生活因变化而精彩:5种方式打造精彩生活
建立长期的人际关系
Suppose you had everything you wanted. Would you be happy without anyone to share it with? The personal relationships we develop with friends and family members are the greatest source of happiness in our lives. Don’t forget about them.
假设你拥有了你想要的一切。如果没有人和你分享,你还会快乐吗?我们和朋友家人之间建立起来的人际关系是我们生命中快乐的最大来源。不要忘记这一点。
Taking the time to cultivate and enjoy personal relationships is essential to longterm happiness. Without the people you care about you’ll probably be miserable, no matter how successful you become.
花时间打造并享受人际关系对于长久的幸福来说是必不可少的。没有那些你在乎的人,不管你有多成功,你都可能会活得很痛苦。
5. Work Towards a Dream You’re Passionate About
朝一个你怀有激情的梦想努力
Even if your life isn’t perfect, you can always build towards a goal you’re passionate about. If you aren’t building towards something, you’re probably stagnating. When this happens to me I start to feel like a victim trapped by my own life. The best way to reverse this is working towards a goal.
即使你的人生不完美,你也可以朝着自己怀有激情的目标去努力。如果你没有努力的目标,你可能会停滞不前。当我遇到这种情况时,我会觉得自己像一个被自己的生活困住的受害者。想要扭转这个局面,最好的办法就是朝着一个目标努力。
We can’t control everything about our lives, but working towards a goal gives us something positive to focus on and lays the foundation for future success. No matter what your passion is, get out there and start doing something. As Lao Tzu said, even a journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step.
我们不能控制生活中的每一件事情,但是朝着一个目标努力会给我们一些正能量,让我们专注,并且为未来的成功打下基础。不论你的激情是什么,行动起来,开始做些事情。就好像老子说的:千里之行始于足下。
Bonus: 6. Stay in Shape
附送第6点:保持身材
You only get one body. Once it’s been ruined there isn’t much you can do about it. Exercise to keep the rust off. Avoid excessive consumption of damaging substances and unhealthy foods. It may feel like terrible self denial at the time but enjoying good health in your later years is worth the sacrifice.
你只有一个身体。一旦身体受损,你做什么都于事无补。运动起来,别让身体生锈,避免过量摄入有害物质和不健康的食品。有时候也许会感到可怕的自我否定,但在晚年时拥有健康会让这些牺牲都值得。
