Don't make decisions for other people. That will just take the focus away from your life. Let others find their own way. Support them. Encourage them. Cheer them on. But don't think you know what's good for them. You don't know.  对别人负起不必要的责任时，你就是过度膨胀自己，反会削弱了自己，千万别这样做。你只需照料自己的生活，作自己的决定，把注意力放在你该注意的地方，聆听你的内在导引，尊重它，依它而行，全力以赴, 那已经够你忙一辈子了。
When you take inappropriate responsibility for others, you overextend and weaken yourself. Don't do that. Stay in your own life and make your own decisions. Put your attention where it belongs. Listen to your guidance, honor it, act on it, and be committed to it. That is a full time job.
