改掉十个单词提高幸福指数

6. Can’t

不能

Enough of obligation words, limiting words are even more dangerous. How many times do we say “I can’t” when it’s not really true? “I can’t write well.” Maybe you don’t write well right now, but you can if you put your mind to it. If you wanted to, you could practice and learn and gain new skills. So how about “I’m not that great at writing yet?” “Can’t” closes a door. You can stick your foot in that door and prop it open by choosing other words.

说了这么多义务性的词汇，其实限制性词汇更恐怖。当事实根本不是那样时，我们说了多少次“我不能”？“我写不出漂亮的字迹”，或许你现在写不出，之后你下定决心纠正就可以了呢？如果你想改善，你可以练习写字，学习新技巧。“我不擅长写字”这样是不是好点呢？“不能”使你将机会拒之门外。其实你可以使用其他的词汇，将那扇门打开。

7. Impossible

不可能

“It’s impossible for me to be a professional athlete; I’m just naturally clumsy.” You know what? I’ve seen a one-legged man compete in a Dance Dance tournament — and win. Nothing is impossible, it just takes time, practice, and dedication. Talent is completely irrelevant in the face of determination. How about “It’s possible for me to be a professional athlete if I want to put in the time and effort.”
