谁动了你的幸福:10个坏习惯偷走幸福
老是纠结于困难
Times of adversity will inevitably affect the conditions in which you live and work; yet you don’t have to let it affect who you are and where you’re headed. Take note of the setbacks and adjust to them, but don’t expand on them by making them a bigger part of your life.
困境的确会影响你的生活和工作,但别让它影响到你这个人和你的目标。记下这些挫败,调整一下,而不是任由其发展,让它们成为生活中的一大部分。
Every day brings new lessons and new possibilities. There is always a way to take the next step forward on the path you’ve chosen. Events may be terrible and inescapable at times, but you always have choice.
每天都会带来新的内容和可能性。自己选择的路,迈出下一步之前都还有余地。事情也许会变得恐怖或无法逃避,但你一直都有选择权。
7. Constantly seeking fleeting contentment.
寻求短暂的满足感
There are two variations of contentment in life – fleeting and enduring. The fleeting type is derived from instants of material comfort, while the enduring type is attained through the gradual growth of your mind. At a glimpse it might be difficult to decipher one from the other, but as time rolls on it becomes vividly obvious that the latter is far superior.
人生有2种满足感——短暂的和长久的。物质上的满足带来短暂的满足感,而长久的满足感则是来源于精神上的成长。也许一时之间很难在两者之间做出抉择,但随着时间的流逝你就会明白后者才更值得争取。
Enduring contentment sustains itself through life’s ups and downs, because through them your mind remains confident and at peace.
人生起起落落,持久的满足会一直陪伴着你,因为无论发生什么,你都会一如既往的保持自信和平和。
8. Trying to make a big difference all at once.
期待一鸣惊人
If you want to make a difference in the world, start with the world around you. Making a big difference all at once is usually impossible, and the process of trying is extremely stressful. However, instantly making a difference in a few lives is entirely possible and usually fairly easy. You just have to focus on one person at a time and start with the one closest to you.
如果你想影响世界,先从自己身边的世界做起吧。想要一鸣惊人真的不大么可能,过程也会异常艰辛。然而,在生活中做些小改变绝对可行还相对简单哦。你只要一次关注一个人,就从关系最近的那个开始吧。
Work to make a bunch of small splashes, and let the ripples spread naturally. If you want to change a person’s mind or mood, sometimes you have to change the minds or moods of the people around them first. For instance, if you make one person smile, their smile just might make others smile too. In this subtle way, you can touch the masses with your thoughtfulness without stressing yourself out.
从小事做起,让影响慢慢如涟漪般散开。如果你想改变一个人的想法或者心情,有时候你要做的是先改变他周围的人。比如,你想要让一个人笑,就得先让其他人也笑起来。用这种方法,你既可以慢慢完成自己的想法,还不会倍感压力。
9. Holding on to someone who hurts you.
放不开伤害过你的人
Sometimes you have to walk away from people, not because you don’t care, but because they don’t. When someone hurts you time and time again, accept the fact that they don’t care about you. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but it’s necessary medicine. Do NOT strive to impress them any further. Waste not another second of your time trying to prove something to them. Nothing needs to be proven. Do not act with any thought of them ever again.
有时候你要离开一些人,不是因为你不在意他们,而是他们不在意你。如果有人一次又一次的伤害你,那么你该醒醒了,他们根本就不在意你。良药苦口。别再试图改善在他们眼中的印象,别再浪费时间向他们证明什么,你不需要证明任何东西,别再为他们做任何事。
10. Over-amplifying the importance of physical attractiveness.
过度夸大外表的重要性
Infatuating yourself with someone simply for what they look like on the outside is like choosing your favorite food based on color instead of taste. It makes no sense. It’s innate, invisible, unquantifiable characteristics that create lasting attraction.
靠外表来选对象,从某种程度而言就是通过颜色而非味道来选择食物。毫无意义,看不见的且无法计算的内在品质才是真正持久的魅力。
