Unfortunately, these misguided measures exert great and growing influence on how we manage our lives and businesses while reflecting our social media misuse. If we don't pop our virtual personal bubbles, we can be in for a world of very real hurt.

遗憾的是，这些颇具误导性的衡量指标对我们如何管理自己的生活和工作有着巨大且不断增长的影响力，而这种影响力也恰恰反映出我们对于社交媒体的滥用程度。若是我们任由这种虚拟的自我泡沫不断膨胀，最终受到伤害的还是自己。

To be sure, we need the healthy form of narcissism more than ever. We need to thoughtfully participate in the interconnected world—and social media platforms and tools, used correctly, are an incredibly effective way to do so. But these tools only work if we use them as intended. This requires some narcissism, the self-regard necessary to express our authentic selves – but not the obsession with image that caused Narcissus' untimely end.

可以肯定的是，我们比以往任何时候都需要一种健康的“自恋”。在参与和融入到这个互联互通的世界中时，我们必须要做到深思熟虑。在使用得当的前提下，社交媒体平台和工具会成为一个非常有效的工具，但是这些工具也只有在人们合理使用之时才能发挥作用。
