1. 品味生活瞬间

停下来闻闻玫瑰的花香或者看着孩子玩耍。像那些花时间品味匆匆过去日常生活的人学习，或者想想过去快乐的日子，就像心理学家Sonja Lyubomirsky所说：“增加快乐，减少烦恼”。

1. Savor Everyday Moments

Pause now and then to smell a rose or watch children at play. Study participants who took time to “savor” ordinary events that they normally hurried through, or to think back on pleasant moments from their day, “showed significant increases in happiness and reductions in depression,” says psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky.

2. 少攀比

向邻居看齐是美国文化的一部分，然而与他人攀比会损害我们的快乐和自尊。根据Lyubomirsky所说，代替与他人攀比，关注我们个人的成就，会产生更大的满足感。

2. Avoid Comparisons

While keeping up with the Joneses is part of American culture, comparing ourselves with others can be damaging

   Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.

An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.

　　十七世纪中叶的中国文人张潮在他所著的《幽梦影》中， 有许多关于读书的妙论， 随手批出两个来： “春雨宜读书。” “读经宜冬，其神专也； 读史宜夏， 其时久也； 读诸子宜秋，其致别也；读诸集宜春，其机畅也。”这说的全是读书所宜的时节，是时间上的。

 

　　还有一种读书所宜的氛围，来得并不比这时节逊色，这是地理空间上的。入什么庙念什么经，进什么山唱什么歌。读书随境而迁，因地而异， 终也不失那“神专、 时久、致别、机畅”的三昧。

　　

　　在北京的时候， 《日下旧闻考》、《帝京景物略》、《燕京岁时记》、《长安客话》等是手边常翻之书。客居纽约以后，关于纽约的历史文化论著成了我的览读中心。及至搬到毗邻哈德逊河的乡间上学的时候，便专寻当地的作者或描写当地风物历史的著作。灯明茶热之时，读着搜寻得来的文字，初来乍到的异地感觉也渐渐为一种文化的温暖乡情悄悄融化了。

原来草蜢在我生日那天开了演唱会，我说怎么这么高兴呢。

     Smiles send us light in the darkness. Smiles bring us warm sunlight on a cold winter day. Smiles can break the ice. Smiles are like rainbows. Rainy days end and the sky is beautiful again.

     Smiles show love and friendship. Teachers' smiles encourage us. Mothers' smiles warm us. Friends' smiles make us feel closer.

     We welcome smiles from others. And we should give others our smiles too. No one is richer than a man who often smiles at others. If a man doesn't smile at you, just smile at him. Smiles help you forget your sadness. Lif

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.


If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.


If you are successful, you will win some false friends
And some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.


If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building,
Someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.


If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.


The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Be good anyway.


Give the world the best you have,
And it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway

挤迫的街飞快的钟
急促令你失控
身边找到只有匆匆
一天葬于工作中
抑压着的心过重
令每一刻都剌痛
将你闷郁交予我
来热热烈烈地放松
来吧三分钟放纵
不羁的放纵
because of you baby
来吧三分钟放纵
来吧不羁放纵
because of you baby
〔just because of you〕
抛开不安跟我轻松
一起舞走苦痛
高声欢呼抒发心胸
一起踢走心暗涌
感觉任他跑跳碰
活泼的心解了冻
将你郁闷交与我
来热热烈烈地放松
