加拿大教授皮特森的新书 “生活的12个法则”成了北美最畅销书。这12个法则包括：

1. Stand Up Straight

挺直腰杆

有攻击性是好事。

Abusive people prey on the weak and naive.

Aggression Can Be Good

 

2. Treat Yourself Well

善待自己。

 

3. Befriend People Who Want The Best For You

只和善待你的人交朋友。

 

4. Compare Yourself To Your Yesterday’s Self

和昨天的你比。

 

5. Do Not Let Your Children Do Anything That Makes You Dislike Them

别让你的孩子欺负你。

 

6. Set Your House In Order

先管好你自己的事情

 

Set your house in order means to work on yourself before you think about anything else

means to focus on what you can change and what you can do, instead than wasting time on everything that’s wrong.

 

7. Pursue What Is Meaningful, Not What Is Expedient

吃得苦中苦，方为人上人。

 

Today’s sacrifice will forge your character and provide tomorrow’s reward.

 

8. Tell The Truth. Or At Least Don’t Lie

说真话，至少不要撒谎。

Lying is a betrayal of yourself and it weakens your character. Especially when you say yes but really wanted to say no.

9. Assume The Person You Are Listening To Knows Something You Don’t

兼听则明

10. Be Precise In Your Speech

别说废话

11. Do Not Bother Children While They Are Skateboarding

让儿童探讨

 

12. Pet A Cat When You Encounter One In The Street
