13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do
Amy Morin
Who should read: All humans can benefit! Those in vet med need all the mental strength they could get!
Favorite quote: “People pleasing is about controlling other people’s feelings.”
This was a tough love kind of book. Mental strength is something I think we can all agree is a valuable thing, but why? What is mental strength? True to the book title, Ms. Morin tells us what it is not. Some of the bigger myths she dispels: Mental strength does not equal mental health. It is not another positive thinking strategy. It doesn’t require you to be entirely self-reliant. It does not involve ignoring your emotions. It isn’t about acting tough. It is something that can be developed and improved. Ms. Morin proposes that there are three factors that must be the focus of developing mental strength: Thoughts (replacing irrational thoughts with realistic thoughts), Behaviors (behaving positively regardless of circumstances), Emotions (mastering your emotions rather than allowing them to dictate your behavior).
She builds a case for working on mental strength by discussing the benefits, which include improved: resilience to stress (here’s looking at you veterinary staff member!), life satisfaction (looking at you harder), and performance (if the last two didn’t get you, how ‘bout this?!). Within the chapter of each trait that mental strong people don’t do, she provides some example behaviors to help determine if you are afflicted with this trait, and some helpful tips and strategies for managing this trait if you find yourself exhibiting it.
The things NOT to do:
1. Self Pity: Replace with: Gratitude
2. Give Away Their Power: Replace with: Self-empowerment
3. Avoid Change: Replace with: Planning to meet change with success
4. Focus On Things Beyond Their Control: Replace with: Focus on what you can control
5. People-Please Everyone: Replace with: Intentionally choosing who you wish to accommodate
6. Fear Calculated Risks: Replace with: Balancing emotion and logic to selectively choose calculated risks.
7. Dwell In The Past: Replace with: Make peace and move beyond the past.
8. Repeat Mistakes Multiple Times: Replace with: Intentionally study and learn from mistakes.
9. Resent Other’s Success: Replace with: Cooperate rather than compete.
10. Give Up At First Failure: Replace with: View failure as part of the journey.
11. Fear Alone Time: Replace with: Embrace alone time.
12. Feel They Are Owed By the World: Replace with: Practice humility.
13. Expect Immediate Results: Replace with: Develop comfort with delayed gratification. (See also 6 and 10)
This was a very useful and actionable book, with many helpful strategies. My suggestion: Read the section that speaks the most to you, and take some time to percolate and implement the suggestions. You could easily be kept busy for the next year!

Russian Translation Quality and What It Depends On
Many interesting books are written in different
languages and not only in English. At the same time, literary translation is one
of the most difficult areas in translation. The task of specialists is not so much
to give an accurate translation as to accurately convey the author’s meaning.
As a rule, languages do not coincide in the number of
meanings of different words or phraseological units. The goal of
the translator is to correctly convey every word and every
thought of the author. In addition, translation is considered one of
the ways to develop a language. But it can be both bad and good.
The quality of the translation is immediately visible to the naked eye.
A mediocre translation is distinguished by vocabulary errors, incorrectly chosen phrases and unsuccessful syntax.
Sometimes translators skip entire paragraphs or just don’t finish them.
It so happens that the linguist does not fully understand the meaning of the
original.
A high-quality translation reproduces not only the thoughts of the author, in it the translator
uses the same methods of writing a work. But even such a translation of a work of
fiction cannot convey everything accurately and smoothly.
Sometimes a specialist is faced with a choice – to give an accurate translation or to make a text without roughness.
We must not forget that completely different criteria apply for translations of poetry than for prose.
In poetry, the arrangement of sounds and images has a strong effect on the reader.
It is completely impossible to convey this. Therefore, the translator has some freedom in translation. Sometimes he
conveys only the rhythm, and sometimes only the meaning.
A highly professional translator always has his own translation secrets.
Difficulty is also encountered with translations of untranslatable expressions.
A professional will always be able to find a replacement for
them or rearrange them to another place. In this case, there are no general rules at all.
Translators find it difficult to translate some of the speaking names contained in the literary text.
There are no rules here. There are separate tricks.
Usually translators from English transliterate or transcribe first names or
surnames. The most common strategy when translating speaking names
is to literally translate the stem and preserve the suffixes and endings.
It is necessary to take into account the stylistic coloring.
In a good translation from English into Russian and vice versa, the terms, form and
style of the document or work should coincide.
