换个角度：好生活在等你

A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often and realize how fortunate you are right now.  It’s about the simple pleasures that make you happy, the compassionate deeds you perform, the personal goals you strive to achieve, the relationships you nurture and the legacy you leave behind. Here are ten commandments to help you live a good life.
好生活就是不瞎想，做得多，要得少，常微笑，意识到你现在是多么的幸运。它是关于让你幸福的简单乐事，你所做的善事，你努力去实现的个人目标，你所维护的关系，以及你所留下的遗产。以下是帮助你过上好生活的十条戒律。

1.I am not perfect and I will not try to be.
我并不完美，我也不要设法让自己完美。

Think of how many things don’t get done in this world simply because people are waiting for the perfect time, place and circumstance. The real world doesn’t reward perfectionists.  It rewards people who get things done.  And the only way to get things done is to be imperfect 99% of the time.
想想这世界上有多少事情只是因为人们等待最好的时间、地点和环境才没有做成的。真实的世界不会去奖赏完美主义者。它会奖赏做成事情的人。做成事情的唯一方法就是在99%的情况下不那么完美。

2.I cannot, and will not try, to please everyone.
我不可能，也不会去设法取悦每一个人。

No matter what you do or how you do it, there will always be people that disagree with what you’re doing.  That’s life.  So don’t try please everyone.  Simply do what I know is right. And remember, it doesn’t matter how many people don’t get it, it matters how many people do.
不论你做什么或者怎么做，总是会有人反对你正在做的事情。这就是生活。因此不要设法取悦每一个人。只做我认为是正确的事情。记住，有多少人不明白这一点并不重要，重要的是有多少人明白这一点。

3.I will take part in something I believe in.
我会参与到我所相信的事情当中。

This could be anything.  Some people take an active role in their city council, some find refuge in religious faith, some join social clubs supporting causes they believe in and others find passion in their careers.  In each case the psychological outcome is the same.  They engage themselves in something they strongly believe in.  This engagement brings happiness and meaning into their lives.
这可以指任何事情。有些人积极参与市议会的活动，有些人在他们的宗教信仰中寻求安慰，有些人参加联谊会来支撑他们所坚信的目标，其他人则在他们的事业中寻找激情。每一种情况所带来的心理结果是一样的。他们投入到了自己所坚信的事情中。这种投入给他们的生活带来了幸福和含义。

4.I will prioritize my obligations and do important things first.
我会按优先顺序排好我的义务，首先做最重要的事情。

Set priorities for yourself and act accordingly.  It’s the only way to get things done. It’s the only way to turn a dream into a reality.
将自己的事情划分好轻重缓急，然后照此去做。这是做成事情的唯一方法。这是将梦想变为现实的唯一方法。

5.I will choose my friends wisely.
我会明智地选择朋友。

Your friends are family you choose.  So make sure you choose friends who are worthy of your time and attention. Surround yourself with people who reflect the person you want to be.  Choose friends who you are proud to know, people you admire, who love and respect you – people who make your day a little brighter simply by being in it.
朋友就是你所选择的家人。因此确保你所的朋友是那些值得你付出时间和精力的人。你想成为什么样的人，就和这样的人交朋友。选择那些值得你为之骄傲钦佩的人做朋友，同时他们也要爱你、尊敬你。只要有这些朋友在身边，你的生活就会更美好。
