How to avoid common life mistakes?
1. Don’t do things you don’t like
Whenever you do things you don’t like, you will start to hate yourself a bit more. You will hate yourself for not being consistent. For doing things you know that you don’t want to do, another stress is right there.
2. Do less
This is one of the hardest things, especially for me. I’m doing too many things at the same time. In itself, doing many different things to figure out what works and what doesn’t isn’t that had. It’s actually quite good. But at some point you need to let go of the things that don’t work and focus on the things that work. And that’s the hardest part, at least for me. I always try to make everything work. And if you always try to make everything work, you’ll usually end up with nothing working at all.
3. Get rid of complicated things
There are many complicated things in life. Complicated relationships, complicated jobs, complicated whatever. What all of these things do is that they steal our focus.
They add an additional stress layer to our lives and take over some of our brain’s bandwidth（带宽；频宽）. We desperately need to navigate（驾驶）bandwidth in this crazy and complex world.
4. Read books, not blogs
Blogs consist of too much information for our brains to process. Blogs usually leave out the story our brains need. Our brains need a story to remember things.
Don’t believe me? Try it. What parts of this blog post do you remember? Probably none. All that blogs do is that they clutter（拥塞）our brains with useless information we forget immediately after we read them. A waste of time.
There are a number of personal traits which all of us should develop in our earlier life.
21. Young people will hate themselves when ________.
A. they avoid doing things they dislike B. their stress level is high
C. they know what they dislike doing D. their actions conflict with their ideas
22. What is the writer’s viewpoint on complicated things?
A. They cause little stress to young people’s lives.
B. Young people can’t focus on their business without them.
C. They have a great influence on young people’s lives.
D. Young people needn’t do what they want to do.
23. The writer thinks reading blogs ________.
A. is not a waste of time
B. prevents us from getting stories we need
C. is a great way to access useful information
D. does not fill our brain in a messy way
