- 章节名:Chapter 1-20
1. Your life has purpose and meaning. Consider this: nothing would be the same if you did not exist. 2. Use a strategy for happiness. Happy people let themselves be happy. Unhappy people continue doing things that upset them. ……surveys show that happy and unhappy people tend to have had very similar life experiences. The difference is that the average unhappy person spends more than twice as much time thinking about unpleasant events in their lives, while happy people tend to seek and rely upon information that brightens their personal outlook. 3. You don’t have to win every time. Ultracompetitive people, who always need to win, end up enjoying things less. If they lose they are very disappointed, and if they win it’s what they expected would happen anyway. 4. Your goals should be aligned with one another. ……Life satisfaction was associated with the consistency of life goals. Goals regarding career, education, family, and geography were each important, and together add up to about 80 percent of satisfaction. 5. Choose your comparisons wisely. Many of our feelings of satisfaction or dissatisfaction have their root in how we compare ourselves to others. ……Even though the truth is we have exactly the same life either way, our feelings about our life can very tremendously based on who we compare ourselves with. 6. Cultivate friendships. People need to feel that they are a part of something bigger, that they care about others and are cared about by others in return. 7. Turn off the TV. Television is a creamy filling that distract us from the substance of our lives. Watching too much TV can triple our hunger for more possessions, while reducing our personal contentment by about 5 percent for every hour a day we watch. 8. Accept yourself - unconditionally You are, just like everyone else, an almost inconceivably complicated mix of abilities and limitations. 9. Remember where you came from. Think about and celebrate your ethnicity……There is tremendous comfort in knowing your ethnic heritage. It gives you a history, a sense of place, a uniqueness that remains no matter what else is going on around you. 10. Limit yourself to thinking about one subject as you lie down to sleep. 11. Friendship beats money. If you want to know if people are happy, don’t ask them how much money they have in the bank. Don’t ask how large their take-home salary is. Ask them about their friends. 12. Have realistic expectations. People who are happy don’t get everything they want, but they want most of what they get. In other words, they rig the game in their favor by choosing to value things that are within their grasp. 13. Be open to new ideas. Never stop learning and adapting. The world will always be changing. If you limit yourself to what you knew and what you were comfortable with earlier in your life, you will grow increasingly frustrated with your surroundings as you age. 14. Share with others how important they are to you. Relationships are built on mutual appreciation, and there is no better way to show that appreciation than to tell someone how much you care. 15. If you’re not sure, guess positively. Any situation can be viewed as an act of selfishness, if that’s how you want to view it. Taking this perspective make you cold, critical, and cynical. And there’s no way out of it, because a person we view negatively cannot do anything to improve our impression of them. We need to consider that our perspective on what motivates people can either be a source of comfort to us or a source of alarm. 16. Believe in yourself. Don’t write yourself off. The ability to do anything must be accompanied by the belidf that we can do it. As important as learning how is learning that you know how. There is an old saying, “Whether you believe you can or you believe you can’t, either way you’re right.” 17. Don’t believe in yourself too much. Believing in yourself means thinking you are a capable person, not that you will never make a mistake. Don’t think that because you are a talented person you cannot learn from others or you should never be criticized or others want to know how highly you think of yourself. 18. Don’t face your problems alone. 19. Age is not to be feared. 20. Develop a household routine. Set up a reasonable schedule to do your work, and instead of facing an endless chore, you will have a list of tasks to accomplish each day.
