Your friend landed his dream job and you feel stuck in a rut. Your friend scored a hot date with Mr. Perfect and you feel down and depressed. Jealousy is a nasty feeling that can take hold of our thoughts without warning. If a friend achieves something you aspire to do, channel that jealous feeling into an “if they did it, I can too” attitude.

你朋友找到自己梦寐以求的工作，你觉得有点不爽。你朋友跟完美先生爱的死去活来，你感到低落和压力。嫉妒是一种糟糕的感受，会在不知不觉中占据我们的思想。如果有朋友做到了你也想做的事情，不如把态度转变成：他们都能做到，那我也可以吧。

9. Speak the truth (even if it hurts).

说实话（哪怕有点伤人）。

“The truth is rarely pure and never simple.”——Oscar Wilde

“真相很少会纯洁简单。”——奥斯卡·王尔德

Have you ever watched a friend damage her self-esteem by staying in an emotionally abusive relationship? I have, and it hurts more than words can express. Confronting a person about an inconvenient truth isn’t easy, but sometimes it needs to be done. If you have something to say and can’t find the nerves to do it, ask yourself, “How would I feel if it was me making a very bad decision and my friend said nothing about it?” While speaking out doesn’t guarantee you’ll change their mind, staying silent does guarantee you’ll regret not speaking up sooner.
