生活随笔：不要和那些消极的人浪费时间

Recently, I caught myself wasting time dealing with a negative person.

I’m not talking about a web troll or the like. It was actually a business associate who was caught making negative comments behind others’ backs.

Do you have to deal with a negative person that takes up too much of your day?

最近，我发现我在和一些思想消极的人浪费时间。

我说的不是网络或者是类似的问题。实际上指的就是那些说丧气话的人。

你遇到过类似这样会占据你很多时间的人吗?

You don’t have time for negative people in your life.

一生中没有多少时间可以浪费在这些人身上。

Negative People are a Negative Impact

消极的人会带来消极的影响

And the worst part of the episode was the individual in question got what they wanted… a reaction.

最早的部分就是那些人得到了他们想要的---一个反应。

Don’t Let the Critics Steal Your Time

不要让批评占据你的时间

They don’t have anything positive to contribute. They just want to complain. In fact, their greatest pleasure is not in their accomplishments, but in minimizing those of others.

消极的人没有任何有积极意义的贡献。他们只是想抱怨。实际上他们最大的乐趣不是他们取得多大的成就，而是将别人的成就减到最小。

Negative people don’t have anything positive to contribute. Don’t let them waste your time.

消极的人没有任何有积极意义的贡献，所以不要让他们浪费你的时间。

“The best way to deal with negative people is not to deal with them.”

“应对思想消极的人的最好方法就是不和他们打交道。”

It’s best to let them go on their way.

最好就是让他们走他们自己的路。

Don’t let them have your time, attention, or energy.

不要让他们浪费你的时间、注意力和精力。

Here are just a few of the Negative People You Don’t Have Time For:

这里有一些你不必和他们浪费时间的类型：

·Naysayers – The naysayers are a dangerous lot because they want to destroy your dreams before they even begin. They will tell you what you can’t do and what can’t be done. The truth is that they can’t or won’t do, so they don’t want you to succeed either.

·总是投反对票的人---这类人是相当危险的。因为他们在你开始追梦之前就想让你的梦想破灭。他们会告诉你哪些事情不能做，哪些事情不应该让其发生。实际上就是他们做不到或是不会做的，所以他们也不想让你成功。

·Complainers – The complainers spend more time complaining than?doing. They aren’t where they should be because of someone else. The rules aren’t fair. There is always an excuse.

·爱抱怨的人--爱抱怨的人会很多时间来抱怨而不是干实事。因为别人的关系所以他们总不在他们应该在的地方，这根本就是不公平的，因为总有那么多的借口。

·Bullies – If you think bullying ends in school, you are mistaken. Some people in the workplace enjoy nothing more than abusing others. Of course, just as on the playground, bullies fold when someone finally stands up to them.

·恶霸---如果你认为学校是恶霸的终结地，那你就错了。有些人在工作的地方也只喜欢辱骂别人。当然，在外面的时候只要有人愿意站出来恶霸就要吃亏了。

·Critics – Critics just love to tear down others and their efforts. They sit on the sidelines pointing out all the flaws they can see… real or not.

·吹毛求疵的人---喜欢批评别人的人喜欢毁掉自己和别人的努力成果。不管如何他们都喜欢坐在旁边挑别人的毛病。

·Caustic People – These are some of the most toxic people you will encounter. They never have anything nice to say, but always manage to say something negative.

·刻薄的人---这类人会是你遇到的最没营养的人。他们从不说好话总是想着说些消极的话。
