每天要问自己的5个问题 你的答案是什么？

Life is full of small questions: What will I wear to my meeting? What’s for lunch? Subway or cab?
生活里琐碎的问题源源不绝：穿什么去开会？午饭吃什么？乘地铁还是打车？

Small questions are important as they facilitate the day to day running of our lives. The problem is, most people do not pause to ask themselves the big questions. The real questions. The questions that will change our lives for the better. Often we do not take a moment and think about what really matters to us and what our contribution to the world is. Our wise old friend Socrates said "an unexamined life is not worth living."
琐碎的问题很重要，因为它们让我们的日常生活运转流畅。问题是大多数人不会停下脚步来问问自己一些重要的问题、真正的问题。那些可以让我们的生活变得更好的问题。我们经常忘了抽出点时间来想想到底什么事情最重要，还有我们为这个世界做了些什么事情。著名的哲学家苏格拉底曾经说过：“混混噩噩的生活不值得过。”

1. How happy am I overall, today, out of 10?

Take into account all areas of your life when you do this. Whatever your number is, be honest about it with yourself. Then you can get real about what you can do to increase it.
回答这个问题时，你要考虑到生活里的各个方面。不管你得了几分，坦诚面对吧。之后你就能清楚自己能做些什么来提高开心指数。

2. What type of life do I want to lead?
我想要过什么样的生活？

Think about your life 10 years from now. Are you satisfied with your life if it is to continue exactly as it currently is? Are you content with your relationships, work, health? Picture the ideal life you could be living. How is it different? Visualizing helps us understand what it is that we can be doing differently now.
想想你10年之后的生活。如果那时你的生活和现在一模一样，你会觉得满意吗？你对你的爱人、工作以及健康状况满意吗？想象一下你理想中的生活状态。和现在有什么不同？想象让我们知道自己现在需要做出什么改变。
