A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often and realize how fortunate you are right now. Life is just like a big swing, dangling between the depths of happiness and sadness. As soon as we descend down the slope of sadness, we accelerate over the ever-feel-good acclivity of happiness.
好生活就是不瞎想，做得多，要得少，常微笑，你才會意識到你現在是多麼的幸運。而生活就是一架大鞦韆，總在開心和憂愁中搖晃。每當我們陷入憂愁的低谷時，我們又開始衝向開心的上坡。
Difficulties always arise in our lives. The most important thing is dealing with the hard times, coping with the changes, and getting through to the other side where the sun is still shining for us. When life presents you a hundred reasons to cry, just show life back that you have a thousand reasons to smile. Here are 6 tips to help you live a good life.
生活中困難出現在所難免。最重要的是你要挺過艱難的日子，積極應對各種變故，度過黎明前的黑暗，迎接始終在等你的燦爛陽光。當生活給你一百個理由哭泣，你就拿出一千個理由回擊笑給它看。以下有六個助您過上陽光燦爛生活的秘訣。
Think of how many things don’t get done in this world simply because people are waiting for the perfect time, place or circumstance. The real world doesn’t reward perfectionists. It rewards people who get things done. And the only way to get things done is to be imperfect 99% of the time. Just focus on the main problems.
想想這世界上有多少事情只是因為人們等待最好的時間、地點或環境才沒有做成的。真實的世界不會去獎賞完美主義者。它會獎賞做成事情的人。做成事情的唯一方法就是在99%的情況下不那麼完美。抓住事情的主要問題。
This could be anything. Some people take an active role in what they are fond of, some find refuge in religious faith, some find passion in their careers. Actually, in each case the psychological outcome is the same. They engage themselves in something they strongly believe in. This engagement brings happiness and meaning into their lives.
這可以指任何事情。有些人積極參與熱愛的事情，有些人在他們的宗教信仰中尋求安慰，有些人則在他們的事業中尋找激情。其實，每一種情況所帶來的心理結果是一樣的。他們投入到了自己所堅信的事情中。這種投入給他們的生活帶來了幸福和含義。
3. I cannot, and will not try, to please everyone.
No matter what you do or how you do it, there will always be people that disagree with what you’re doing. That’s life. That’s diversity and individualization. So don’t try to please everyone. Simply do what you know is right. And remember, it doesn’t matter how many people don’t get it, it matters how many people do.
不論你做什麼或者怎麼做，總是會有人反對你正在做的事情。這就是生活。這就是差異性和個性化。因此不要設法取悅每一個人。只做你認為是正確的事情。記住，有多少人不明白這一點並不重要，重要的是有多少人明白這一點。
In life, you get what you put in. When you make a positive impact in someone else’s life, you also make a positive impact in your own life. The more you help others, the more they will help you. Never look down on doing little things for others. Sometimes, those occupy the biggest part of your hearts.
在生活中，你的付出會得到回報。當你對另一個人的生活帶來了積極的影響，你也會給你自己的生活帶來積極的影響。你幫助別人越多，他們就更想幫助你。勿以善小而不為。有時候，你所做的這些小事會成為你們心中最重要的部分。
Positive thinking is at the forefront of every great success story. The mind must believe it can do something before it is capable of actually doing it. The way to overcome negative thoughts and destructive emotions is to develop opposing, positive emotions that are stronger and more powerful. Regardless of how a situation seems, focus on the next positive step forward.
積極思考是每一個偉大的成功故事的首要前提。頭腦中必須先認為可以做成某事，然後才是真的有能力做成某事。戰勝負面思想和消極情緒的一個方法就是培養對立的積極的更強大有力的情緒。不管處境看起來如何，專注於下一步要邁出的積極的一步。
The world around you changes when you change. If you awake every morning with the thought that something wonderful will happen in your life today, and you pay close attention, you』ll often find that you’re right. The opposite is also true. The choice is yours to make. Life is just a mirror, if you smile on it, it smiles back on you.
周圍的世界隨著你的改變而改變。如果你每天早上醒來時想著今天會有好事發生，你就會對此多加留意，而好事也真的就會降臨。反之亦然。如何選擇，由你決定。生活就像一面鏡子，你對它笑，它就對你笑。
Judy Garland once said, 「Always be a first rate version of yourself instead of a second rate version of somebody else.」 Live by this statement. There is no such thing as living in someone else’s shoes. The only shoes you can occupy are your own. Change your perspective, you will see the world differently through a brighter lens.
朱迪·加蘭曾經說過，「永遠做一流版本的自己，而不做二流版本的別人。」照著這句話來生活。在人生路上，你不可能和別人走一樣的路，你只能走自己的路。換個角度，你會透過一個更陽光的視野看到不同的世界！
