Stay away from toxic people

We are surrounded by all types of people. While no two individuals are the same, sadly, there are way too many people that can be classified as toxic. Even minimal interaction with toxic people can have a huge impact on performance and happiness. So, what can you do about it? Simple, just try to stay away from these types of negative people, as much as you can! 

我们被各种各样的人包围着，虽然人各有不同，但是有太多的人可以被归类为“有毒的”。即使与有毒的人进行最小程度的互动，也会让你的幸福感大大降低。那么，你能做些什么呢？一句话，尽量远离这些消极的人！ 

Number 1 - Judgmental 

第一，喜欢给出负面评价的人

Everyone has flaws, and when someone points them out, it can help you improve yourself. However, you should be able to recognize the difference between a person who expresses their concerns honestly and in a constructive manner, and those who use your weaknesses as an opportunity to attack you. If you know someone who is quick to point out and criticize your mistakes, but never seems to recognize your accomplishments, they’re the type of toxic person who is likely to eventually wear you down. 

每个人都有缺点，当有人帮你指出时，它可以帮助你提高自己。然而，你应该能够认识到，“善意的提醒”和“恶意的攻击”是有本质区别的。如果一个人很轻易就指出并批评你的错误，但却从未认可你的成就，那么他们就是那种最终会让你精疲力竭的人。

Number 2 - Envious 

第二，嫉妒心强的人

To envious people, the grass is always greener somewhere else. Even when something great happens to them, they don’t derive any satisfaction from it. This is because they measure their fortune against other people’s. And let’s face it, there’s always someone out there who’s doing better. Spending too much time around envious people is dangerous, because they teach you to trivialize your own accomplishments. 

对于这部分人来说，别人家的草总是更加绿一些。即使发生了什么好事，他们也不会从中得到任何满足。这是因为，他们总是用别人的财富标准来衡量自己的财富。但现实是，总会有人比我们做得更好。跟喜欢嫉妒的人做朋友，是非常危险的，因为他们也会教你，把自己的成就看得微不足道。
