2012年我们犯下的12个错误，明年一定不犯了（双语）

8. You let the same people drain you over and over again.

让同样的人一次又一次地榨干你。

People inspire you, or they drain you; choose them wisely. Don’t lose your dignity and self-respect trying to make someone accept, love and appreciate you when they have proven that they are incapable of doing so. If someone or something in life is meant for you, you will still have to work for it, but you won’t have to beg for it. You will never have to sacrifice your dignity for your destiny.

有的人能激励你，有的人能榨干你;要聪明地进行选择。在想让他人接受、爱或欣赏你时，不要丢掉自己的自尊、自敬，因为有些人无论你怎么做，他们都不会改变对你的态度。如果有些人或有些事对你来说很重要，你仍要去争取，但是不能去乞求。永远也不要牺牲自己的尊严来换取命运。

9. You set unrealistic expectations.

你设立了不现实的期望。

There are always two ways to be happier: improve your reality, or lower your expectations. We’re wired to expect the world to be brighter and more meaningful and more obviously interesting than it actually is. And when we realize that it isn’t, we start looking around for the real world. But this is the real world, and it’s actually a beautiful place to be. We are our own worst enemies for expecting otherwise. If you can learn to stop expecting impossible perfection, in yourself, others and the world around you, you may find the happiness that has always eluded you.
