分享阳光：让别人快乐的20种方式

We have all forgotten about a birthday of a close friend, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make them happy. Surprise them with a thoughtful gift days or even weeks after the fact. Write a little note saying something like, “I kinda forgot about your birthday and feel like a big goof, but hey, this present more than makes up for it, am I right?”
我们大家都忘记了一个好朋友的生日，但这并意味着你不能让他们高兴起来。几天或几星期之后送上一份贴心礼物，给他们一个惊喜。附一张纸条，可以这样说，“我忘了你的生日，感觉像个呆瓜，但是，嘿，这件礼物足以弥补，对吗？”

12.Write a Thank You Note
写封感谢信

If someone helped you move furniture, land a job or prepare for a big project, write a note expressing your gratitude. Make sure they know that if they ever could use your help, you’d be more than happy to return the favor.
如果某人帮你搬家具，找了一份工作或帮你准备了一个大项目，写封信表示感谢。一定让他们知道，如果他们需要你的帮助，你会非常乐意效劳。

13.Dance the Night Away
漫步舞池

This point is mostly targeted to men because I know a lot of you prefer sitting-on-the-side-lines in the club, but don’t you think your partner might like it if you joined her on the dance floor? Your manhood will not wither away and you are not going to look silly, I promise.
这一点主要针对男士，因为你们中大多数喜欢在夜总会里溜边闲坐，但是有没有想过，如果你和她翩翩起舞，她可能更开心呢？我保证，你不会丧失男士气度，而且显得很睿智。

14. Do Some Chores
做家务

If some friends invited you over for dinner, march over to the sink and start working on the dishes without as much as asking if they could use your help.
如果朋友邀请你去家里吃饭，不要多问他们是否需要帮助，主动进厨房洗涮碗碟。

15. Brew a New Pot
冲一壶咖啡

Walking into the break room is a moment of terror that fills all coffee fiends with dread. Save your co-workers from this nightmare by brewing a new pot if you get the last cup.
走进休息室，咖啡瘾君子们唯恐壶中空无一物。如果你喝掉了最后一杯，续一壶新的，免得同事恐慌。

16. Make ‘em Laugh
带给他们欢笑

Share a funny cartoon at the office. Tell a silly joke to your kids. Go to a stand-up comedy show with your partner.
与同事分享一部有趣的卡通片。给孩子讲个笑话。和爱人一起欣赏脱口秀。

17. Listen
倾听

Do you know someone who is having a really hard time? Ask them if they would like to talk about it and listen without judgment or interruption. Sometimes the greatest gift we can offer is silence and understanding.
你认识正在度过难关的某个人吗？问一下他们是否愿意跟你谈谈，不作判断，也不插话，你只是倾听。有时，沉默和理解是你能提供的最伟大的礼物。

18. Tip Generously
慷慨付小费

Surprise your waiter or waitress with a tip that is far above the norm. If your lunch was $10, you could make their day with $5.
付给服务员超出常规的小费，他们会喜出望外。如果花10美元吃午餐，5美元小费可以让他们觉得真幸运。

19. Put Other People First
他人优先

As soon as you walk inside from work, hug your children, kiss your partner, and/or rub your dog’s belly. These people have missed you all day, so express your love to them before you do anything for yourself.
从工作单位一回到家，首先，拥抱孩子，亲吻爱人，摸摸狗狗的肚皮。他们思念了你一整天，所以，在做自己的事情之前，先表达你对他们的爱。

20. Speak Kind Words
甜言蜜语

Send a text, email, or Facebook comment to a friend just to say they are a wonderful person and you are thankful that they are a part of your life. Even better, give a specific compliment about one of their strongest qualities as a person, like, “I just want you to know that I’m really glad we’re friends. You have a way of making me laugh when I need it the most.
”发个短信、邮件，或者在脸谱网上对朋友发表评论：他们多么优秀，感谢他们成为你生活的一部分。甚至还可以做得更好，明确赞赏他们的某一优秀品质，如：“我只想让你知道，我真高兴有你这样的朋友。在我需要放松的时候，你总有办法让我笑。”
