英语美文欣赏：改变你前途的20个小行为(8)

　　Instead, focus on a single task. Move on when it's finished.

　　集中精力做一项工作，完成一项再做另一项。

　　20. Wait before you buy

　　20.不要急于购买

　　Often we think we need something, but it ends up in the basement – unused. Before you buy something, wait a month. If you still believe it to be useful, then you can but it. Understand that every time you purchase something, the cost is more than just monetary. You are taking on this item. You must put it somewhere, you must protect it, and you must maintain it.

　　我们常常认为某种东西很符合我们的需要，但最后这些东西被抛弃在了地下室里。购买前，等一个月。如果你仍认为它很有用，就买下它。要知道，每次买东西，代价不仅仅是金钱。你还要承担责任，必须把它放置好，保护好，维护好。
