5.Happiness and Satisfaction Are Different
快乐和满意不一样

We can want more than we currently have and still be happy with what we've got. Wanting more does not have to get in the way of enjoying what we already have. If it does, we will never have enough.
我们现在拥有,我们想要的更多,我们也会因为现在的拥有而感到快乐。想要更多,并不会阻碍我们享受现在已有的东西。如果你无法享受现在的拥有,那你永远也不会满足。


6. It's All Relative
一切都是相对的

A person who lives in a $100,000 house in a neighborhood of $75,000 homes experiences living in a mansion. The same house in a neighborhood of $500,000 homes may feel like a hovel.
在7.5万美元的小区里,住着10万美元房子的人会觉得自己住的是别墅;同样的房子换到50万美元的小区里,他会觉得自己住的是茅舍。


7. Help yourself by Helping Others
帮助别人其实也是帮助自己

The holidays are a great time to reach out to other people in need. And helping others address their needs is one of the best ways to relieve the anxiety we may feel about our own.
节假日是向其他需要帮助的人伸出援手的好机会。帮助他们,满足他们的需要,也是缓解我们自身焦虑最好的方法之一。


8. We All Have Something to Give
我们总是有东西可以给予

No matter how difficult our circumstances may be, we can all offer support to those around us. Whether it’s a penny, a dollar, or much more, the act of giving always makes us feel as if we have more than we thought we had.
也许我们的境况很艰难,可是不管怎么样,我们都还是能支持身边的人,也许只是一点点钱,可是这样给予的过程会让我们感到,我们其实拥有很多。
