　　Top Ten Ways to Be Happy at Work快樂工作的十條黃金法則

　　Top Ten Ways to Be Happy at Work

　　It doesn’t matter if you have the most mundane, stressful, or tedious job … there is always a way to find happiness in the workplace. Much of it is on your own shoulders. But, to be productive and create a lasting niche for yourself with a company, you must have some sort of happiness. Here are ten ways to be happy at work.

　　(1) HEALTHY BODY

　　Wake up one hour early, and prepare your body for work. Hours are spent with hygiene and wardrobe, but the actually physical body is often forgotten in the morning routine. Just 30 minutes of aerobic exercise will get blood flowing, create energy, boost metabolism, and loosen up the body. This is especially important if you have a desk job, or job where you spend a lot of time cooped up in a car.

　　(2) HEALTHY MIND

　　Take the other 30 minutes (from the early wake up above) to get the mind healthy. Yoga, meditation, prayer, reflection, etc.. what ever works best to clear your mind of personal stressors.

　　(3) EAT A BALANCED DIET

　　Eat energy rich-low fat foods. Fat makes you tired and sluggish; which makes you ill and unhappy. Do not skip breakfast and lunch. It doesn’t matter how busy the day gets, take time to get away from work and eat. This provides you with just enough time to replenish energy levels and refocus.

　　(4) ADD A PERSONAL ELEMENT

　　Most employees will have some place that they can put a personal picture, pot plant, knickknack, etc.. Not only will this make you feel more at ease in the work environment, but it will help you to remember the good things in life. If you do not have an area to call your own, dedicate a special piece of jewelry, that can serve as a happy reminder.

　　(5) DON’T SWEAT THE UNIMPORTANT STUFF

　　Of course, the know it all… tail wagging… suck up… gal next to you is aggravating. However, unless you have the authority to fire her, you are stuck with her. Why let anyone else effect your sanity. Just nod ,and block her diarrhea of the mouth out. Likewise, if a customer is throwing a fit because of a policy that you do not have control over, do not take their insults personally. You will be a much happier person if you realize that you can not sweat the stuff that you can’t change.

　　(6) DO NOT EXPECT PERSONAL RECOGNITION

　　Most bosses and customers are not going to specifically recognize you for your accomplishments. However, they are going to jump on the slightest err. My husband still can not comprehend this. He is always complaining about how unappreciated he is at work. Well, your appreciation, recognition, pat on the back, etc.. is your pay check. If you are getting a pay check, then you can assume you are doing something right. When you expect to be to told “thank you for putting in those extra 20 hours of work this week,” you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Continue to work hard, and your payoff will be promotions, raises, and personal advancement; which is of much greater value than a pat on the back.

　　(7) BE POSITIVE

　　Okay, I know that it is trite and is often a hard feat. However, the “can do attitude” leads to success. In addition to a positive attitude, you should surround yourself with positive people. Also, avoid gossip and complaining.

　　(8) BE KNOWLEDGEABLE

　　What ever your job is, you should make it a priority to know as much as you can about the job, field, company, industry, etc.. This should include the legalities related to the ethics of your profession or license. Knowing what you should and shouldn’t do will give you a greater peace of mind in performing job duties. A person constantly on edge is never happy.

　　(9) ORGANIZATION

　　Keep your area clean and organized. This will cut a tremendous amount of stress out of your life. Thereby, making you a happier person.

　　(10) TAKE YOUR BREAKS

　　Every employee is entitled (by law) to two- 15 min breaks in an 8 hr shift. It is easy to grow weary and aggravated, if you do not take the time to “reset.”

　　We‘re Raising Children,Not Flowers! 我們是在撫養(yǎng)小孩，不是在養(yǎng)花

　　David, my next-door neighbor, has two young kids aged five and seven. One day he was teaching his seven-year-old son Kelly how to push the lawn mower around the yard. As he was teaching him how to turn the mower around at the end of the lawn, his wife, Jan, called to him to ask a question. As David turned to answer the question, Kelly pushed the lawn mower right through the flower bed at the edge of the lawn -- leaving a two-foot wide path leveled to the ground!

　　我的鄰居大衛(wèi)，有兩個小孩，一個5歲，另一個7歲。一天，大衛(wèi)正在教他7歲的兒子凱利如何使用割草機(jī)割草。當(dāng)教到怎樣在草坪盡頭將割草機(jī)掉頭時，他的妻子簡突然喊他，詢問一些事情。當(dāng)大衛(wèi)轉(zhuǎn)過身回答簡的問題時，凱利卻把割草機(jī)推到了草坪邊的花圃上--結(jié)果割草機(jī)所過之處，花尸遍地，原本美麗的花圃留下了一條2尺寬的小徑。

　　When David turned back around and saw what had happened, he began to lose control. David had put a lot of time and effort into making those flower beds the envy of the neighborhood. As he began to raise his voice to his son， Jan walked quickly over to him, put her hand on his shoulder and said,"David, please remember ... we're raising children, not flowers!"

　　Jan reminded me how important it is as a parent to remember our priorities. Kids and their self-esteem are more important than any physical object they might break or destroy. The window pane shattered by a baseball, a lamp knocked over by a careless child, or a plate dropped in the kitchen are already broken.The flowers are already dead. We must remember not to add to the destruction by breaking a child's spirit and deadening his sense of liveliness.

　　大衛(wèi)轉(zhuǎn)過身，面對眼前的情景，怒不可遏。要知道，這個花圃花費了大衛(wèi)多少時間和精力才侍弄成今天這個令鄰居們無比羨慕的樣子呀!他提高嗓門準(zhǔn)備訓(xùn)斥凱利，這時簡快步地走到他身邊，用手輕輕地拍了拍他的肩膀，說："大衛(wèi)，別忘了--我們是在養(yǎng)小孩，而不是在養(yǎng)花!"

　　簡的一番話提醒了我：作為父母我們應(yīng)該清楚孩子和花究竟孰重孰輕。孩子以及他們的自尊要比被打破或損壞的任何東西都要重要得多啊!那些曾經(jīng)被孩子們的棒球砸壞的窗戶、不小心碰倒的臺燈以及在廚房里掉在地上摔碎的碟子都是已經(jīng)毀壞了的東西。正如花圃里被割掉的花再也不能復(fù)原了，我們就不要再去打破一個小孩子稚嫩純凈的心靈，使他們原來充滿活力的感覺變得遲鈍，乃至麻木。

　　I was buying a sport coat a few weeks ago and Mark Michaels, the owner of the store, and I were discussing parenting. He told me that while he and his wife and seven-year-old daughter were out for dinner, his daughter knocked over her water glass. After the water was cleaned up without any recriminating remarks from her parents, she looked up and said, " You know, I really want to thank you guys for not being like other parents. Most of my friends' parents would have yelled at them and given them a lecture about paying more attention. Thanks for not doing that!"

　　Once, when I was having dinner with some friends, a similar incident happened. Their five-year-old son knocked over a glass of milk at the dinner table. When they immediately started in on him, I intentionally knocked my glass over, too. When I started to explain how I still knock things over even at the age of 48, the boy started to beam and the parents seemingly got the message and backed off. How easy it is to forget that we are all still learning.

　　幾個星期以前，我去一家服裝店買了件運動衣，順便和店主馬克·麥克斯討論了一些有關(guān)為人父母的問題。他跟我說了這樣一件事：有一次，他和他的妻子以及他們7歲大的女兒到餐館里吃晚餐時，他的女兒不小心把水杯打翻了。他和妻子并沒有責(zé)備女兒，而是把水漬擦得干干凈凈。女兒抬起頭看著他們說："謝謝爸爸媽媽!你們知道，我很多朋友的父母在發(fā)生了這樣的事時通常都會對孩子大嚷大叫，教訓(xùn)他們要多加小心!而你們卻不像他們那樣，我真的很感謝你們!"

　　有一次，相似的事情在我的身上發(fā)生了。那天，我和幾位朋友共進(jìn)晚餐。他們5歲的兒子不小心弄翻了桌子上的牛奶杯。朋友夫婦開始齊聲責(zé)備起他來。這時，我也故意把我的杯子碰翻了。于是我向朋友夫婦解釋：我雖然48歲了，也有打翻東西的時候。朋友夫婦似乎明白了我的意思，不再生氣地指責(zé)孩子，男孩子也愉快地微笑起來。瞧!我們是多么容易忘記我們?nèi)孕枰粩鄬W(xué)習(xí)呀!

　　I recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he thought he was able to be so much more creative than the average person.

　　He responded that, in his opinion, it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grip on the slippery bottle and it fell, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor -- a veritable sea of milk!

　　最近，我聽到了一個關(guān)于一位著名科學(xué)家的故事。這位科學(xué)家在醫(yī)學(xué)領(lǐng)域曾有過十分重要的發(fā)現(xiàn)和突破。有個報社記者曾經(jīng)采訪過他，問他為什么他會比一般的人更有創(chuàng)造力，究竟是什么妙法使他能夠超乎凡人呢?

　　他說，在他看來，這一切都應(yīng)與他兩歲時母親對發(fā)生在他身上的事的處理方法有關(guān)。有一次，他想自己嘗試著從冰箱里拿一瓶牛奶?？墒瞧孔犹耍麤]有抓住，牛奶瓶子掉在了地上，牛奶濺得滿地都是--看上去簡直是一片牛奶的海洋。

　　When his mother came into the kitchen， instead of yelling at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, " Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge puddle of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

　　Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, " You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that?We could use a sponge, a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.

　　他的母親聞聲連忙跑到廚房里來，可并沒有對他大叫大嚷，也沒有狠狠地教訓(xùn)或懲罰他，只是說："哇!羅伯特!你制造的麻煩可真是棒極了!我還從來沒有見過這么大的一汪牛奶呢!哎，反正奶瓶已經(jīng)摔碎了，那么在我們把它打掃干凈以前，你想不想在牛奶中玩幾分鐘呢?"

　　聽母親這么一說，他真是高興極了，立即在牛奶中玩將起來。幾分鐘后，母親對他說道："羅伯特，你知道，今后，無論什么時候，當(dāng)你制造了像今天這樣又臟又亂的場面時，你都必須要把它打掃干凈，并且要把每件東西按原樣放好。那么你打算怎么收拾呢?我們可以用海綿、毛巾或者是拖把來打掃。你想用哪一種呢?"他選擇了海綿。很快，他們就一起將那滿地的牛奶打掃干凈了。

　　His mother then said, " You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it." The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!

　　This renowned scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment " doesn't work," we usually learn something valuable from it.

　　然后，他的母親又對他說："羅伯特，剛才，你所做的用你的兩只小手拿起大牛奶瓶子的試驗已經(jīng)失敗了?，F(xiàn)在我們到后院去，把瓶子裝滿水，看看你有沒有辦法把它拿起來，而不讓它掉下去。"小羅伯特很快就發(fā)現(xiàn)只要用雙手抓住瓶子頂部、靠近瓶嘴的地方，瓶子就不會從他的手中滑掉。這堂課真是棒極了!

　　然后，這位著名的科學(xué)家說："從那時起，我知道我不必再害怕犯任何錯誤，因為錯誤往往是學(xué)習(xí)新知識的良機(jī)?？茖W(xué)實驗也是這樣，即使實驗失敗了，我們還是可以從中學(xué)到很多有價值的東西?";

　　Wouldn't it be great if all parents would respond the way Robert's mother responded to him?

　　One last story that illustrates the application of this attitude in an adult context was told on the radio several years back. A young woman was driving home from work when she snagged her fender on the bumper of another car. She was in tears as she explained that it was a new car, only a few days from the showroom. How was she ever going to explain the damaged car to her husband?

　　如果天下所有的父母都能像羅伯特的母親對待羅伯特那樣來教育子女的話，那豈不是太好了嗎?

　　最后，還有一個幾年前曾經(jīng)在收音機(jī)里說過的故事，它對于運用同樣的態(tài)度處理我們成人之間的關(guān)系有著異曲同工之妙。故事說的是：一天，有個年輕的女子，在下班開車回家的路上不小心與另外一輛車發(fā)生了碰撞，結(jié)果，她的車擋泥板被撞壞了。她淚流滿面地說，這是一輛新車，剛剛買回來沒幾天，回家她該如何向丈夫交代呢?

　　The driver of the other car was sympathetic, but explained that they must note each other's license numbers and registration numbers. As the young woman reached into a large brown envelope to retrieve the documents, a piece of paper fell out. In a heavy masculine scrawl were these words:" In case of accident ... remember, honey, it's you I love, not the car!"

　　Let's remember that our children's spirits are more important than any material things. When we do, self-esteem and love blossom will grow more beautifully than any bed of flowers ever could.

　　與之相撞的那輛車的司機(jī)滿懷同情但表示，他們應(yīng)該記下彼此的駕駛執(zhí)照和車牌號碼。當(dāng)這位年輕女子從棕色的大文件袋中取出有關(guān)文件時，一張紙條掉了出來。只見上面用男人的筆跡寫著："如果發(fā)生事故……請記住，親愛的，我愛的是你，不是車!"

　　讓我們牢記：孩子的心靈比世上任何物質(zhì)的東西都要重要!只要我們永遠(yuǎn)牢記這一點，那么，自尊和愛的花朵就會比花圃中的任何花兒都開得燦爛、美麗!

　　難以遺忘的生命的種種感動

　　 It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. But what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.

　　只有付出的愛是痛苦的，但比這更痛苦是愛一個人卻沒有勇氣讓那人知道你的感情。

　　 A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you，only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.

　　生命中令人悲傷的一件事是你遇到了一個對你來說很重要的人，但卻最終發(fā)現(xiàn)你們有緣無份，因此你不得不放手。

　　 The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with，never say a word，and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

　　最好的朋友就是那種能和你促膝而坐，彼此不說只字片語，分別時卻感到這是你有過的最好的一次交流!

　　 It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

　　的確只有當(dāng)我們失去時才知道曾擁有的是什么，同樣，只有當(dāng)我們擁有了才知道曾經(jīng)失去了什么。

　　 It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone，an hour to like someone，and a day to love someone- but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

　　迷上某人只需一分鐘，喜歡上某人需要一小時，愛上某人則要一天，然而，忘記某人卻是一輩子的事情。

　　 Don't go for looks;they can deceive. Don't go for wealth;even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

　　別傾心于容貌，因為它具有欺騙性，也別傾心于財富，它也會消散，傾心于那個能帶給你笑容的人吧，因為一個笑容能使漫漫長夜如白晝般明亮。

　　 Dream what you want to dream;go where you want to go;be what you want to be，because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

　　做你想做的夢吧，去你想去的地方吧，成為你想成為的人吧，因為你只有一次生命，一個機(jī)會去做所有那些你想做的事。

　　 Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you，it probably hurts the person too.

　　要設(shè)身處地的為別人著想, 如果一雙鞋你穿著夾腳, 別人的感覺可能也一樣。

　　 A careless word may kindle strife;a cruel word may wreck a life;a timely word may level stress;a loving word may heal and bless.

　　無心快語可能引發(fā)爭執(zhí)，無情之詞可能折損生命，適時溫語可能消弭壓力，而關(guān)愛之聲可能治愈心靈。

　　 The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

　　幸福之人并非擁有一切，只是盡力享受生活的賜予。

　　 Love begins with a smile，grows with a kiss，ends with a tear. When you were born，you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die，you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

　　愛情以笑開始，以吻轉(zhuǎn)濃，以淚結(jié)束。當(dāng)你哭著降臨人世時，身邊的每個人都在為此歡笑，好好生活吧，這樣你就能含笑離開人世，而身邊的每個人都在為此哭泣。
