孩提時(shí)代學(xué)到的這些東西現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)過(guò)時(shí)了

1. 像個(gè)男人

Plenty of dads and coaches passed on this insight tothe boys in their charge, urging them to toughen upand push through something that was botheringthem. Setting aside the sexist connotations of thisstatement today, it's become clear that ignoringworries or concerns can just create greater anxietyand even do long-term damage.

很多父親和教練都會(huì)將這一見(jiàn)解傳遞給自己負(fù)責(zé)的男孩兒，敦促他們變得堅(jiān)強(qiáng)、努力完成讓他們覺(jué)得困惑的事情。拋開(kāi)這一觀點(diǎn)的性別歧視內(nèi)涵，顯而易見(jiàn)的是，忽視擔(dān)憂和擔(dān)心會(huì)帶來(lái)更大的焦慮、甚至?xí)?lái)長(zhǎng)期傷害。

2. DON'T SPEAK UNTIL SPOKEN TO

2. 別人沒(méi)和你說(shuō)話前不要講話

Any kids growing up in the last century probably heard this bit of advice. While kids used to bethe last thing anyone wanted to hear from, in this era-where it's become the norm to urgekids to explore every possible interest and express themselves as they like-such aphorismsdon't come up too much anymore.

上個(gè)世紀(jì)長(zhǎng)大的孩子可能聽(tīng)過(guò)這條建議。雖然人們最不愿聽(tīng)到孩子說(shuō)話，但在今天這個(gè)時(shí)代--敦促孩子探索每一個(gè)可能的興趣、盡可能的表達(dá)自己已成為常態(tài)--所以這句格言就沒(méi)那么必要了。

3. EARLY TO BED, EARLY TO RISE

3. 早睡早起

Ben Franklin's classic advice for how to become "healthy, wealthy, and wise" has become a bitoutdated in this era of remote working, flex schedules, and "being your own boss." After all, in 2018, success is less likely to be seen as the result of the schedule you keep than what youactually produce.

本·富蘭克林對(duì)于如何變得"健康、富有和聰慧"的這條經(jīng)典建議在遠(yuǎn)程辦公、彈性時(shí)間和"成為自己的老板"的這一時(shí)代已經(jīng)有些過(guò)時(shí)了。畢竟在2018年，人們不太可能認(rèn)為成功是因?yàn)槟沣∈匾?guī)律的睡眠時(shí)間，更有可能認(rèn)為成功是你真正努力得來(lái)的。

5. DON'T EAT BEFORE YOU SWIM

5. 游泳前別吃東西

For decades, pool parties usually included the warning that anyone eating hot dogs and pizzashould wait 30 minutes before swimming, whether because it could cause cramps or limit theamount of blood flowing to the swimmer's limbs. The science behind this has proven dubious, at best, and while overeating is probably not a great idea before diving into the water, there'slittle need to wait 30 minutes before taking a dip.

幾十年來(lái)，泳池派對(duì)都有這樣一個(gè)警告：吃了熱狗和披薩的人必須等30分鐘才能下水，不管是因?yàn)闀?huì)導(dǎo)致抽筋還是限制游泳者四周的血液流動(dòng)。這條建議的科學(xué)原因也令人半信半疑，充其量，吃多了之后可能不太適合跳水，但下水前等30分鐘就沒(méi)那么必要了。

6. DRINKING COFFEE WILL STUNT YOUR GROWTH

6. 喝咖啡會(huì)不長(zhǎng)個(gè)

Many kids were kept from drinking their parents' coffee with this piece of insight. In fact, coffee drinking has been found to have no actual impact on one's development. However, waytoo much coffee is something else altogether.

正因?yàn)檫@一點(diǎn)，很多父母都不準(zhǔn)小孩兒喝咖啡。事實(shí)上，研究證明喝咖啡對(duì)一個(gè)人的成長(zhǎng)發(fā)育并沒(méi)有實(shí)質(zhì)性影響。但喝太多咖啡就是另一回事了。

7. IT'S A DOG-EAT-DOG WORLD

7. 這是一個(gè)自私自利的世界

Sure, things get competitive and the world of business can get cutthroat, but the idea of zero-sum, kill-or-be-killed aphorism is a bit old-fashioned. Getting ahead in the 21st century isn'tabout knocking out the other guy, it's about improving yourself.

當(dāng)然，這個(gè)世界存在競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，這個(gè)商業(yè)的世界也會(huì)爭(zhēng)得魚(yú)死網(wǎng)破，但這種零和的想法，殺或被殺的警句卻有點(diǎn)過(guò)時(shí)了。21世紀(jì)爭(zhēng)做出頭鳥(niǎo)并不是為了淘汰他人，而是為了提升自己。
