5、Learn to forgive

Let go of anger and resentment by writing a letter of forgiveness to a person who has hurt or wronged you. Inability to forgive is associated with persistent rumination or dwelling on revenge, while forgiving allows you to move on.

5、学会原谅

   给伤害或错怪过你的人写一封原谅信，让愤怒和怨恨随之而去。如果不懂得原谅，与此相关的会是持续思考、没完没了地想着如何报复，而原谅则让你继续前进。

6、Invest time and energy in friends and family

Where you live, how much money you make, your job title and even your health have surprisingly small effects on your satisfaction with life. The biggest factor appears to be strong personal relationships.

6、对朋友和家庭投入时间和精力

   你的居住地，赚钱多少，职务高低，甚至是健康状况，对你的生活满意程度的影响，都是出人意料的渺小。最重要的因素在于牢固的人际关系。

7、Take care of your body

Getting plenty of sleep, exercising, smiling and laughing can all enhance your mood in the short term. Practiced regularly, they can help make your daily life more satisfying.

7、照顾好自己的身体

   保持睡眠充足、适当运动、微笑和大笑都能在短时间内使你情绪高昂。有规律地做这些事情，它们可以有助于使你的日常生活更令人满意。

8、Develop strategies for coping with stress and hardships

There is no avoiding hard times. Religious faith has been shown to help people cope, but so do the secular beliefs enshrined in axioms like “This too shall pass” and “That which doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.” The trick is that you have to believe them.

8、制定出应对压力和困境的策略

   总会有不可避免的困难时候。宗教信仰已经表明能够帮助人们应付困难，那些如同公理般被长期铭记的信条也有同样效果。例如，“这个难关总会过去”，“压不倒我，反而让我变得更坚强”。奥秘在于你得相信它们。
