Focus on What You Can Control.
Many things in life are completely out of your hands. Focus on what you can control. It's like steering your own ship in the ocean of life. It's putting your energy where it really counts and can make a difference, instead of worrying about the waves you can't calm. Try this: make a list of things that worry you and divide them into two categories—things you can control and things you can't. For example, you can't control the traffic on an important day, but you can control how early you leave. Likewise, you can't control the outcome in the university admissions process, but you can control the amount of effort you make before applying to college. Whenever you find yourself anxious because of stress, look at your list and ask, "Is this something I can change?" If yes, work on it; if not, let it be. This helps you focus on the actions that truly matter and teaches you to let go of unnecessary worries. Remember, where focus goes, energy flows. Keep steering your ship wisely!

专注在你所能控制的事
生活中有许多事情是完全不在你的控制范围内。专注于你能控制的事 物，就像在人生的海洋上驾驶自己的船。它是你投入精力真正重要的地 方并能带来改变，而不是担心你所无法平息的海浪。试著这么做：列出 让你感到担忧的事情，并将它们分为两类──你能控制的事和不能控制 的事。例如，你无法控制重要日子里的交通情形，但可以控制自己多早 出发。同样，你无法控制大学申请的结果，但可以控制自己在申请大学 之前所做的努力。每当你因为压力而感到焦虑时，看看清单并问自己： 「这是不是我可以改变的事？」如果是，那就著手去改；如果不是，那 就顺其自然吧。这样可以帮助你专注于真正重要的行动，并教会你放下 不必要的担忧。记住，你的专注在哪里，你的精力就用在哪里。继续明 智地驾驶你的船吧！
