美文欣賞：幸福生活的20句錦言

I think of myself as the happiest person whenever I walk into a room, and most people notice my smile right away. Here are 20 ways you can find yourself as happy as I am.

每當(dāng)我進(jìn)入一個(gè)房間的時(shí)候，我總是認(rèn)為自己是最幸福的人，大部分的人都會(huì)立刻注意到我的微笑。下面是20條習(xí)慣，可以讓你和我一樣幸福。

1. Let it go.

1.順其自然

When someone criticizes you or says something not-so-nice, just forget it. Worse things have been uttered in human history. Even when you know the person meant it, remember that you become stronger by accepting them for who they are and knowing your capabilities.

當(dāng)有人批評(píng)你或說(shuō)你壞話時(shí)，別往心里去。人類(lèi)歷史上還發(fā)生過(guò)比這更糟糕的事情呢。即便你知道這個(gè)人不是在開(kāi)玩笑，記住，學(xué)會(huì)接受并相信自己的能力會(huì)讓你變得更強(qiáng)大。

2. Be kind.

2.待人友善

People who are mean and feel the need to put others down are insecure with themselves. But when you are kind to others, kindness returns to you.

有些人刻薄，喜歡貶低別人以求得自身的安全感。但當(dāng)你友善地對(duì)待他人時(shí)，他們也會(huì)用友善回報(bào)你。

3. Think of your problems as challenges.

3.把問(wèn)題看做挑戰(zhàn)

When you come up against a difficulty, whether a person or an event, consider what your future self will have learned from it. I believe it was Kanye West, or maybe Nietszche, who said, “What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.”

遇到困難時(shí)，不論這困難是人還是事，想想你將會(huì)從中學(xué)到什么。記不清是坎耶維特斯(Kanye West)還是尼采(Nietszche)曾說(shuō)過(guò)，“那些殺不死我的東西，只會(huì)讓我變更強(qiáng)。”

4. Express gratitude.

4.學(xué)會(huì)表達(dá)感謝

When you let people know that you appreciate them, they are more willing to help you in the future. Saying thank you is more than good manners—it’s karma.

時(shí)時(shí)對(duì)人表達(dá)感謝之意會(huì)使他們?cè)谖磥?lái)更愿意幫助你。說(shuō)一句“謝謝”不僅僅是禮貌——凡事都有因果報(bào)應(yīng)。

5. Dream big.

5.理想遠(yuǎn)大

The happiest person has reached the highest level of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs—self-actualization. If you want to be happy you must work hard to achieve something, and strive to attain that life goal.

最幸福的人已經(jīng)達(dá)到馬洛斯需求層次的最高層次——自我實(shí)現(xiàn)。想要幸福，你就得努力工作取得些成就，并努力實(shí)現(xiàn)人生目標(biāo)。
