關於幸福生活的五個小貼士
Winnie the Pooh is a kind bear. He cares greatly about his friends.

He’s also a favorite of mine so today I’d like to simply share 5 of my favorite happiness tipsfrom that honey loving bear.
他也是我最喜歡的人，所以今天我簡單分享一下親愛小熊的五點幸福小貼士。
1. Don’t get bogged down in details.
1.不要糾結於細節
“You can’t help respecting anybody who can spell TUESDAY, even if he doesn’t spell it right; butspelling isn’t everything. There are days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn’t count.”
你不得不佩服那些能夠拼寫TUESDAY這個單詞的人，即使他根本沒有拼對。但是拼寫並非一切，有時候它完全沒有價值。
Getting bogged down in details, focusing on the small problems can have advantages. But it canalso make you miss the big picture. What’s really important in your life.
糾結於細節，關注小問題很有好處。但也有可能會使你錯失更重要的東西，你生命中真正重要的東西。
Don’t make the classic mistakes of spending too much time nitpicking or making mountains outof molehills. Relax instead. Focus on the positive things you have and want in your life.
不要對這些常見的拼寫錯誤大驚小怪、小題大做以至於浪費時間。放輕鬆。關注你當下和希冀的生活中積極的東西。
Keep your attention on that. Work towards that. The days may seem long but the years areoften pretty short. So live them instead constantly inspecting, criticizing or overthinking them.
在此方面集中注意力，並努力去做。日子看起來很長，但年歲卻十分短暫。所以好好生活，而不是不斷地在審視、批評或者想太多中度過一生。
2. Be proactive. Take the lead.
2.積極主動做榜樣
“You can’t stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to goto them sometimes.”
“你不能躲在林中的角落裏等着別人來找你。有時你必須自己去找他們。”
It’s easy to get locked into a reactive mindset. You just follow along with whatever ishappening. You do what the people around you do. You react to whatever is going on.
人很容易陷入到被動的心態中，隨波逐流、人云亦云。面對任何事都是這樣的反應。
And so you get lost in your circumstances. This way of thinking doesn’t feel too good. Youtend to feel powerless and like you are just drifting along in life.
所以你對自身情況感到迷失。這種思維方式並不好。你會感到無助，好像你只是在隨波逐流的生活。
Another way of going about things to be proactive. To be the one who takes action first and totake the lead. It’s not always easy though. You have to get out of your comfort zone and itcan feel scary.
從積極的角度對待這件事。成爲行動的第一執行者和帶頭人。這並不容易。你將不得不走出自己舒服的領域，這會讓你感到恐慌。
So to not get lost in procrastination take it one small step at time. Just be proactive insteadof reactive about one little thing in your life today. Start with that action and then build yourproactiveness muscle step by small step.
所以爲了避免陷入拖延時間的困境，每次採取一小步。只有積極主動而不是被動對待今天生活中的一件小事。開始行動起來，然後一步一小步的建立你的積極力量。
3. Keep conversations simple and positive.
3.保持簡潔積極向上的對話
“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but rather short,easy words like “What about lunch?””
和不用冗長又拗口的詞的人交談更有趣，但又不是十分簡短的話，像“午餐吃什麼?”
What do people want in a conversations and relationships?
人們期待一個什麼樣的對話和關係?
Long-winded negative babbling?
冗長的消極的胡言亂語?
Or positive, focused talks where it is interesting to listen, communicate and exchange ideas?
亦或是洋溢着聆聽、交流、交換意見的積極地、集中地交談?
Although the answer probably varies but I’d rather spend most of my time with doing the latter.
儘管答案可能不同，但我寧願花費我的大部分時間在後者。
Three tips that help me to keep the conversation positive and focused are:
三個提示，幫助我保持談話的積極和集中：
Live a positive life. If you focus on the positive in your daily life then it’s usually no problem tokeep focusing on it and talking about it in conversations. More on that in the last tip in thisarticle.
保持陽光的生活。如果你的日常生活就充滿向上，那麼保持積極和談話內容樂觀就不是問題。更多精彩，盡在本文最後一個提示。
Be aware and alert. If you know that you have a problem with excessive ramblings then simplybeing aware of this can help you to stop yourself more and more often before you go off intobabbling.
時刻保持警覺。如果你知道你有過分胡扯的問題，然後簡單的覺察到這一點能幫助你，經常在你開始陷入胡言亂語之前，阻止自己再繼續下去。
Use words that helps you to get through. No need to try to impress people with big andcomplicated words when it’s not needed. Focus on getting through to others andcommunicating by using simple words that anyone can understand.
使用可以幫助你表達清晰的話。沒有必要試圖通過不需要的大而複雜的詞給人留下印象。重點是能使他人理解，使用簡單易懂的詞與人溝通。
4. Do nothing once in a while.
4. 偶爾無爲
“Don’t underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all thethings you can’t hear, and not bothering.”
“不要低估了無所事事的價值，就這麼走走，傾聽那些你沒聽過的聲音，不去打擾。”
Although it feels good to work towards your dreams and doing the things you love I find thatthings tend to go better and I feel better if there is a balance.
儘管朝着自己的夢想努力感覺很美好，做自己喜歡的事情感覺也很美好，但我覺得如果能兩者之間找到平衡肯定會更好。
If I take some time each week to do pretty much nothing. If I just spend time with myself on awalk in the woods or by the ocean for example.
如果我每星期花些時間什麼也不做。如果我只是花時間自己在森林裏走走或是，例如去海邊走走。
By doing so I unload my mind. I relax fully and so life becomes less heavy and burdensomeand I tend to have less stress and worries during the rest of my week.
這麼做我一定能卸下思想中的包袱。我能充分的放鬆自己，生活的壓力和累贅越來越少。在一週餘下的時間裏我會減少壓力和憂慮。
5. Appreciate the little things.
5. 欣賞微不足道的小事
“Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon.”
“沒有人不喜歡氣球。”
Daily happiness is to a large part about appreciating the small things.
最多的日常歡喜來自於對小事的欣賞。
If you just allow yourself to be happy when accomplishing a big goal or when you have somegreat luck then you are making life harder than it needs to be.
如果你只允許自己在完成一個巨大目標或走大運的時候才欣喜，那麼你的人生將過得不必要的艱難。
Instead, focus on appreciating things that you may take for granted.
相反，重點是要欣賞你習以爲常的東西。
Take 2 minutes and find things in your life you can appreciate right now. If you want someideas, here are a few of the simple things that I like to appreciate:
花2分鐘找尋你生命中你可以馬上欣賞到的東西。如果你想要一些建議，這裏有一些我欣賞的簡單的東西：

The funny thing is that if you just start appreciating something you can very quickly startjumping around with your attention and appreciate just about anything around you.
有趣的是，如果你剛開始欣賞某物，你能很快開始跳脫你思維和欣賞你周圍的任何事物。
You may start with the food you are eating right now. Then move your attention to the phoneand appreciate that you can contact anyone – and be contacted by anyone – you’d like.
你也許正在吃飯，你會轉移你的注意力到手機上，欣賞你可以接觸到的每一個人——無論是誰只要你願意就能聯繫上。
You might then move your attention outside, through the window and see the wonderfulsunshine, then kids having fun with a football and then the tree by the road turning intowonderful autumn colors. And so on.
你可能會將注意力轉移到外面，透過窗戶看到美好的陽光，孩子們開心的在踢球，然後道路旁的樹變成美好的金黃色，等等。

也許聽起來沒什麼大不了，但簡單的兩分鐘練習就能幫助你發現日常生活的幸福美妙。
