1. Mistakes while learning
学习的时候犯错
There will be times when you have people above you (a boss) or even next to you (a coworker) that will get really irritated with you for "ruining" something "crucial". Errors are bound to happen when you have on your training wheels. Even if you make mistakes and get a slap on the wrist, persevere and push on. You do not need to be embarrassed for learning from your mistakes.
有时候，你的上级甚至是你的同事会因为你把某件重要的事情搞砸了冲你发火。学习的时候犯错在所难免。即使犯错，会有惩罚也要坚持，不断向前进。你不需要为学习中犯的错而觉得不好意思。
2. Food choices
选择食物
People are different and have different taste buds. Whether it is healthy or not, food is a choice and it is a part of life. It is simply a personal choice that people make for their own reasons. You do not need to be embarrassed for food you do or do not like. Tell them, "It is a personal choice I have made, and I am committed to it."
青菜萝卜各有所爱。不管健康与否，食物都是一种选择，是生活的一部分。那只是别人根据自己的理由做出的个人选择。你不需要因为自己的口味而觉得不好意思。告诉他们，“那是我自己的个人选择，我就是要这些。”
3. Your past
你的过去
Allowing positive experiences to define, confine, refine, and outshine you may cause you to be caught up in the past and unable to truly live in the present. Whether your history is positive, negative, or somewhere in between, don't hone in on the negative experiences and let it reflect your current behavior.
让有积极意义的体验来定义、限制、提升、凸显你自己，你可能会因此陷入过去的泥淖，无法活在当下。无论你的过去是积极乐观的、消极抑郁的，或是介于两者之间，不要沉浸在过去不好的经历中，让它影响你现在的行为。
4. The cleanliness of your car/home/work space
汽车/家/工作场所的整洁度
When everyone gets in the car, you realize your Starbucks bag are still on the floor. So what? Think about it this way: everyone has a "messy" aspect of their life. Maybe their home is spotless, but the relationship with their spouse is messy. Someone's car gets washed once a week, but his/her work life could use some help. No one on Earth lives a perfectly "clean" life in every aspect. We don't apologize to others about our personal pitfalls. By being outwardly embarrassed, it only brings more attention to the fact!
当别人到你车里的时候，你才意识到星巴克的袋子还在里面。那又怎样？这样想：每个人在生活中都会有一个不太整洁的地方。也许他家纤尘不染，但是夫妻关系一团乱麻。有些人的车子每周清洁一次，但是他们的工作可能就需要别人的帮助。世上没人能在生活的各个方面都做到洁净无瑕。我们不必因为自己的缺陷向别人道歉。你表现出的尴尬只会更容易引起别人的注意。
5. Putting yourself first
把自己放在首位
If you find yourself saying no to something or making up lies to get out of it, tell them the truth, and don't apologize. You will feel much better in the long run if you are honest with them and yourself. If you're not up to a voluntary obligation, you don't have to be. You can politely deny the person's request. It is okay to be selfish from time to time. Put yourself first.
如果你发现你想拒绝某件事或者说谎来摆脱，那就说出事实，你不必因此而觉得抱歉。对别人诚实，也终于内心，长期以后你会觉得这种感觉很不错。如果不是意定义务，你大可不必。你可以礼貌地拒绝对方的请求。有时候自私也没什么。把自己放在第一位。
