害怕、悲傷、焦慮都是人性的一部分。接納這些情緒，並把它們當 成自然之事。允許自己偶爾的失落和傷感。
然後問問自己，能做些什麼來讓自己感覺好過一點。一味地拒絕接納自己正面或負面的情緒，將導致挫折感和不快樂。
（Give yourself permission to be human. When we accept emotions -- such as fear, sadness,
or anxiety -- as natural, we are more likely to overcome them. Rejecting our emotions,
positive or negative, leads to frustration and unhappiness.）
2.幸福是快樂與意義的結合。
一個幸福的人，必須有一個明確的、可以帶來快樂和意義的目標， 然後努力地去追求。
真正快樂的人，會在自己覺得有意義的生活方式裡，享受它的點點滴滴。不論是在工作或是在家，
要在每一件事上尋找並賦予其意義。即使行不通，也要有一種渴望，確信一週之中必有一件事能帶來快樂與意義。
（Happiness lies at the intersection between pleasure and meaning.
Whether at work or at home, the goal is to engage in activities that are both personally significant and enjoyable.
When this is not feasible, make sure you have happiness boosters,
moments throughout the week that provide you with both pleasure and meaning.）
3.快樂求之於內心。
快樂不是來自身分地位或銀行的財富。
除了特殊的情況，我們的快樂取決於我們對事情的看法(水杯滿的或空的部份)，以及我們對外在事件的解讀。
我們把失敗看成一個災難，還是一個學習的機會，決定我們快樂與否。
（Keep in mind that happiness is mostly dependent on our state of mind,
not on our status or the state of our bank account. Barring extreme circumstances,
our level of well being is determined by what we choose to focus on
(the full or the empty part of the glass)
and by our interpretation of external events. For example,
do we view failure as catastrophic, or do we see it as a learning opportunity?）
4.簡化生活。
一般人都太過忙碌，把許多的活動壓縮在很少的時間內完成。
工作 量影響工作品質，而且事情太多、太複雜會擾亂自己，造成混亂的生活，也降低了幸福。
（Simplify! We are, generally, too busy, trying to squeeze in more and more activities into less and less time.
Quantity influences quality, and we compromise on our happiness by trying to do too much.）
5.注意身心健康。
記住心靈的健康與身體的健康相連結。規律的運動、適當的睡眠，
以及健康的飲食習慣，能大有助益於你的身體，以及心靈的健康。
（Remember the mind-body connection. What we do -- or don't do --
with our bodies influences our mind. Regular exercise, adequate sleep,
and healthy eating habits lead to both physical and mental health.）
6.無論何時，儘可能表達感激。
生活中，不要把你的家人、朋友、健康、教育、工作等這一切當成理所當然的，
它們都是可令你回味無窮的禮物。記住他人的點滴恩惠，從人群到食物，從大自然到一個微笑，始終保持感恩之心。
（Express gratitude, whenever possible. We too often take our lives for granted.
Learn to appreciate and savor the wonderful things in life, from people to food, from nature to a smile.）作者: 呆呆 時間: 2010-12-15 01:45
