有这10个“坏习惯”，那可能是因为你聪明！

3. Running late
迟到

Being chronically tardy can interfere with both your personal and professional relationships, making you look disorganized or worse, disrespectful.
总是迟到会影响你的个人和职场人际关系，给人留下散漫甚至是不尊重他人的印象。

不过迟到也许并不是你的本意，而是因为你对自己太过自信。据《纽约时报》援引心理学作家戴安娜•狄隆佐的话称：

"Many late people tend to be both optimistic and unrealistic and this affects their perception of time. They really believe they can go for a run, pick up their clothes at the dry cleaners, buy groceries and drop off the kids at school in an hour."
“很多爱迟到的人都比较乐观，且不切实际，这影响了他们的时间观念。他们真的认为，自己可以在一小时之内完成跑步、到干洗店取衣服、买日用品以及去送孩子到学校的工作。”

In other words, late people hope for and expect the best - which can be a double-edged sword in daily life.
换句话说，爱迟到的人总是做最好的打算，而这在日常生活中可能是把双刃剑。

4. Complaining
抱怨

No one wants to be that friend who goes on and on about his annoying coworker, the rain, and the lousy service at the restaurant where he just ate.
没有人想要不停向朋友抱怨自己的同事有多讨厌、雨下得有多恼人，或者自己用餐的饭店服务有多差。

Meanwhile, recent research cited in The Atlantic found that those who complain more mindfully - meaning they have a specific end result in mind - are happier than those who simply vent.
不过，《大西洋月刊》上一项新的研究发现，更加慎重抱怨的人（这种人的脑海中有一个明确的终极结果），比那些单纯宣泄的人更快乐。

If you need to complain, there's a way to express some negativity without turning off everyone around you or exacerbating the situation. According to psychologist Guy Winch, there's a "right" way to gripe.
如果你需要抱怨，有一种方法既可以抒发负面情绪，又不会让周围的人感到厌烦或让情况恶化。据心理专家盖伊•温奇称，抱怨也是有“正确”的方法的。

"An effective complaint is about an issue that can be remedied, and is addressed to someone who has the power to fix it."
“有效的抱怨会围绕一个可以补救的问题进行，而且抱怨的对象要是有能力处理这个问题的人。”
