Stop Taking Everything Personally

 

别把每件事太往心里去

 

People get offended about the strangest things.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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。
