49個簡單的方式立刻改變你的生活

If you want to live a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life, you must be intentional about doing the little things to make your life better. Seems obvious, right? But how intentional are you about doing that to improve the quality of your life?

如果你想有一個快樂、健康、滿意的生活，你必須要有目的的做能讓你開心的小事。顯而易見，是嗎?但是怎樣才可以提高生活質(zhì)量呢?

Improving your life is about doing the little things along your journey that bring joy, happiness, and fulfillment into your life. Little Things Matter is all about helping you become the person you need to be to achieve your goals and live the life you desire.

提高生活品質(zhì)就是做旅行中的種種帶來歡聲笑語的小事。小事情博客就是能幫助你實現(xiàn)自己的目標，讓你過上理想生活的平臺。

In a special contest, members of the Little Things Matter Facebook community were asked to share their #1 little thing that could improve someone’s life today. Over 300 people responded with outstanding ideas, practical suggestions, and life affirmations.

在一個特殊競賽中，小事情臉書社區(qū)的成員要分享他們的一件提高現(xiàn)在生活質(zhì)量的小事超過300人的回答都是出類拔萃的想法，實用的建議和生活上的主張。

While it was difficult to choose among them, the Little Things Matter team selected the entries that best represent the inspiring themes that characterized the majority of responses.

小事情博客要選出最能代表其特色并能引人注目的主題的隊伍，然而很難做出選擇。

I invite you to join me in putting a different one of these suggestions into action every day.

今天，請你和我一起將以下各種各樣的建議付諸實踐。

1. Radiate Joy

傳播歡樂

Smile at everyone—yourself in the mirror, your boss, your family, strangers, co-workers, the clerk at the store. Smile, just because. Smiling creates friendship, acceptance, understanding, and it’s more fun! (Kalama Hochreiter )

對每個人都面帶微笑--鏡子里的自己、你的家人、陌生人、同事，以及商店的收銀員。僅僅只是因為微笑創(chuàng)造了友誼、接納、理解和更多的歡樂。(克拉瑪·霍克賴特)

2. Take a Risk

冒險

Do something outside your comfort zone. Whether it’s talking to someone outside your social circle at a party when you’re shy, offering to help someone with a project that will require learning new skills at work, or trying a new ethnic restaurant instead of the usual Pie ‘n Burger, you’ll expand your horizons and, with them, your ideas about who you are and what you can do. (Liz Pruyn)

在戶外舒適的地方行動起來。不管你是否是在自己的交際圈的派對上不敢和陌生人講話的人，給那些工作上需要新方法的人提供幫助，或者在一家新的民族餐廳吃飯代替常去的派家漢堡，你就會擴大看待別人和做事情的視野。(利茲·普林)

3. Look for Ways to Be Kind to People

找到慷慨待人的各種方法

Do a random act of kindness at least daily. Open a door, send an “I Love You” to a loved one you haven’t seen in a while, help an elderly person to their seat, etc. If you pay attention to their responses, it will brighten your day! (Michael Lindsay)

每天都要和藹待人。打開心房，傳遞一份愛意給一個你從未見過的人，像給老人讓位子等等。如果你專注于別人的回答，你一整天都會很開心。(邁克爾·琳賽)

4. Learn Something New Today

每天學(xué)習(xí)新事物

Stay open to learning. Be accepting of growth and change. There is something to learn every day. From an experience, a person you know, a book, a course, a film, your child, your parents…stay open. Life is about growth and learning. Growth and change bring us life. The more we learn, the more alive we are. And remember, your mind is like a parachute, it functions better when open. (Elizabeth McCollum )

廣泛學(xué)習(xí)，并且接受成長和蛻變。開放點，可以從一段經(jīng)歷、一個認識的人、一本書、一節(jié)課、一部電影、你的孩子、你的父母等等，每天都有東西可學(xué)。生活就是成長和學(xué)習(xí)，還有改變。我們學(xué)的越多，日子就越有生氣。記住，你的頭腦就像一把降落傘，打開的時候才會起作用。(伊麗莎白·麥卡倫姆)

5. Respect Those Who Make Your Life Easier

尊重那些讓你活得更容易的人

Be kind and polite, especially to service workers. They are just making their money like everyone else. (Judy Dawn Bentley Schroeder)

禮貌可親的待人，特別是服務(wù)行業(yè)的人，他們也是像別人一樣掙錢而已。(朱迪道恩·本特利施羅德)

6. Listen to Understand

理解性的聽

In order to make life better today, keep your opinions to yourself. Don’t necessarily agree or disagree with another, but listen intently. Allowing others to confide in you or even vent can pave the way for future friendships. At the very least, you will gain the trust of another and even an ally when it is most needed. (John R. Fritts)

為了讓今天生活的更好，堅持自己的主張，不要老是贊成和反對別人，就專心的聽。讓別人吐露心事或者是發(fā)泄都能夠為將來的友情鋪平道路。至少，你會獲得別人的信任，甚至在最需要幫助的時候有人會伸出援手。(約翰·拉比·弗里茲)

7. Reach out to Loved Ones

傳遞愛意給愛的人

Stay connected with your family (all generations) and your friends. These are the ties that matter most and will follow you through life. Don’t let things get in the way of your relationships with people! (Lori Peakall-Cote)

和家人(包括所有年代)和朋友保持聯(lián)系，因為他們與你有很重要的而且會伴隨一生的關(guān)系，不要讓其他事情阻礙你和別人的關(guān)系的發(fā)展。(拉里·皮克爾·考特)

8. Consider Points of View Other Than Your Own

思考關(guān)鍵所在

If you judge people, you’ll have no time to love them; so try not to judge or make assumptions until you know the whole story. Be thankful for everyone you know. People are our greatest assets, so be kind and generous to one another. What comes around goes around. We tend to get back what we put forth, so if we plant seeds of faith in one another, we will receive an abundance of faithful friends. (Roberto Hemerez)

如果你只是憑判斷待人的話，你不會喜歡他們，所以在不知道整個事情的之前，不要自己做出判斷或假設(shè)。感激每一個你認識的人，他們是我們最大的資產(chǎn)，所以對每一個人慷慨友善。事情是一環(huán)套一環(huán)的，我們付出就會有收獲，就像我們在其他地方種出了信任的種子，我們就會收獲一群忠誠的朋友。(羅伯特·荷馬瑞茲)

9. Learn to Trust

學(xué)會信任

Be vulnerable with those you’ve found to be trustworthy and closest to you in life. It will develop much deeper relationships and can lead to very meaningful conversations. (Valerie McClintock Gipe)

你容易受到那些身邊可靠的、最親的人的傷害，但是會讓你們關(guān)系更親，并且使對話變得非常有意義。(瓦萊麗·麥克林托克·吉普)

10. Show Your Appreciation

表達感激

Let no one be invisible, some people spend their lives searching to be heard, appreciated, and valued. Sometimes it just takes 5 seconds to make someone’s day brighter. Whether it is asking how a person’s family is, or complimenting someone on their new haircut. Try not to let anyone go without stopping and showing interest in them. (Hannah Smith)

要讓別人有存在感，有人用盡一生尋找自己聽到的、贊揚的、有價值的東西。有時候五秒鐘就可以讓一個人一天都很開心，不管他的家庭背景如何，不管別人是否稱贊他的新發(fā)型。不要諷刺別人，要表現(xiàn)出自己的興趣。

11. Embrace Spontaneity

主動擁抱

Do something spontaneous, whether going to a restaurant you’ve never been to before, waking up earlier in the morning to spend a few minutes with someone before they go to work, saying hello to someone new. These little things, however trivial, may have surprising results—results that unequivocally change your life for the better. (Kyle Bilbray)

主動做一些事情，不管是不是去從未去過的餐廳，還是早起后，在上班前花幾分鐘和別人散散步，還是主動和新面孔打招呼，這些小事即使很瑣碎，可能也會有驚喜——肯定會讓你的生活變得更好。(凱爾·比爾布雷)

12. Look for the Best in People

尋覓最佳的人

Commit every day to giving out a genuine compliment to a minimum of ten people. Whether it is their smile, clothes, makeup, or a recent accomplishment, recognize it. You are positively impacting their lives and yours as well. (Dana Olmsted Theisen)

每天都抽時間出來稱贊別人，至少是十個人。不管別人的笑容、穿著、妝容還是最近的成就如何，都要辨別清楚，因為你們之間是相互影響的。(達納·奧姆斯特德·泰森)

13. Practice, Practice, Practice

練習(xí)、練習(xí)、再練習(xí)

Start one small discipline and build on it daily. Even if you don’t do it all the way, each time you practice a discipline, it builds on the last, even if it’s just character. (Michael Mowad)

每天都進行一項小訓(xùn)練，即使只是一刻，即使你一直都不會，你也要堅持到最后。(邁克爾·莫瓦德)

14. Become Selfless

無私

Take “I” and “Me” out of your vocabulary, and watch how life will reward you. Watch how your anxieties wither away while your determination hits overdrive. If your character is defined by what you do for yourself, it’s worthless. Let the life you breathe into others define your character, and watch your life soar. (Matt Priddle)

不要管語法上的問題，看看生活會給“我”帶來什么獎勵，當你的下定決心時看看你的擔憂怎樣慢慢減弱。如果你的特點只取決于你自己的話，就會徒勞無功，要讓別人在你的生命里幫你形成你的特點，并迅速發(fā)芽。(馬特·普里德爾)

15. Break the Elevator Code of Silence

打破沉寂

Smile, say hello, and engage with everyone you meet. Your positive and genuine connection with others will teach greatness by example, and your efforts will not only lift another person, you will win all sorts of new friends. (Alicia Warner Blickfeldt)

對見到的每個人都微笑、打招呼--你對別人的樂觀誠懇會帶來很多好處，經(jīng)實例證明這些好處不只是對別人，你自己也會贏得很多新友誼。(艾莉西亞·沃納·布里克費特)

16. Set Your Standards High

對自己高要求

Draw a line…then live above it. The negatives you encounter fall below the line—doubt, fear, resignation and defeat. Joy, gratefulness, faith, belief and trust rise above it. Strive to live above it. (Carole Chalmers)

標出一條線，要處于線的上方。線以下是消極的包括疑慮、恐懼、放棄和挫敗等，而線以上是歡樂、感恩、信念、信賴和責(zé)任等。堅持處于線的上方。(科瑞奧·查爾默斯)

17. See It, Be It

看到就做

Use the power of vision to orchestrate your future. Too often, we live our lives day to day without thinking about the future. Taking the time out each day to actually visualize yourself obtaining your goals will make it easier to obtain them. You are more likely to take the steps to get there if you can actually see the mental template in your mind. This one little thing, picturing the life you want, can actually be the biggest key to achieving your dreams. (Patti Phelan Clapp)

幻想精心安排的未來。我們常常沒有思考過未來，每天花點時間想像自己要達成的目標就會更容易實現(xiàn)那些目標。如果你腦海中已經(jīng)形成了模板，你應(yīng)該一步一步的來。這些小事變成了生活中的圖片就能成為實現(xiàn)理想的關(guān)鍵。(帕蒂·費倫·克拉普)

18. Energize Your Day

每天活力四射

Take the road less travelled…or the stairs. By walking up stairs, you not only contribute to an eco-friendly means of getting to an upper level floor; you increase the muscle building hormone in your body and you get your heart rate up, which increases the blood pumping which in effect makes you more alert. So skip the coffee and energy drinks; take the stairs. (Chris McCants)

多走走公路，或者是樓梯。走樓梯不僅可以走到自己想要的樓層，還可以鍛煉肌肉，增加血液流動加強心健。扔掉咖啡和能量飲料，走走樓梯吧。(查理斯·麥坎特)

19. Adopt a Positive Perspective

采取積極的思維方法

View everyone and everything as being supportive of you. This simple shift of viewpoint can create miracles. When I first started this practice, my mind was sure these people were criticizing and not supporting me. When I thanked them for being so supportive, walls broke down and all my major relationships shifted. (Barbara Kantor)

把每一個人都當成自己的支持者，轉(zhuǎn)變成這樣的觀點可以創(chuàng)造奇跡。我第一次這么做的時候，我覺得他們都在反對我，而不是支持我。我感激他們這么支持我，打破了我與所有朋友的心墻。(芭芭拉·坎特)

20. Be Better Than Okay

做的更好

When someone asks how you’re doing, say “Great!” (along with a smile and eye contact) instead of “okay” or “pretty good” or other things. Pretty soon, it will become a habit and change your attitude and help others too! (Michelle Amy Joyce Hodge)

有人問你做的怎么樣時，你應(yīng)該帶著微笑看著他說：“非常棒!”而不是“好”、“很好”或者其他回答。漸漸的，讓它變成一種習(xí)慣，你的態(tài)度會發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)變，也可以幫到別人。(米歇爾·艾米·朱思·霍奇)

21. Do Ordinary Tasks With Zest

讓工作變得更有意思

Do not overlook the everyday tasks, do them with vigor. I have found it easier to master the small details then proceed to ignore them, all too often at my detriment. Stay focused on the “little things” and the big things will be manageable. (David Porter)

不要忽視每天的工作，要精力充沛的做。我發(fā)現(xiàn)這樣會讓這些細節(jié)變得更簡單，然后忽略這些常常損害我的工作。把注意力集中在“小事情”上，大事也就容易解決了。(大衛(wèi)·波特)

22. Give Yourself a Pep Talk

給自己鼓勵

Each morning when you look in the mirror repeat: I choose to be the person I want to be and to make a difference in my life and the lives of others. (George Sharp)

每天早上都對鏡子里的自己這么說：我要成為與眾不同的能夠給他人帶來活力的人。(喬治·夏普)

23. Live a Fruitful Life

過得多姿多彩

See every challenge as an opportunity for growth. Things in life can make us bitter or better…choose to let your life be lived out by lessons that lead to the strengthening of your character. So much of the battle is in our minds that we need to take captive every wrong thought, bad attitude, and defeated outlook and replace it with what will bring life to us…and by life I mean—joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, and self-control. (Jessica Smith)

把每一個挑戰(zhàn)都當成是成長的機會。這些挑戰(zhàn)會讓我們變得更糟糕或者更好，所以選擇讓你生活變得更好的課程，幫助你增加自己的特質(zhì)。我們會進行這樣的思想斗爭 ——我們需要拋棄錯誤的思想、消極的態(tài)度、還有好斗的觀點取而代之的是能給生活帶來好處的觀點——歡樂、和平、耐心、慷慨、紳士和自控力。(杰西卡·斯密斯)

24. Let Nature Lift Your Spirits

讓自然愉悅心情

Take 15 minutes during your work day and go outside and really look around. Sit somewhere and just observe nature. Look closely at a plant, a bug even a cloud. Just breathe and focus. At the end of your break you will feel calmer, refreshed and have that much more appreciation for nature. (Susan Feder)

每天花十五分鐘到處走一走，看一看。坐在某個地方享受大自然，看看附近的樹，小蟲子甚至是一片云，就只是集中一下注意力和做個深呼吸。最后你會打破寂靜，變得更有活力，也能發(fā)現(xiàn)大自然的更多美麗之處。(蘇珊·菲德爾)

25. Become Accepting of Others

接受別人

Avoid being hurt / disappointed. Accept people for who they are, where they are in life and not where you want them to be or what you want them to be doing. (Laurel Cherwin)

不要傷害別人或者是消極沮喪。接受那些人本來的模樣會讓你在需要他們的時候，他們就會出現(xiàn)。(拉瑞·舍溫)

26. Choose to Make a Difference

做出改變

My mom always said to leave a place better than you found it. I try to be sure I don’t leave behind messes for someone else to pick up. Along with that, I try to pick up where I am so the next person sees a better place, even if I didn’t do it—like litter at a park that someone else left. (Monica McGregor Huyser)

我的媽媽總是據(jù)說要留一個人地方比你找地方更好。我嘗試確定我不給其他人留下混亂去挑選。沿著這個想法，我嘗試挑選一個下一個人看到更好的位置，盡管我不這樣做——就像一個人留下垃圾在公園。

27. Become a People Person

做你自己

Learn from people, talk to people, help people. This will give you purpose and confidence and will help you develop new skills and achieve any goal you can think of while you fill your life with great experiences and results bigger than doing it alone. (Lenny Ramirez)

向別人學(xué)習(xí)，和別人溝通，幫助別人--會讓你有目標、有信心，也會幫你形成新的技能并發(fā)展下去，還可以實現(xiàn)你比你單獨行動還要好很多的目標，帶來更多的經(jīng)歷和更好的結(jié)果。

28. Tidy up Your Tasks

做好任務(wù)分工

Get your life in order! “Undone” things keep our lives cluttered and prevent us from being or becoming the person we want to be. Choose one task and finish it. Throw out the old magazines, glue the handle on the mug, touch up the paint in the hall, etc. Your self-esteem will soar! (Leslie Rowe Novak)

讓你的生活變得盡然有序。不必要做的事情會讓生活雜亂無章，還會阻止我們成為自己想成為的人。選好一個任務(wù)，完成它。扔掉舊雜志，牢牢握緊把手，觸摸墻壁上的畫，等都會讓你的自尊心迅速飆升。

29. Begin Each Day Anew

每天都是新的開始

You can improve your present life by letting go of your past. The more time you spend thinking about the should’ves, could’ves, would’ves of your past, the less time you have to live in the present. There is nothing you can do to undo or change the past, but you can surely make your future a better one, a great one, and you can start now. (Imelda R Tan)

通過摒棄過去可以提高你現(xiàn)在的生活水平。思考你過去應(yīng)該做的、能夠做的、可以做的事情——你花的時間越多，你現(xiàn)在要思考的時間就少了。你不能改變過去想做的能改變的事情，你現(xiàn)在可以可以為更好的將來就現(xiàn)在重新開始。

30. Gratitude Rocks!

感恩石

Carry a “Gratitude Rock.” Leave it in a special place. When you get dressed in the morning, give thanks for something you’re grateful for. Then keep it in your pocket all day. When you get undressed, give thanks again when you put it away. This way, you start and end every day with gratitude. (Duncan Robertson)

身攜一塊“感恩石”，放在一個特別的地方。當你早晨戴上它，感激每一件事情，你的心就會滿滿的，你沒有戴上它也要心懷感激，這樣你一天到晚都是心懷感恩的。

31. Be a Better Listener

更好的聆聽者

You can improve someone’s life right now by “simply listening” when you are with someone! Be more focused on what they have to say, how they are feeling and what they are really trying to tell you. Block out any thoughts that you want to say, simply listen. You honor another person when you focus solely on them, their thoughts, feelings and beliefs without any judgment or interruption! And through this simple act, you not only empower them and make them feel special, but you come away feeling exactly the same. (Chris Schwan)

當你只是聽別人傾訴的時候，你也在提升別人的生活品質(zhì)。要更加專心聽他們說了什么、感覺如何，還有他們真正想表達的是什么，不要打斷別人，同時尊重另一個同樣不帶任何主觀判斷、不任意打擾他們想法、感受和信心的人。這么做不僅可以給他們力量，讓他們覺得自己獨一無二，而且你自己也會有同樣的感覺。

32. Show Your Love in Unexpected Ways

不經(jīng)意的表達愛意

Do something small for your spouse every week. It can be as simple as writing a little love note, or buying a small box of chocolates. Be unselfish. My wife is making me soup right now because I haven’t been feeling good. It’s the little things that make great marriages, too. (Gerrid Smith)

每周幫自己的另一半做點小事--就像寫一張愛的便箋、買一盒巧克力那么簡單的事。要無私奉獻!我的妻子因為我現(xiàn)在不舒服在給我做湯——這也是創(chuàng)造美好婚姻的一件小事。

33. Face Challenges With Courage

勇敢面對挑戰(zhàn)

Life is full of challenges, but how you face these challenges defines your journey. The most arduous and dangerous part of the journey for a caterpillar is its emergence from the chrysalis to become a butterfly. Choose to be happy! Choose to be optimistic! These choices will allow you to emerge as the amazing butterfly that you were destined to be! (Angelina Ghrist)

生活處處充滿了挑戰(zhàn)，但是你的旅程如何取決于你的態(tài)度。旅程中最費力最危險的部分就像一只毛毛蟲在蛹里要破蛹而出的時候。開心點、樂觀點--這會讓你成為從出生就注定成為的美麗的蝴蝶。

34. Forgive a Wrong

原諒錯誤

Make life better today for yourself and others by passing on an opportunity to get “pay back” when an individual has harmed you in the past. Forgiving another for a past wrong can form the basis for a strong and lasting business or personal relationship. Being the bigger person is evidence of strong leadership. (John R. Fritts)

當你給某人曾經(jīng)傷害過你的人一個可以“補償”的機會時，你和別人的生活都會變得更好。原諒別人的過去是形成一段堅實可靠的商務(wù)關(guān)系或人際關(guān)系的基礎(chǔ)。一個更強大的人可以看出他具有較強的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力。

35. Be a Role Model

成為榜樣

Be a role model for your children. Not only will they model themselves after everything you do, but also what you don’t do. (Dana Olmsted Theisen)

成為你孩子的榜樣。他們不僅會模仿你做過的任何事情，也不做你沒做過的事情。

36. Add a Little More Love

多一點愛

Think of the world as a big glass of water with some salt in it. You have a choice. You can try to pick out all the salt or you can keep pouring in more water so eventually it gets less bitter. As you continue your journey in life, I hope you don’t just try to remove everything that you find distasteful in the world, but rather just pour in more love. It’s the only thing that the more you give away, the more you have. (Gordon Smith)

把世界當成一大杯混有一些鹽的水，你必須做出選擇，不然是把鹽分離出來，不然就是加更多的水避免更糟糕的結(jié)果。當你完成自己的旅程時，我希望你不只是搬走某些難吃的東西，而且注入更多的愛。你付出的更多，你收獲的更多。

37. You’re In Control

一切取決于你

No one can make you feel inferior without your permission. (Michelle Miller)

沒有你的許可，別人不會讓你感到自卑。

38. Take 100% Responsibility for Your Communication

為自己的言行負全責(zé)

When you get a response you did not anticipate, don’t blame the other person. Change your words and state your intention until you get the outcome/response you want! You will gain a stronger friendship. So many unnecessary disagreements or misunderstandings can be avoided with this easily adopted belief. (John Milanoski)

當你沒有得到你期待的答案時，不要責(zé)怪任何人。改變自己的言行，表明自己的目的直到你得到你想要的答案或結(jié)果，你會獲得更深厚的友誼，所以在信仰更容易接受時，應(yīng)該避免一些不必要的分歧和誤會。(約翰·米蘭奧斯奇)

39. Celebrate!

慶祝

Show the mind, body, and soul that all the enduring, hard work, and persevering are worth it and have a pay off! When people don’t celebrate their accomplishments, they end up with a bitter glass of victory. (Chris McCants)

在長久的困難的工作面前，表明自己的思想、身形和靈魂并且保護它讓她取得成功。當人們不再慶祝他們的成就時，他們以一杯苦酒結(jié)束。(查爾斯·麥坎特)

40. Go on a “Low Information Diet”

堅持“低信息菜單”

If, by listening to the daily news, reading the newspaper, or listening to talk radio, you get the feeling that the sky is falling, quit! As long as you take in this negative information, that’s what you will dwell on, and that’s what you will create in your life. Remember, only take in information that is helping you reach your goals! (Michael Lindsay)

如果你每天都聽日常的新聞、讀報紙或者是聽脫口秀廣播節(jié)目，你就會覺得天要塌了。一旦你獲得不好的信息，你就會細細想這些信息，也會影響你的生活。記住，要主動去獲得能幫助你實現(xiàn)目標的信息。(邁克爾·琳賽)

41. Vive La Différence!

活力四射

Be true to yourself. Instead of diluting your individuality and personal power by trying to be someone you’re not, identify and then share that unique combination of qualities, experience, skills, and natural abilities that you alone can contribute to the world. When you no longer waste fruitless time comparing yourself to others, you will gain the energy and enthusiasm to find your niche, promote your brand, and experience a level of success you never thought possible. (Liz Pruyn)

真實面對自己，不要因為別人說你不行而減弱自己的個性和力量。確定自己真實的一面，將其和特性、經(jīng)歷、技巧和與生俱來的能力結(jié)合起來，這樣你一個人也可以奉獻自己的力量。當你不再白白花費時間將自己和別人進行比較時，你就會找到你的最大的優(yōu)點、建立自己的商標、擁有你沒想過的成功，因為你從中獲得了能量和熱情。(利茲·普林)

42. Overcome Defeat

克服失敗

When you decide defeat is temporary, it is. When you decide it will ruin you, it does. (Stephanie Kathan)

當你認為爭斗是暫時的，事實的確如此，當你認為爭斗會摧毀你，情況依舊不變。(斯蒂芬妮·康德)

43. Focus on What You Want

專注于你的想法

Think about what you want, not what you don’t want. Guard your thoughts carefully, they create your experiences. (Jessica Maria Carpenter)

思考你想要什么，不想要什么。小心翼翼地保衛(wèi)你的想法，因為他們會變成你的經(jīng)驗。(杰西卡·瑪利亞·卡彭特)

44. Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway

克服恐懼

Fear is the most debilitating thing in the universe. It prevents us from living the life we want. I encourage everyone to think about this: “What would you do if you knew you would not fail?” Just imagine what you could do. (Ritchie Lucas)

恐懼是這世界上最致命的東西，它會組織我們過我們想過的生活。我建議大家思考這句話：“如果你知道你會成功你會怎么做?”想象一下你會怎么做。(里奇·盧卡斯)

45. Give Others the Benefit of the Doubt

給別人的疑惑以鼓勵

With everything and everyone, assume good intent. Be kinder than necessary, you never know someone’s personal struggles. (Julie Spealler Weldon)

對任何人任何事，都假設(shè)一個好的目的。有必要對別人更慷慨點，你就會和別人和平相處。(茱莉亞·斯皮爾·威爾登)

46. Act With Purpose

確定目標

Know why you do what you do. It will enable you to lead with passion. It will lift you when you fall. It will inspire others to join you. (Don Yoakum)

了解你想做的事情的原因，這樣會讓你更有激情實現(xiàn)自己的目標。當你失敗時它會提升你自己，也會有別人加入你。(頓·約克姆)

47. Just Do It!

實施

There’s one way to improve your life now….Live It! Don’t be afraid of taking a flight, boarding a ship, riding a train. Live your life as if your life has meaning. (Barbara Vidal)

現(xiàn)在有一種方法可以提高你的生活質(zhì)量，那就是“活著”，不要害怕戰(zhàn)斗，揚起風(fēng)帆，駕駛列車，活著意味著讓你的生活有意義。(巴拉拉·韋迪)

48. It Really Is All in The Name

名字代表一切

Speak someone’s name to them often and in an affirming tone. It seems the smallest thing that makes the largest difference in children, youth and adults. This little practice of valuing a person by calling their name followed by an encouragement will build trust and cause people to flourish! (Nancy Clegg)

經(jīng)常以肯定的口吻叫出某人的名字，這也是能給孩子們、年輕人和成年人帶來巨大改變的小問題。通過叫別人的名字是一種很有價值的練習(xí)，也會鼓勵別人建立誠信，讓別人更有活力。(南希·克萊格)

49. Make Others Feel Welcome

讓別人受歡迎

Wherever you may be—at the grocery store, at church, or at a baseball game— make sure the people around you feel welcome and included. No one likes to feel left out at any age…right? (Vicki Pellicciotta Anzalone)

不管你在哪里——雜貨商店、教堂還是棒球場——都一定要讓你身邊的人感受到受歡迎和存在感。不管什么年紀的人都不喜歡被人忽視，對嗎?(威馳·佩里茨托亞·安扎隆)
