　　6. Spend some time simply being and breathing.

　　花些时间关注自己，深呼吸

　　The only way to live happily ever after is one day at a time. Just be, breathe, and think not about what you’re missing, but what you’ve been given. Happiness is something that comes into our lives gradually through the doors we don’t even remember leaving open.

　　过上幸福生活的唯一方法是珍惜唯一的每一天。只要活着感受呼吸，不要去想你失去了什么，要想想你得到了什么。幸福从那些我们都遗忘了的大门里渐渐地闯进了我们的生活。

　　7. Learn something new.

　　学习一些新东西

　　It’s important to remember that you cannot become who you are capable of being by remaining exactly where you are. If you are not willing to learn and grow, no one can help you. But if you are determined to learn and grow, no one can stop you. In the end, there are no permanent jobs on this planet; we are all interning here. Learn from everyone, evolve, remain humble, and don’t forget to have a good time.

　　有一点很重要：如果是原地踏步，你不可能成为原本你能成为的那个人。如果你不愿意学习和成长，没人能帮助你;但如果你决意要学习和成长，也没人能阻拦你。最后，在这个星球上没有一份永远的工作：我们都是实习生。从别人身上学习、发展、保持谦逊，当然也不要忘记享受生活。

　　8. Look in the mirror, and tell yourself what you love about yourself.

　　看着镜子，告诉自己你爱自己什么

　　What we see in the mirror is what we see in the world. Our disappointment in others perfectly reflects our disappointment in ourselves. Our acceptance of others perfectly reflects our acceptance of ourselves. Our ability to see potential in others perfectly reflects our ability to see potential in ourselves. Our patience with others perfectly reflects our patience with ourselves. You get the idea – you’ve got to show yourself some love first.

　　我们在镜子里看到的便是我们在这个世界里看到的，对别人的失望反映出我们对自己的失望，接纳他人反映出我们接纳自己。我们看到了他人身上的潜能反映出我们也能够看到自身的潜能，对他人的耐心反映出我们对自己的耐心。你懂的，首先你要爱自己。

　　9. Focus on the qualities you like about those around you.

　　关注周围人中你喜欢的特质

　　Whenever we focus on a person’s wonderful qualities, we have a wonderful relationship with them. Whenever we focus on a person’s not so wonderful qualities, we have a not so wonderful relationship with them. What we focus on grows in our minds and hearts.

　　当我们关注了他人的美好特质，我们便会和他们保持很好的关系。当我们关注了他人差劲的品行，我们和他们的关系便不太友好。那些我们关注的会融合在我们的思想和心灵深处。

　　10. Say “yes” to a spontaneous opportunity.

　　抓住可遇而不可求的机会。

　　Everything in life can’t be planned. Some of the greatest opportunities will knock on your door when you least expect them to. Be flexible, be spontaneous, and just say “yes.”

　　生活中的一切都不能被硬性计划起来。一些伟大的机遇将会在你最不经意的时候敲响你的门。要灵活，要随性，只说“是” 就好。
