美文欣赏：幸福生活的20句锦言

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.

每当我进入一个房间的时候，我总是认为自己是最幸福的人，大部分的人都会立刻注意到我的微笑。下面是20条习惯，可以让你和我一样幸福。

1. Let it go.

1.顺其自然

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.

当有人批评你或说你坏话时，别往心里去。人类历史上还发生过比这更糟糕的事情呢。即便你知道这个人不是在开玩笑，记住，学会接受并相信自己的能力会让你变得更强大。

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，喜欢贬低别人以求得自身的安全感。但当你友善地对待他人时，他们也会用友善回报你。

3. Think of your problems as challenges.

3.把问题看做挑战

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.”

遇到困难时，不论这困难是人还是事，想想你将会从中学到什么。记不清是坎耶维特斯(Kanye West)还是尼采(Nietszche)曾说过，“那些杀不死我的东西，只会让我变更强。”

4. Express gratitude.

4.学会表达感谢

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.

时时对人表达感谢之意会使他们在未来更愿意帮助你。说一句“谢谢”不仅仅是礼貌——凡事都有因果报应。

5. Dream big.

5.理想远大

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.

最幸福的人已经达到马洛斯需求层次的最高层次——自我实现。想要幸福，你就得努力工作取得些成就，并努力实现人生目标。
