摘錄：我們生活的環(huán)境并不會一直如意。有些天還不錯，有些天卻很糟糕。有些天連公交車也走得出奇的慢，你發(fā)誓再也不會乘坐公共交通工具。要學(xué)著接受生活有時候不如您所愿的這一事實，與其試著去改變一些不可能的事情還不如將你的精力放在你能掌控的事情上。

　　生活隨筆：快樂生活的好習(xí)慣

　　“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.” — Dalai Lama

　　Having a happier life is something we all always strive for, and being happy encompasses so many aspects—mental, physical and spiritual—of our lives.

　　What I’ve learned from being happy is that no matter how bad our days get, happiness can be found, especially when we consistently try to consciously be happy.

　　“幸福并非那種已經(jīng)擁有的東西，她源自于你自己的行動?！?/p>

　　幸福是我們一直都在追求的東西，但是幸福也包括很多方面----我們生活的心理、身理、和精神方面。

　　在追求幸福的過程中我學(xué)到的就是不管生活多糟糕，幸福一直都在，特別是當我們一直堅持著想要幸福的時候。

　　1.Learn how to relax when setbacks arise.

　　在遇到困難的時候要學(xué)會放松

　　We do not live in a perfect world. Some days are great; some days are not. Some days, the buses run extremely late, and you swear you’ll never take the public transport ever again. Accept the fact that that things may not go as planned. Instead of trying to change something you can’t, focus your energy on changing something that is within your control.

　　我們生活的環(huán)境并不會一直如意。有些天還不錯，有些天卻很糟糕。有些天連公交車也走得出奇的慢，你發(fā)誓再也不會乘坐公共交通工具。要學(xué)著接受生活有時候不如您所愿的這一事實，與其試著去改變一些不可能的事情還不如將你的精力放在你能掌控的事情上。

　　2.Laugh in the middle of a busy day.

　　最忙的時候也要對自己微笑

　　It’s 3 PM on a Friday afternoon and you’re desperate to leave the office. On top of the work you have, you’re running close to a super important deadline. Instead of blaming everything not going your way, take a moment to laugh.

　　現(xiàn)在是周五下午的3點，你是拼了命的想要離開。但是你還有一堆的工作要做，有些很重要的事項眼看就要到截止日期了。與其抱怨一些不如你所愿的事情還不如忙里偷閑笑一笑。

　　3.Do not compare yourself to others.

　　不要拿自己和別人相比

　　Measure your own successes based on your progress, and only yours. All of our lives are unique, and no one is better than any one else. Try not to think that you are better than anyone else as it promotes unhealthy superiority and can be detrimental to your happiness.

　　基于你自己的努力來衡量一下你的成功，只是你自己的。我們都是獨一無二的，沒有人比其他任何人都要好很多的。不要覺得自己就比別人好，因為那樣的想法會促成不良的優(yōu)差意識，然后來影響你的幸福。

　　4.See that colleague in the beautiful new dress? Compliment her.

　　看見同事穿了一件漂亮的新裙子?贊美她一下。

　　Everyone loves compliments, including that colleague who just walked in on a Monday morning in a beautiful dress. Being kind to others, like passing random compliments, it makes people happy, boosting self-esteem and confidence. Don’t be afraid to tell people how great they look, or how awesome their smile is. It’ll do good for them, and you!

　　每個人都喜歡被贊美，包括周一的時候就穿著漂亮的新裙子走在路上的同事。對別人友好一點，像是在路上的時候你的隨性贊美都會讓別人感到快樂，讓他們更自尊更自信。不要不敢告訴別人他們的外表有多美，笑容有多美。不僅有益于他人，還有益于你自己。

　　5.Stop trying to please others.

　　不要試著去取悅別人

　　It’s tiring and you will soon run out of time to please yourself, period.

　　很累，你也會沒有時間取悅你自己。

　　6.Focus on the present moment.

　　關(guān)注當下

　　Take some time every day to focus on the present moment; it is the only certain time we have in our life. Try not to think about the negative past experiences and embrace the time you have now. You’ll soon find that even the slightest thing that you do at this moment can bring about happiness for many hours and days to come.

　　每天花點時間關(guān)注當下，這才是我們生活中最確定的時間。試著不要去回憶過去不美好的時光，好好利用你現(xiàn)在擁有的時光。很快你會發(fā)現(xiàn)哪怕這一刻的一件很細微的事情也會為你帶來之后幾小時甚至是幾天的快樂。
