Stop Taking Everything Personally

别把每件事太往心里去

People get offended about the strangest things.

人们会因为一些奇怪的事情感到被侵犯。

Take Kendrick Lamar's now-infamous verse on "Control" this summer: he called out a list of a dozen rappers he thinks he's better than (and he's right). The internet went crazy, and rappers all over the industry rushed to their mics to record a response.

就拿Kendrick Lamar这个夏天备受争议的歌曲《Control》为例:他在歌词中挑衅了一些他认为比他弱的说唱歌手(的确是这样),一石激起千层浪,整个说唱界的歌手都蜂拥录歌作为回击。

The thing is, all K-Dot said is he's the best rapper. Everyone took it personally, and that's exactly what he was going for.

重点在于,所有的人都认为自己是最好的说唱者,每个人都更看重自己,这就是他的目的所在。

The lesson to learn from this is that not everything is about you, and if you're easily upset, someone will use that to their advantage。

这件事教给我们的无非就是不是所有的事都要围着你转,如果你是玻璃心,有人会利用这一点。
