Taming the Mammoth: Why You Should Stop Caring What Other People Think
驯服猛犸！不要再顾及别人对你的看法

By Tim Urban   

Part 1: Meet Your Mammoth

1：邂逅猛犸

The first day I was in second grade, I came to school and noticed that there was a new, very pretty girl in the class—someone who hadn’t been there the previous two years. Her name was Alana and within an hour, she was everything to me.
我上二年级第一天，注意到有个小美女来我们班了，她叫Alana，不到一小时她就征服了我。

When you’re seven, there aren’t really any actionable steps you can take when you’re in love with someone. You’re not even sure what you want from the situation. There’s just this amorphous

yearning

that’s a part of your life, and that’s that.
7岁爱上一个人不会想怎么去追她，甚至不知道自己想要什么了。这只是偶尔会想起的生命中的一部分，仅此而已。

But for me, it became suddenly

relevant

a few months later, when during

recess

one day, one of the girls in the class started asking each of the boys, “Who do youuu want to marry?” When she asked me, it was a no-brainer. “Alana.”
但是几个月后，这件事又突然被提起。有一天放假，一个女孩把我们男生问了个遍：“你想和谁结婚？”问到我的时候我脱口而出：“Alana”。

Disaster.
哇哦。
