快乐的人所拥有的21个习惯 (21 Habits of Happy People)

We’ve all seen people who are always happy – even amidst agonizing life trials. I’m not saying happy people don’t feel grief, sorrow or sadness; they just don’t let it overtake their life. The following are 21 things happy people make a habit of doing:
在我们身边总能发现一些积极阳光的人——即便他们正处于人生的阴暗时期。快乐的人永远也不会感到痛苦、难过和失落，不，这不是我要说的意思；快乐的人也会体验到痛苦与悲伤，只不过，他们不会让这些消极的情绪主宰生活。快乐的人有哪些积极的习惯呢？想必你也很想知道：

1. Appreciate Life
Be thankful that you woke up alive each morning. Develop a childlike sense of wonder towards life. Focus on the beauty of every living thing. Make the most of each day. Don’t take anything for granted. Don’t sweat the small stuff.
1.珍惜生活
带着感激之心，唤醒你每一天的生活。像小孩子那样，对生活充满好奇心。以欣赏的眼光去看待身边的一切。不虚度每一天弥足珍贵的光阴。不要想当然地以为一切都该是这样子的，不要忽视了生活中的细微之事或物。

2. Choose Friends Wisely
Surround yourself with happy, positive people who share your values and goals. Friends that have the same ethics as you will encourage you to achieve your dreams. They help you to feel good about yourself. They are there to lend a helping hand when needed.
2.注意交友
与积极阳光的志同道合的人交朋友。真正的朋友，会在你需要的时候伸出援助之手；真正的朋友，让你看到最好的自己；真正的朋友，鼓励你追随梦想的脚步。

3. Be Considerate
Accept others for who they are as well as where they are in life. Respect them for who they are. Touch them with a kind and generous spirit. Help when you are able, without trying to change the other person. Try to brighten the day of everyone you come into contact with.
3.体贴
尊重别人，尊重他们的个性与特点。不要试图改变别人，以宽广之心待人，在你力所能及之时给予对方帮助。不论是谁在命运的召唤下与你相逢，试着以最好的自己去点亮对方的生活，给他们带去美好的感觉。

4. Learn Continuously
Keep up to date with the latest news regarding your career and hobbies. Try new and daring things that has sparked your interest – such as dancing, skiing, surfing or sky-diving.
4.终身学习
时刻关注着于你而言意义重大的最新资讯，如职业或兴趣爱好方面的消息。尝试去做些你从未尝试过的，却又激发了你的兴趣的事情——如跳舞、滑雪、冲浪或跳水。

5. Creative Problem Solving
Don’t wallow in self-pity. As soon as you face a challenge get busy finding a solution. Don’t let the set backs affect your mood, instead see each new obstacle you face as an opportunity to make a positive change. Learn to trust your gut instincts – it’s almost always right.
5.迎接挑战
生活不可以自怜自哀。一旦挑战降临，你就要马不停蹄地去寻找解决之道。绝不能因为一些挫败而影响了你积极的心态，每一个障碍都是一次机遇。相信自己的直觉——去解决问题。

6. Do What They Love
Some statistics show that 80% of people dislike their jobs! No wonder there’s so many unhappy people running around. We spend a great deal of our life working. Choose a career that you enjoy – the extra money of a job you detest isn’t worth it. Make time to enjoy your hobbies and pursue special interests.
6.做自己喜欢做的事情
数据表面，有60%的人并不喜欢他们的工作！怪不得有那么多不快乐的人满世界晃悠着。职业生涯占据了我们生命之旅中的很大一部分时光，选择一份你所喜欢的工作——而不是一份高薪却体验不到快乐的工作。一定要留出些时间，给你的兴趣爱好一个发展的空间。

7. Enjoy Life
Take the time to see the beauty around you. There’s more to life than work. Take time to smell the roses, watch a sunset or sunrise with a loved one, take a walk along the seashore, hike in the woods etc. Learn to live in the present moment and cherish it. Don’t live in the past or the future.
7.享受生活
每天带着发现美的眼光去生活。工作之外，还有许许多多值得你去关注的事物。你要记得，停下匆匆忙忙的步伐，闻一闻玫瑰花香；找些空闲，沿着海岸散会步；去林间空地，徒步登山。不要或者过去，也不要活在未来；要活在当下，要珍惜当下。

8. Laugh
Don’t take yourself – or life to seriously. You can find humor in just about any situation. Laugh at yourself – no one’s perfect. When appropriate laugh and make light of the circumstances. (Naturally there are times that you should be serious as it would be improper to laugh.)
8.笑
对自己也好，对人生也罢，不要那么严肃拘谨。几乎在任何一种场合，你总能找到令人欣然一笑的地方。没有人是完美的，自我解嘲一笑了之也不妨。时机恰当时，不妨笑起来，营造一个欢?
