Keep learning

不断学习

Learning keeps us young and dreams keep us alive. When we engage our brains and put them toward productive uses, we’re less likely to dwell on unhappy thoughts and much more likely to feel happy and fulfilled.

学习让我们保持年轻，梦想让我们充满活力。我们运用大脑，进行运作的时候，我们就不大会想不开心的事情，我们会变得更开心和满足。

Be grateful

学会感激

Slow down, look around you, and pay attention to the little details in your life – the delicate purple flower on the sidewalk, the beautiful sunset, the hot shower that washes away your long day, and the smile in your partner’s eyes.

让自己变慢脚步，看看你的四周，关注生活中的细微之处：人行道上淡紫色的花，美丽的日落，洗去你一天疲惫的淋浴，伴侣眼中的笑容。

When you have a grateful heart that is appreciative of life’s beautify, wonder and blessings, you’re automatically filled with happiness.

当你的感恩之心能够欣赏生活的美，思考和祝福，你自然就充满了幸福感。

Choose your friends wisely

明智地选择自己的朋友

According to Harvard, the most important external factors affecting individual happiness are human relationships.

So if you want to be happy, choose to be around people who are optimistic, who appreciate you as you are, and who can make your life richer, bigger, more fun, and more meaningful.

根据哈佛，影响个人幸福最重要的外部因素是人际关系。所以如果你想变得开心的话，要选择和乐观的朋友在一起，他们能欣赏真实的你，让你的生活变得更丰富、快乐、有意义。

Live in the present

活在当下

When you feel depressed, you’re living in the past. When you feel worried or anxious, you’re living in the future. But when you feel content, happy and peaceful, you’re living in the present.

你感到沮丧，是因为你活在过去。你会感到担忧和焦虑，是因为你活在未来。但是当你感到满足，开心和平和时，你才是活在当下。

Cultivate compassion

培养同情心

When we try to step into other people’s shoes and understand a situation from another’s perspective, we’re more likely to handle the situation with compassion, objectivity and effectiveness. There will be less conflicts and more happiness.

当我们代替别人，站在另一个角度看问题，我们更能用同情心，客观和有效地处理问题。生活中就会少一些冲突，多一点快乐。

Practice forgiveness

学会原谅

Resentment and anger are forms of self-punishment. When you forgive, you’re actually practicing kindness to yourself.

And most importantly, learn to forgive yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. It’s through our mistakes that we learn and grow to become a bigger and better person.

憎恨和生气是对自我的惩罚。当你释怀的时候，事实上你是在对自己施以善意。最重要的是，学会原谅自己。每个人都会犯错。只有通过我们的错误，我们才慢慢学会如何成为一个更强大，更好的人。
