that's just the way it is or everyone knows that, try questioning your assumptions.

如果有一天，当你发现这不过是人尽皆知的营销把戏，那么你很有必要质疑一下自己最初的想法了。

Is it really better to buy a house, or would you be just as happy renting?

买房一定比租房更好么？

Will that new gadget/TV/game really enhance your life?

那个新到手的小玩意儿真的可以提升你的生活质量么？

Do you need a new car?

你是否真的需要一辆新车？

Do you and your spouse really want to have a pricey meal out on Valentines' day, or are you both just doing it because you feel like you should?

情人节当天，与爱侣一起外出共享一顿豪华晚餐究竟是出于甜蜜的愿望，还是你们都觉得只不过“应该”那么做而已呢？

Some of society's goals and priorities might well be in tune with your own. Others won't.

有些社会价值观或潮流取向是与你的生活目标合拍的，而另一些并非如此。

How to Change: Don't be afraid to be different! There are plenty of ways you can challenge the assumptions of society – that might mean living frugally, homeschooling your kids, avoiding designer labels, or whatever else you want to do.

应对攻略：别害怕成为“另类”！如果你发现自己并不认同某些社会惯例做法，你完全可以用自己的方式去生活。勤劳节俭地生活、在家个性化育儿、拒绝做名牌的奴隶，不怕做不到，就怕你想不到。
