Keep away from negative energy

我们wǒ men大多数dà duō shù人rén都dōu会huì认为rèn wéi,近朱者赤jìn zhū zhě chì,近墨者黑jìn mò zhě hēi。

如果rú guǒ一yī个gè懒lǎn人rén身边shēn biān全quán是shì高gāo效率xiào lǜ的de人rén,那nà他tā肯定kěn dìng会huì受shòu鼓舞gǔ wǔ,从而cóng ér会huì变得biàn de更加gèng jiā勤奋qín fèn。

然而rán ér,事实上shì shí shàng,结果jié guǒ恰恰qià qià和hé我们wǒ men想象xiǎng xiàng的de相反xiāng fǎn。

一yī个gè带有dài yǒu负fù能量néng liàng的de人rén,其实qí shí可以kě yǐ易如反掌yì rú fǎn zhǎng地de影响yǐng xiǎng整zhěng个gè团队tuán duì的de现状xiàn zhuàng。

当dāng你nǐ允许yǔn xǔ负fù能量néng liàng的de人rén出现chū xiàn在zài你nǐ的de生活shēng huó中zhōng时shí,你nǐ实际上shí jì shàng就jiù是shì在zài默许mò xǔ他们的tā men de行为xíng wéi。

这zhè和hé他们tā men无关wú guān,只zhǐ和hé你nǐ有关yǒu guān。

你nǐ给gěi他们tā men提供tí gōng了le适合shì hé生长shēng zhǎng的de土壤tǔ rǎng。

负fù能量néng liàng是shì具有jù yǒu传播chuán bō性xìng的de。

我们wǒ men也yě不bù应该yīng gāi容忍róng rěn负fù能量néng liàng的de坏huài习惯xí guàn和hé行为xíng wéi。

否则fǒu zé,我们wǒ men自己zì jǐ就jiù有yǒu可能kě néng变成biàn chéng负fù能量néng liàng的de人rén。
