不要让别人利用你，你要有自己的空间。

 

Someone asking to borrow your stapler or eyeing your lunch again? Tigers can claim more than 200 square miles as territory. What's yours is yours. Don't be afraid to let people know it or be afraid to say no (politely, of course). If you do loan something out, set clear expectations of when you want it back.

有人又跟你借订书器或关注你的午餐了？老虎周围200平方英里都是自己的领地，所以你的东西就是你的东西。不要害怕让别人知道或害怕说“不”（当然要注意礼貌）。如果你把东西借出去了，一定要清楚什么时候要回来。

 

2. Don't let others talk over you. Raise your voice and be heard!

不要让别人说服你，提高你的嗓音让别人听到！

 

 

You know who ignores a tiger? You know who interrupts a tiger during a work meeting? No one, that's who! If you were a tiger, your roar would be heard nearly two miles away.

你知道有谁会忽视老虎吗？你知道有谁在工作会议期间会打断老虎吗？没有人，那可是大人物。如果你是一只老虎，你的怒吼声两英里外都能被人听到。

 

3. Be social! But respect the space and time you need to chill out.

要去社交！但注意，在需要冷静时要留有自己的空间和时间。

 

Tigers have their own territories and tend to live on their own but do often roam larger areas as well, which means they can keep track of what their neighbors are doing.

老虎都有自己的领地，喜欢独居，但也经常会到更广阔的地方去漫步，这样它们就能知道邻居在做什么。

 

"Solitary tigers actually have a rich social life; they just prefer to socialize from a distance," says the National Zoo's website.

国家动物园的网站上说：“孤傲的老虎真的有很丰富的社交生活；他们只是在和别人交往时会保持距离。”

 

You can balance your private and social life as well. Set time limits for social media. You'll be more productive, and it'll mean that when you do meet up with your friends, you can leave work at work and focus on them.

你也能平衡好自己的私生活和社交活动。花费在社交网站的时间要有限，你做事效率会更高，重要的是见朋友时不要考虑工作的事，把心思收回来。
