Recently, I celebrated another birthday. As I look back at how quickly time passes, I am amazed at how much can change in a matter of a year. I think we go through cycles of change when the complete unexpected throws you off your equilibrium giving you the opportunity to reassess and recalibrate. 不久前我庆祝了又一个生日。回首往事,时间确如白驹过隙,一年之中可以发生怎样的变化啊!我觉得我们在经历变化循环。当完全出乎意料的事情打破你的旧平衡,就是给你机会重新估价自己并校正方向。 This past year was one of those cycles for me and slowly but surely the pieces that were thrown up in the air are falling into place. At a time of reflection, Id like to share with you some of the things I have learned. 对我来说,过去的一年是那些循环中的一环,慢慢地却确信无疑地被抛起然后回落的过程。反思之余,希望能与你分享我的一些心得。 1. The difference between happy people and unhappy people is their level of gratitude. 快乐的人与不快乐的人的不同,在于他们对生活抱有多少感激。 If you observe anyone who is miserable, you will notice they are never satisfied and constantly blaming their history, luck or other people for their struggles. If you observe happy people, they are full of gratitude. 在观察痛苦感伤的人时,你会发现他们总是不满足于现状并且不停地抱怨自己的过去、运气或别人的竞争。在观察快乐的人时,你会发现他们满怀感激。 |
