The Flatterer
拍马屁的人
Whether its the friend who tells you how smart you are and how much shed appreciate your help on a volunteer project shes working on, or the school mom who insists that the students will be so disappointed if you dont make your special cupcakes for the class holiday party, the flatterer plays to your vanity by making you feel indispensable。
你的朋友或许会夸奖你有多聪明,并声称如果你帮她完成一个志愿项目的话,她会心怀感激;老师或许会说如果你不为班级的周末派对做蛋糕的话,学生们会十分失望。不管何种情形,拍马屁的人会以迎合你的虚荣心的方式,让你觉得自己无可替代。
Reality check: If you want to help out because it gives you pleasure, fine, but no one is irreplaceable.

审视现实:如果你因为可以从中得到快乐而答应帮忙,这当然无可厚非。但你必须知道,没有人无可替代。又不是动脑手术,其他人也能做--或许别人没你那么活力四射,但事情还是能完成,并且这个过程中,宇宙也不会爆炸著有《250种方法说不》的苏珊纽曼博士如是说,别老是想着讨好别人。
