奥巴马给女儿的信

这是一封细致入微的家书，非常感人，美国前总统奥巴马写给女儿的信亲切、自然、朴实、没有大话、套话，说的全是家常，每一条建议都可以做得到，每一条都有益，行文的语气没有作为父亲或者总统的谆谆教导。从"不在外面吃饭"这类小事，到"这个世界是一个完全由大家分享的世界，你所做的每件事都会影响到别人 "这类普世价值观，奥巴马都说得贴切，自然，优美。希望能够对你有所裨益。Life is short. It may feel like it takes forever sometimes, but the reality is thatyou live, and a short time later, you die.

Thinkabout how you make other people feel-even if you have good intentions,people don't like hearing negativity.现在你不要再怀疑自己了，也别再怀疑身边的人。你不希望被人对你挑剔，那么也不要再去挑剔身边的人。想想你给别人带来的什么样的感受吧---即使出发点是好的，别人也不想听到那么多消极的事情呀。3停止拖延Stop ProcrastinatingI don't feel like procrastinating right now-I'll do it tomorrow.
