HAPPINESS
When you were a kid, happiness wasas easy as cuddling a puppy. Fast forward totoday and happiness is more about makingmoney and materialism than truly enjoyingyourself. Whilst nothing would make mesmile as much as a massive pay-rise, moneycan't buy happiness. Your bank balance dependsentirely on your salary but your happinessbalance depends solely on you. Let'sface it - nobody else can make you happy.Happiness is something you have to createfor yourself.
尚為孩童之時，幸福來得就像擁抱一隻小貓小狗那樣容易。隨著時光的流逝，今日的幸福早已物化，不再是自己對美好生活的享受，而是和賺錢聯繫在了一起。除了工資飛漲以外，似乎再也沒有什麼能夠讓我開懷，然而金錢卻無法買得幸福。你的銀行存款和你的薪水緊密相連，但幸福的存摺全然取決於你自己。讓我們直面它吧——除了自己，沒有什麼人能夠讓你感受到幸福。幸福是需要自己創造的。

我們許多人覺得，幸福是一種奢侈品，而事實上，你可以逐步讓生活發生積極的轉變，在幸福的階梯上邁進一點兒也不難。
1 Exercise more 多些運動
Living a healthy lifestyle makes you happy and the best boost of all comes from exercise.Exercise makes you feel good about yourself and promotes feelings of well-being and happiness.Connecting with nature is also associated with joy and contentment, so take a hike ina park, or go swimming in a lake. No matter what you do for exercise, enjoy it!
用健康的方式生活會讓你幸福，而健康的最佳推動力來自於運動。運動會讓你感覺良好，讓你更加快樂、安康。擁抱大自然也是愉悅和滿足的源泉，你可以在公園裡去遠足，去湖中暢遊。盡情享受運動吧!不管採取什麼方式。
2 Get rubbed the right way 用良好的方式按摩
Go for a massage at least once a week. A 30-minute massage is not very expensive and isgreat for relieving stress and improving your mood. A good massage is a definite happinessbooster.
每星期至少做一次按摩。一次三十分鐘的按摩花不了多少錢，但卻能緩解壓力，釋放心情。一次不錯的按摩絕對是獲得快樂的良劑。
3 Start the day positively 積極地開始每一天
Heading to work on Monday morning can seem awfulbut starting off in the right way can make the morningsa little more rosy. Before leaving for the office, get somefresh air, have a bath, eat a good breakfast. Sure, you'llhave to get up a little earlier, but it will be worth it. You'llbe in a good mood by the time you start work. Also, achange to your work space, such as a bunch of flowers,a poster or some photos will make your time at workmore enjoyable.
每周一的清晨不得不去工作實在讓人頭疼，但擁有一個好的開始可以讓這樣一個早晨充滿美麗色彩。在去辦公室之前，呼吸一下新鮮的空氣，洗個沐浴，吃頓喜歡的早餐。沒錯，為了這麼做你可能得早起一會，但這絕對是值得的。這會讓你在絕佳的狀態中開始一天的工作。還有，調整一下你的工作空間，比如，一束花，一張貼畫，一些照片，都會使你的工作時間變得更令人享受。
4 Act childish when nobody is looking 在沒人的時候表現得稍許孩子氣
Think back on the things that gave you joy as a child or teenager and do something youenjoyed as a kid that you have not done for years or decades. You don't always have to bedignified, mature, adult and serious - especially when you are alone. Dress up in somethingwacky, blow bubbles, jump in a sprinkler etc. Do anything that will give you a good laugh.
回想一下你童年和少年時那些讓你開心的東西，做一些你小時候喜歡做的事情，可能你已經幾年或者幾十年沒有做過了。你並不需要總是老成持重、沉穩嚴肅——尤其是當你獨處的時候。你大可以穿得古怪邋遢，吹吹肥皂泡，鑽進噴水池。去做任何能令你開懷大笑的事情吧。
5 Savour Your Time 調劑你的時間
With mobile phones, the internet and television,it's hard to make regular time for yourself.Schedule some chill-out time, just likeyou would a doctor's appointment. Thenturn off your mobile phone and indulge inyour favorite activities. Don't let anythinginterfere. Enjoy.
手機、網絡和電視讓我們很難過上平靜有秩序的生活。計劃一些份外的時間，就像要預約看醫生一樣。關掉手機，沉浸到你喜歡做的事情中去。不要讓任何事情幹擾到你。盡情享受自己的時間吧。
