生活隨筆：快樂生活的好習慣
摘錄：我們生活的環境並不會一直如意。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，你發誓再也不會乘坐公共交通工具。要學着接受生活有時候不如您所願的這一事實，與其試着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。
“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.
“幸福並非那種已經擁有的東西，她源自於你自己的行動。”
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着想要幸福的時候。
n how to relax when setbacks arise.
在遇到困難的時候要學會放鬆
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.
我們生活的環境並不會一直如意。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，你發誓再也不會乘坐公共交通工具。要學着接受生活有時候不如您所願的這一事實，與其試着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。
h 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.
現在是週五下午的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願的事情還不如忙裏偷閒笑一笑。
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.
基於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，因爲那樣的想法會促成不良的優差意識，然後來影響你的幸福。
that colleague in the beautiful new dress? Compliment her.
看見同事穿了一件漂亮的新裙子?讚美她一下。
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!
每個人都喜歡被讚美，包括週一的時候就穿着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讚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。不僅有益於他人，還有益於你自己。
trying to please others.
不要試着去取悅別人
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。
s on the present moment.
關注當下
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.
每天花點時間關注當下，這纔是我們生活中最確定的時間。試着不要去回憶過去不美好的時光，好好利用你現在擁有的時光。很快你會發現哪怕這一刻的一件很細微的事情也會爲你帶來之後幾小時甚至是幾天的快樂。
