padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Today we're going to go over my top 5 tips for learning English with movies and TV. Many people successfully learn English this way, and the great thing about it is that you're learning something in context, not isolated like in a vocabulary list.</span> </p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">今天我想跟大家分享看电视电影学英语的5个绝佳妙招。很多人通过这种方法熟练掌握英语,这样学习的好处在于,你可以结合语境,而不是单纯照着词表背单词。</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"> </p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">And this will really help you remember it. In addition, you're learning from a native speaker, so your pronunciation should be much more accurate than if you're learning from a book if you do it right.</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">这样学习记得更牢。而且你还可以直接跟母语者学习,只要方法得当,这样你学到的发音会精确很多,远远胜过光靠书本默读。</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"> </p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">But learning English from movies and TV does NOT happen automatically. Unless you're using the tips I'm about to teach you, you won't be learning as much English as you could.</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">不过看电视电影学英语也不是无师自通的,除非你运用了我教的小技巧,学习英语的效果会更好。</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"> </p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">But if you DO make these tips a part of your regular movie and TV watching habits, you'll have a powerful new learning tool that's always available to you! Now, this is not about relaxing and unwinding watching TV or a movie, this is about learning. It's an active experience, part of your studies.</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">如果你能将这些小技巧融汇到日常观影习惯中,就掌握了一项语言学习的新利器。请注意,你不能抱着放松身心,舒缓精神的心态来观影。这是在学英语,要付出努力,这是学习过程的一部分。</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"> </p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Let's get started. Tip 1: Work at your level. If listening comprehension is a big challenge for you, and you want to work on that specifically, start with a simple scene involving just a few people in a quiet environment.</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">我们开始吧!第一个小技巧: 量力而行,如果听力对你来说比较困难,你想重点锻炼一下,那就从人物较少,相对安静的场景开始。</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"> </p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">I really like dramas because I think in general the pace of speaking is a little slower. HER is a great movie for this: slow pace, clear speech. "What's the rush?" That was relatively easy to understand.</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">我很喜欢剧情类影片,因为相对来讲语速较慢《她》这部电影非常合适,语速慢、发音清晰。"着什么急?"比较容易听懂吧。</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"> </p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">If your listening comprehension is very good and you're just looking to pick up new vocabulary or phrases, or you want to challenge your listening comprehension, you can do this by trying a scene in a noisy room, or a scene where people are speaking with a non-standard accent.</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">如果你的听力已经很好,想学习新的词汇和表达。或者进一步提升难度,挑战自我,可以选择环境嘈杂的场景,或者角色讲话带口音的影视作品。</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"> </p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">"It's that or we both better go do something else, pal." That was likely much harder to understand. So, work at a level that's right for you. One that's not so challenging that you understand almost nothing.</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">"就得这样,不然咱们只能改行了,哥们儿"这样大概比较难懂。总之,要根据自己的水平量力而为,不要选几乎完全听不懂的素材。</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"> </p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Tip 2: Use a video player that has the right tools: a toggle for subtitles and a way to easily skip back in the video. Both Netflix and HBO Go have these features, and no they did not pay me to say this.</span> </p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">第二个小技巧: 选择合适的播放工具,可以通过控制栏调出字幕快进快退那种。Netflix和HBO Go的界面都有这种功能,我不是在帮他们打广告啦!</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"> </p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">On YouTube, you can do a search on a topic that interests you, and filter it. so you'll only see videos with a closed captioning file.</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); text-align: justify;">你也可以在YouTube上搜索自己感兴趣的话题,运用过滤器筛选,<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">这样你就可以看到</span>带官方字幕的视频。</p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"> </p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">But the YouTube player doesn't have a way to easily jump back a few seconds like Netflix or HBO Go, they have a skip back 10 seconds button and I think if you can afford a subscription to one of those services, it's really useful.</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;">不过<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">YouTube</span>视频播放器不太容易快退,不能像Netflix或HBO Go那样退后几秒,那两家有后退十秒的按钮,所以我觉得经济条件允许的话下可以考虑订阅一下,很有帮助。</p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"> </p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Let's go on to tip 3 to see why. Tip 3: Use subtitles and the following method to learn. Step 1 is to listen without the subtitles. When you hear something you don't understand, or a word you don't know and it's okay if that's pretty frequent, pause the player.</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">我们再来看第三个小技巧告诉你原因,第三个小技巧:善用字幕。跟随以下方法学习,第一步不看字幕裸听。当你听到一 些不懂的内容,或者某个不懂的单词,经常碰到也没关系, 先暂停播放。</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"> </p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Go back 10 seconds and listen again, pause it. Can you figure it out? Write down as much of the sentence as you can in a notebook that you have just for this purpose. Use an app if you like, but I prefer writing by hand.</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;">后退十秒的继续听,再暂停。这回听出来了吗?把听出来的全部记下来,专门准备一个笔记本记录这些,手机应用当然也行,我比较喜欢手写。</p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"> </p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Then, turn on the English subtitles and go back and listen again. Listen and watch with the subtitles on. Now, maybe the part you didn't get is a brand new word that you've never seen or heard before. Great, this is an awesome way to learn new vocabulary.</span></p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;">之后打开字幕,倒回去再听一遍,带字幕重新看一遍,或许你没听懂的是个生词,之前没有碰到过。这很好,这样积累词汇也不错。</p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"> </p><p data-flag="normal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; line-height: 30px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Write the word down, look up the definition, and write down the sentence you heard it in. Even write down the show or the movie and the scene. Remembering this context will absolutely help you remember the word.

You may not be aware of it. You may not be conscious of it. But your values shape your decisions, and your decisions shape your life. If you value money more than happiness, your life might be full of expensive things, but there will be no joy in that experience. 你的所思,所感,所做,都源于你的信仰和价值观。你可能不知道这点,你可能没有意识到这点,但是你的价值观塑造了你的决定,你的决定塑造了你的人生。如果你认为钱比幸福重要,那么你的生活可能会充斥着昂贵的东西,但却没有乐趣。 Your values signal what is important to you. They are emotional states that show you what is important, and what you want to experience. Imagine how different your life would be if you changed a value of money and replaced it with the value of love. Creating and stating your values consciously can change the direction of your life. If you decide to apply any of these values to your life, in your own words, in your own way, your own life will be one of more value! The following, are the 10 most important human values. 你的价值观意味着对你而言什么是重要的。你的价值观是一种情感状态,它们让你知道什么是重要的,你想经历什么。试想,如果你将金钱至上的价值观换成真爱至上的价值观,你的人生会有什么不同?在你的人生中创造、并用自己的话语、自己的方式去阐释你的价值观,那么你自己的人生就会变得更有价值!以下是十种最重要的价值。 Number 1. Health and energy. This might be the most important value of all to some people. It will be the most important value of all to some of those who have experienced serious health problems. Without physical health, it is very unlikely you can experience and enjoy all the other values at their deepest levels. Great health gives you energy and vitality which enables you to dive deeper into the more important things in life, and give more energy and time to those you love. Make the value of health and energy a priority in your life, by learning what daily nutrition and exercise is best to fuel your body. What would it take, for you to be at your physical peak? Learn it. Apply it. 第一,健康和活力。对于有些人来说,这可能是最重要的价值。对于那些曾经遭遇过严重的健康问题的人而言,它是至关重要的。没有身体上的健康,你就不可能充分地体验和享受其他的人生价值。良好的健康状态给你活力和生机,这让你探索生命中更深刻的东西,让你把更多的精力和时间放在你爱的人身上。去了解什么样的营养物质和运动对于身体而言是最好的,从而让健康和精力成为你人生中最重要的价值取向。 Number 2. Love. The overuse of this word makes it easy to misunderstand the true meaning of it. This is not just romantic love, but love of all things. True, non-judgmental love. The love you have for your family, friends. The love you have for your favorite things. The love you have for your passion, and your mission. Making love a priority in your life means there is no room for hate or indifference. You could experience love doing anything or with anyone. You could experience love in yourself, by yourself. How would your life change if you valued love higher? 第二,爱。这个词已经被滥用了,因而我们很容易误解它真正的意义。这不仅仅是浪漫之爱,更是对所有事物的爱。是真挚的,没有区别对待的爱。是你对家人的爱,是你对朋友的爱。是你对你最喜欢的事情的爱。是你对你的热忱、你的使命的爱。让爱成为生命中的优先选择,意味着憎恨和冷漠在你的生命中根本没有容身之地。和任何人做任何事都能让你体验到爱。你能以自己的方式感受到,爱就在你心里。如果你把爱看得更重要,你的生活会发生什么样的变化? Number 3. Gratitude and appreciation There's truly no greater power on earth than gratitude. Real gratitude shuts down all other negative emotions in the moment. So, how important is gratitude to you? Well, how important is it for you to feel good? If it is important, you must make gratitude a top value and practice it as a priority every day. It costs you nothing, but makes you so rich. It takes nothing away from anyone else, but it gives you so much power. How much more magical would your life be, if you lived in a constant state of appreciation for everything that is great in your life? 第三,感恩和感激。在这个世界上,最强大的力量就是感激。真正的感激能让所有消极的情感在顷刻之间烟消云散。那么,感激对于你而言有多重要?它能使你感到愉快吗?如果它能,那么你必须将它视为最重要的价值,每天都去实践,去应用它。它并不需要你付出多少,但却能让你的世界变得丰富。它不会向任何人索取一丝一毫,但却会给予人们巨大的力量。如果你能把对生命中万事万物的感激变成你的生活常态,你的生命会比以前有趣多少? Number 4. Kindness and compassion. The world would certainly be a better place if people showed more kindness and compassion. Less judgement, more respect. It's placing yourself in someone else's shoes before you judge them. Have you ever noticed how good it feels when you are kind to someone for no reason? It feels good to be kind, because it is right to be kind. What would your life be like, what would your world be like if you valued kindness and compassion more? 第四,善良和同情。如果人们能表露出更多的善良和同情,这个世界肯定会变得更好。少些指点,多些尊重。这意味着,在你对他人做出评判之前,要将你自己放在他人的角度换位思考。你有没有注意到,当你无条件地对某个人友好的时候,那种感觉有多棒?善良使我们感到愉悦,因为善良是正确的选择。如果你把善良和同情看得更重要,你的生活和你的世界会变成什么样呢? Number 5. Integrity. Knowing you do the right thing, even when no one is watching, and no one will know either way. The inner knowing you always do what is right. That brings pride and it brings inner peace. When you value integrity you value doing what is right. It is such a powerful value that not only makes a difference in your own life, but also sets a powerful example to all those close to you. It brings honesty and trust. How would your life be different if everyone knew you as a person of integrity? 第五,正直。这意味着就算没有人正在看着你,无论如何都不会有人知道,但你还是会选择做正确的事。这是你的内心对你所做之事的肯定。你会从中得到自信和内心的平静。你重视正直,你就会认为做正确的事是重要的。这是一个非常强大的价值观,它不仅让你的生活发生改变,更让你成为身边的人的好榜样。它会为你带来真诚和信任。如果所有人都知道你是一个正直的人,你的生活会发生什么样的变化? Number 6. Giving. This ties in with kindness and compassion. As humans we are built to give. Not just give money, or things, but give ourselves fully to others in need. To serve, selflessly. Karma always ensures what you give is returned, but that is not why you give. You give because that is your nature. It's not an effort. It is natural. It feels good and you know there is no lack. How differently would you feel if you valued giving higher in your life? 第六,奉献。它和善良、同情是一脉相承的。我们是人类,我们天生热爱奉献。我们不仅奉献金钱、物品,还会尽全力去帮助有需要的人。奉献,无私的奉献。有因就有果,你付出的,总有一天会以某种形式回来,但这并不是你去奉献的原因。这不是一种努力,这是一种天性。奉献让你感到快乐,而且你知道这是源源不断的。如果你把奉献看得更重要,你有什么样的感受? Number 7. Growth. Human beings are wired to grow. Growth comes from experience, from learning, from failures, from achievements, from intention. Intention to get better. This doesn't mean get better so you can "win". It means getting better so you can give more to the world. So you can experience more. Enjoy more. It's about becoming the greatest version of yourself. Not just for yourself, but for others. Setting the example of what is truly possible. Reaching your highest potential with intention. How much better would your life be, when you valued growth higher on your list? 第七,成长。人类总是在成长。成长来自于经历,来自于学习,来自于失败,来自于成就,来自于目标。让自己变得更好的目标。这并不意味着,你变得更好是为了"赢"。这意味着,你变得更好是因为这样你就可以为这个世界奉献更多,这样你就可以有更多的经历。这意味着你要成为最好的自己,不仅是为了自己,更是为了他人。你树立了一个榜样,让他人知道,什么是真正可能实现的事。带着个人目标,去开拓你的潜力。如果你把成长看得更重要,你的生活会变好多少? Number 8. Peace. Ahhhhh peace. Nothing more needs to be said. It's getting to that place of needing nothing. It's being alone, and being in bliss. It's presence. It's reaction-less. It's the silence at the peak of the mountain. How high do you value peace? How much better would your life be if you had more peace in it? 第八,平静。啊,平静。一切尽在不言中。这是到达一个无欲无求的境界。这意味着你享受独处,享受快乐。这意味着体验当下。这意味着心静无为。这是登到山顶后那种内心的平静。你认为内心的平静有多重要?如果你生活中有更多平静,你的生活会是什么样的? Number 9. Family, friendship and connection. It's caring about someone more than you care about yourself. It's putting others first. It's making time for people you care about. It's giving the people you love, and maybe even strangers, your complete presence, and building that connection. It's making someone else's day better just because you were in it. It's bringing your best self to every encounter, so the other person walks away with a smile. How different would your life be, and countless others, if you took this approach? Will you value connection higher on your list? 第九,家人,友情,人际关系。这意味着在乎他人多过在乎你自己。这意味着将他人放在首位。这意味着为你在乎的人留出更多时间。这意味着把专注的陪伴给予你爱的人,甚至可能是陌生人,并且努力去维持这个关系。这意味着他人因为有你的存在而变得更加愉快。这意味着以最好的自己去遇见每一个人,这样那个人就会笑着和你道别。如果你这样做,你的生活会发生什么样的改变?他人的生活会发生什么样的改变?你会不会把人际关系看得更重要呢? Number 10. Happiness. It's joy. It's playfulness. It's Fun. It's Non-Seriousness. It's a state of real happiness. When time stops and you love what you are doing. It's what we all seek. But we do it in so many different ways. Some try to find it through money. But no type of paper is going to bring it to you. Some try to find it through achievements and success, but they come up empty. It's within, and it's a choice. It's always available and never on sale. You decide when you make this a priority and a top value. How different would your life be if you had happiness as your highest value? 第十,幸福。这是愉悦,这是幽默,这是乐趣,这是随性。这是一种真正开心的状态。这是时间静止、行你所乐的感觉。这是我们所有人都追寻的东西。但不同的人有不同的做法。有的人尝试在金钱中寻找幸福。但无论多少钱都不能带来真正的幸福。有的人尝试通过成功找到幸福,但当他们获得这些之后,却发现自己依然空虚。幸福是内心的感受,幸福是一种选择。它无处不在,它是买不到的。什么时候才重视幸福?这是你的决定。如果你将幸福看作最重要的价值,你的生活会有什么不同?</span></font></pre></div>Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05316479681829995980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237072617737824299.post-7239963048102670232019-01-30T16:12:00.001+08:002019-01-30T16:12:29.278+08:00春节相关的英语短语和祝福<div dir="ltr"><p style="margin:5px 0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"sans serif",tahoma,verdana,helvetica;font-size:12px">Greeting Season:</p><p style="margin:5px 0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"sans serif",tahoma,verdana,helvetica;font-size:12px">春节 The Spring Festival</p><p style="margin:5px 0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"sans serif",tahoma,verdana,helvetica;font-size:12px">农历 lunar calendar</p><p style="margin:5px 0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"sans serif",tahoma,verdana,helvetica;font-size:12px">正月 lunar January;

Are You? You Are Every Single Day<div style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7;">
You are the books you read, the films you watch, the music you listen to, the people you meet, the dreams you have, and the conversations you engage in. You are what you take from these.<br />
You are the sound of the ocean, the breath of fresh air, the brightest light and the darkest corner.<br />
You are a collective of every experience you have had in life.<br />
You are every single day.<br />
So drown yourself in knowledge and existence.<br />
Let the words run through your veins and let the colours fill your mind.<br />
-Jacque Fresco</div>

A 24-year-old boy seeing out from the train's window shouted . . .<br />
"Dad, look the trees are going behind!"<br />
Dad smiled and a young couple, sitting nearby, looked at the 24-year-old's childish behavior with pity. Suddenly he again exclaimed . . .<br />
"Dad, look the clouds are running with us!"<br />
The couple couldn't resist and said to the old man . . .<br />
"Why don't you take your son to a good doctor?"<br />
The old man smiled and said, "I did and we are just coming from the hospital. My son was blind from birth. He just got his eyes today."<br />
Every single person on the planet has a story. Don't judge people before you truly know them. The truth might surprise you.</div>

Thank you all. Thank you so much. You know, it's hard to believe that it has been eight years since I first came to this convention to talk with you about why I thought my husband should be president.<br />
<br />
谢谢各位,谢谢。真是令人难以置信,八年就这样过去了。八年前,我第一次站在这个大会上告诉诸位,为什么我的丈夫应该成为总统。<br />
<br />
Remember how I told you about his character and convictions, his decency and his grace, the traits that we've seen every day that he's served our country in the White House?<br />
<br />
大家还记得吗,我向你们介绍他的品质与信念,说着他的正派与慈悲,以及他在白宫为国操劳的每一天向我们展现的所有优点。<br />
<br />
I also told you about our daughters, how they are the heart of our hearts, the center of our world. And during our time in the White House, we've had the joy of watching them grow from bubbly little girls into poised young women, a journey that started soon after we arrived in Washington.<br />
<br />
我那时还向各位说起我们的女儿,说起她们是我们宝贝的心头肉,是我们眼里世界的中心。在白宫度过的这段时光里,我们欢欣地看着她们从热情活泼的小女孩长大为举止沉稳的年轻女性,这是一趟自我们抵达华盛顿之时就已开始的成长旅程。<br />
<br />
When they set off for their first day at their new school, I will never forget that winter morning as I watched our girls, just 7 and 10 years old, pile into those black SUVs with all those big men with guns.And I saw their little faces pressed up against the window, and the only thing I could think was, what have we done?<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
我永远不会忘记她们第一天出发去新学校的场景。那个冬天的早晨,我目送我们7岁和10岁的女儿钻进黑色的SUV车里,陪着她们的全是持枪的壮汉。我看着她们把小脸贴在车窗上往外张望,那时候我想到的唯一一件事是:我们这是做错了什么?<br />
<br />
See, because at that moment I realized that our time in the White House would form the foundation for who they would become and how well we managed this experience could truly make or break them.<br />
<br />
对,就是在那一刻,我意识到,在白宫的日子将会对她们的成长蜕变起到至关重要的影响。我们若能好好地应对这段经历,这段日子将会成就她们;如果不能,这些经历则会把她们带入歧途。<br />
<br />
That is what Barack and I think about every day as we try to guide and protect our girls through the challenges of this unusual life in the spotlight, how we urge them to ignore those who question their father's citizenship or faith. How we insist that the hateful language they hear from public figures on TV does not represent the true spirit of this country. How we explain that when someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don't stoop to their level. No, our motto is, when they go low, we go high.<br />
<br />
这就是我和巴拉克每一天所思考的问题。我们努力地引导我们的孩子,保护她们不受这聚光灯之下的不寻常生活的伤害,鼓励她们不去在意别人对她们的爸爸的国籍或信念的质疑。我们坚持让她们相信,电视上那些公共人物说出来的满带恨意的话并不能代表这个国家真正的精神。我们向她们解释,有些人可能残忍而霸道,但这不意味着你可以堕落到与他们一样。绝不可以,我们的信条是,当别人往道德的低处走时,我们要继续向高处前行。<br />
<br />
With every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us. We as parents are their most important role models. And let me tell you, Barack and I take that same approach to our jobs as president and first lady because we know that our words and actions matter, not just to our girls, but the children across this country, kids who tell us I saw you on TV, I wrote a report on you for school. Kids like the little black boy who looked up at my husband, his eyes wide with hope and he wondered, is my hair like yours?<br />
<br />
我们知道,父母的言行举止时时刻刻都被孩子们所关注,我们是她们最重要的榜样。我想告诉各位,巴拉克和我一直以同样的心态对待总统与第一夫人的工作。因为我们深知,我们所说的话,我们所做的事,不仅仅被自家孩子所关注,更同时被这个国家所有的孩子听到和看到。这些孩子可能会对我说,"我在电视上看过你"或是"我在一份作业里写了你",也可能就像那个抬头带着希望看着我丈夫的黑人小男孩,心里充满好奇,"我的头发和你的是一样的吗?"<br />
<br />
And make no mistake about it, this November when we go to the polls that is what we're deciding, not Democrat or Republican, not left or right. No, in this election and every election is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives.<br />
<br />
毫无疑问,今年11月我们去投票时,要做的就是这样一个决定,不是选择民主党或共和党,也不管左翼右翼之分。就同每一场选举一样,这场选举决定的是由谁来掌握一个大权,由谁来影响塑造孩子们生命中接下来的四年或六年。<br />
<br />
And I am here tonight because in this election there is only one person who I trust with that responsibility, only one person who I believe is truly qualified to be president of the United States, and that is our friend Hillary Clinton.<br />
<br />
今晚,我站在这里,因为在这场选举中,只有一个人,让我放心地将这个责任交付;只有一个人,我相信真正有能力胜任美国总统一职。这个人就是我们的朋友,希拉里•克林顿。<br />
<br />
That's right.<br />
<br />
就是如此。<br />
<br />
See, I trust Hillary to lead this country because I've seen her lifelong devotion to our nation's children, not just her own daughter, who she has raised to perfection, but every child who needs a champion, kids who take the long way to school to avoid the gangs, kids who wonder how they'll ever afford college, kids whose parents don't speak a word of English, but dream of a better life, kids who look to us to determine who and what they can be.<br />
<br />
我坚信希拉里能够领导这个国家,因为我见证了她以一生奉献予这个国家的孩子们,不仅仅是她那被栽培得近乎完美的女儿,更包括每一个需要保护的孩子——保护每一个需要走长长的路上学的孩子不受到犯罪团伙的伤害,帮助那些困惑于为何自己负担不起大学费用的孩子、那些自己的父母并不懂得说一句英语但自身梦想过上更好生活的孩子、那些等待着我们去决定他们的未来的孩子。<br />
<br />
You see, Hillary has spent decades doing the relentless, thankless work to actually make a difference in their lives, advocating for kids with disabilities as a young lawyer, fighting for children's health care as first lady, and for quality child care in the Senate.<br />
<br />
如你们所见,希拉里在几十年间一直任劳任怨地工作,为的是真正地使孩子们的生活有所不同。当她是个年轻律师时,她就为残障儿童的权益发声;后来她成了第一夫人,她为孩子们的医疗保障奔忙;在国务卿任上,她依然在为孩子们争取高质量的保育环境。<br />
<br />
And when she didn't win the nomination eight years ago, she didn't get angry or disillusioned. Hillary did not pack up and go home, because as a true public servant Hillary knows that this is so much bigger than her own desires and disappointments. So she proudly stepped up to serve our country once again as secretary of state, traveling the globe to keep our kids safe.<br />
<br />
并且,八年前她竞选失利之后,她并不恼怒,也没有灰心丧气。希拉里没有打包走人,因为作为一个真正的公共利益服务者,她懂得这份事业比个人的欲望与失望重要得多。所以,她又挺身而出,以国务卿的身份为我们的国家服务,为孩子们的安全走遍全球。<br />
<br />
And look, there were plenty of moments when Hillary could have decided that this work was too hard, that the price of public service was too high, that she was tired of being picked apart for how she looks or how she talks or even how she laughs. But here's the thing. What I admire most about Hillary is that she never buckles under pressure. She never takes the easy way out. And Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life.<br />
<br />
很多时候希拉里都可以抱怨她的工作有多难,为人民付出的代价有多大,自己的外貌或言语甚至笑容时刻被人指责有多心累。可是,我最佩服她的一点,就是无论面对多大的压力,她都不会垮掉,也从来不会偷懒。在她的世界里,永无放弃可言。<br />
<br />
And when I think about the kind of president that I want for my girls and all our children, that's what I want.<br />
<br />
所以,当我想象一个能为我的女儿和所有孩子带来美好和希望的美国总统的样子,这就是我想要的。<br />
<br />
I want someone with the proven strength to persevere, someone who knows this job and takes it seriously, someone who understands that the issues a president faces are not black and white and cannot be boiled down to 140 characters.<br />
<br />
我想要一个真正有能力坚持下去的人,一个了解这份工作、严肃对待它的人,一个懂得总统面对的问题不是非黑即白,也不能短短归结为140个字的人。<br />
<br />
Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military in your command, you can't make snap decisions. You can't have a thin skin or a tendency to lash out. You need to be steady and measured and well-informed.<br />
<br />
因为当核武器的发射密码就在你指尖,并且手握着整个国家军队的时候,你不可以做出轻率的决定。你不能死要面子,也不能一戳就发火。你必须运筹帷幄、深思熟虑、见识广博。<br />
<br />
I want a president with a record of public service, someone whose life's work shows our children that we don't chase fame and fortune for ourselves, we fight to give everyone a chance to succeed.<br />
<br />
我心目中的总统,要有从事公众服务的纪录,用毕生工作向孩子们证明,我们奋斗的目标不是追名逐利,而是让每个人都有成功的机会。<br />
<br />
And we give back even when we're struggling ourselves because we know that there is always someone worse off. And there but for the grace of God go I.<br />
<br />
就算当我们苦苦挣扎的时候,也要回报这个社会,因为总有人的生活比你还艰难。我们没吃他们的苦,是因为上帝眷顾。<br />
<br />
I want a president who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters, a president who truly believes in the vision that our Founders put forth all those years ago that we are all created equal, each a beloved part of the great American story.<br />
<br />
我想要的总统,应当告诉孩子们,我们国家的每一个人都很重要。他要深信国父们数百年前的理念,人人生而平等,每一个人都是伟大美国历史珍视的一部分。<br />
<br />
And when crisis hits, we don't turn against each other. No, we listen to each other, we lean on each other, because we are always stronger together.<br />
<br />
当危机到来时,我们绝不分崩离析。我们互相倾听,相互扶持,因为团结才会让我们更加强大。<br />
<br />
And I am here tonight because I know that that is the kind of president that Hillary Clinton will be. And that's why in this election I'm with her.<br />
<br />
今晚我在这里就是想告诉大家,希拉里就会是这样一位总统。这就是为什么在这场大选中,我站在她的一边。<br />
<br />
You see, Hillary understands that the president is about one thing and one thing only, it's about leaving something better for our kids. That's how we've always moved this country forward, by all of us coming together on behalf of our children, folks who volunteer to coach that team, to teach that Sunday school class, because they know it takes a village.<br />
<br />
她懂得作为一个总统,最主要的任务就是一件事,要为孩子们争取更美好的未来。为了孩子而团结起来,我们的国家就是这样不断进步的。不论是志愿做学生队教练的人,还是去当主日学的教师,他们都明白,培养下一代,需要整个国家的力量。<br />
<br />
Heroes of every color and creed who wear the uniform and risk their lives to keep passing down those blessings of liberty, police officers and the protesters in Dallas who all desperately want to keep our children safe. People who lined up in Orlando to donate blood because it could have been their son, their daughter in that club.<br />
<br />
不同肤色和信仰的英雄们穿上制服,冒着生命危险将自由的福祉传承下去。在达拉斯,警察和抗议者们都在拼尽全力地呼吁保护孩子们的安全。在奥兰多,人们排着队献血,因为他们知道,那晚在酒吧的也可能就是他们的孩子。<br />
<br />
Leaders like Tim Kaine who show our kids what decency and devotion look like. Leaders like Hillary Clinton who has the guts and the grace to keep coming back and putting those cracks in that highest and hardest glass ceiling until she finally breaks through, lifting all of us along with her.<br />
<br />
蒂姆•凯恩这样的领袖让孩子们懂得了什么是正直与奉献。希拉里这样的领袖拥有的勇气和魅力,让她一直没有放弃,不断地冲击限制女性发展的那道最高最艰难的玻璃顶,直到她终于将其击碎,并带着我们一同提升。<br />
<br />
That is the story of this country, the story that has brought me to this stage tonight, the story of generations of people who felt the lash of bondage, the shame of servitude, the sting of segregation, but who kept on striving and hoping and doing what needed to be done so that today I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves. And I watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent, black young women playing with their dogs on the White House lawn.<br />
<br />
这就是我们国家的故事,是这个故事让我今天站在这里。在这个故事中,曾有世世代代的人遭受着压迫和束缚,被奴役的耻辱和被隔离的痛苦。但是他们始终怀揣着希望,不息地抗争,所以今天的我才能每天在由奴隶建造的白宫里醒来,看着我的女儿们,两个美丽聪敏的黑皮肤少女,与狗狗们在白宫的草坪上嬉戏。<br />
<br />
And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States.<br />
<br />
因为希拉里,我的女儿,和所有的孩子们,觉得女人可以当美国总统,这是理所应当的事。<br />
<br />
So, look, so don't let anyone ever tell you that this country isn't great, that somehow we need to make it great again. Because this right now is the greatest country on earth!<br />
<br />
所以,别再听别人说我们的国家不够好,我们要让她变好之类的话。因为此时此刻,这就是世界上最伟大的国家。<br />
<br />
And as my daughters prepare to set out into the world, I want a leader who is worthy of that truth, a leader who is worthy of my girls' promise and all our kids' promise, a leader who will be guided every day by the love and hope and impossibly big dreams that we all have for our children.<br />
<br />
我的两个女儿就要去闯荡世界了,我希望能有一个领袖能够配得上这个真相,值得托付我的女儿以及所有孩子们的前途,能用爱与希望,和我们寄予孩子的无限期望来指导其每一天。<br />
<br />
So in this election, we cannot sit back and hope that everything works out for the best. We cannot afford to be tired or frustrated or cynical. No, hear me. Between now and November, we need to do what we did eight years ago and four years ago.<br />
<br />
所以在这次选举中,我们不能坐视着希望最后的结果是最好的,我们承受不起疲倦、沮丧或愤世嫉俗的代价。听我说,从现在起到十一月份,我们要像8年前或4年前那样,为之付出行动。<br />
<br />
We need to knock on every door, we need to get out every vote, we need to pour every last ounce of our passion and our strength and our love for this country into electing Hillary Clinton as president of the United States of America!<br />
<br />
我们要挨家挨户敲门,让更多的人来投票。我们要用尽我们对这个国家的每一丝热情、每一份力量,和每一点爱,来推选希拉里•克林顿成为美利坚合众国的总统!<br />
<br />
So let's get to work. Thank you all and God bless.<br />
<br />
让我们行动起来吧。谢谢大家,上帝保佑。</div>

It would seem strange if old friends lacked certain quirks."</em><br> <strong>Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe</strong></p> <p><em>"People throw away what they could have by insisting on perfection, which they cannot have, and looking for it where they will never find it."</em><br> <strong>Edith Schaeffer</strong></p> <p>One of the most common challenges that people email me about �C and I myself have had quite a bit of trouble with �C is perfectionism.</p> <p>It's an issue that can hold you back in life. Not only from achieving and finishing what you want.</p> <p>But sometimes from even getting started. While at the same time draining your self-esteem and getting you stuck in a negative spiral where it can become harder and harder to start moving forward. So today I'd like to share 6 things that have helped me �C and still helps me to this day �C with this destructive and distracting thought habit.</p> <p><span id="more-8912"></span></p> <p><strong>1. Go for good enough.</strong></p> <p>Aiming for perfection usually winds up in a project or something else never being finished. So go for good enough instead.</p> <p>Don't use it as an excuse to slack off. But simply realize that there is something called good enough and when you are there then you are finished with whatever you are doing.</p> <p>So find a balance for yourself where you do good work and don't slack off but at the same time don't get lost in trying to improve and polish something too much.</p> <p>How to find that balance? I have found my own balance through trial and error and experience.</p> <p><strong>2. Realize that you hurt yourself and the people around you by buying into myths of perfection.</strong></p> <p>By watching too many movies, listening to too many songs and just taking in what the world is telling you it is very easy to be lulled into dreams of perfection. It sounds so good and wonderful and you want it.</p> <p>But in real life it clashes with reality and tends to:</p> <ul> <li>Cause much suffering and stress within you and in the people around you.</li><li>Harm or possibly lead you to end relationships, jobs, projects etc. just because your expectations are out of this world.</li></ul> <p>I find it very helpful to remind myself of these simple facts.</p> <p>Whenever I get lost in a perfectionist headspace I remind myself that it will cause me and my world harm. And so it become easier to switch my focus and thoughts because I want to avoid making destructive choices and avoid causing myself and the people closest to me unnecessary pain.</p> <p><strong>3. Accept that you are human and so are everyone else.</strong></p> <p>Set human standards for everyone and accept that life is like that.</p> <p>Everything and everyone has flaws and things don't always go as planned. You can still improve things but they will never be perfect.</p> <p>And realize that you won't be rejected if things or you aren't perfect. At least not by reasonably well-balanced human beings, like most people actually are in reality.</p> <p><strong>4. Compare yourself to yourself.</strong></p> <p>Comparing yourself to other people on a regular basis can easily lead to feeling inferior. There will always be a lot of people ahead of you in any area of life.</p> <p>So compare yourself to yourself…</p> <ul> <li>See your improvement, see how far you have come.</li><li>Look back at what you have overcome.</li><li>Appreciate yourself and focus what you have done and are doing rather than what everyone else is doing.</li></ul> <p><strong>5. Do what you think is the right thing.</strong></p> <p>So you realize that perfectionism will harm you and you try to avoid it. But people and media and the society around you have an influence over how you think and feel.</p> <p>One of the best ways I have found to practically lessen that influence is by doing the right thing as much as possible. When you do that other people's expectations have less and less power over you and you take more charge of your life.</p> <p>Because by doing the right thing your self-esteem goes up and other people's opinions about you and life will matter less to you. You have become stronger, more certain in who you are and you are not so easily swayed by external forces.</p> <p><strong>6. Shape an environment of human standards around you.</strong></p> <p>Emotions are contagious. So is perfectionism.</p> <p>And even though you can lessen the impact that your environment has you can also work at the other end of things.</p> <p>You can reshape your environment by for example:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Reducing or cutting out the sources that try to reinforce perfectionism in you.</strong> Take a little time to review what websites, magazines, podcasts, TV-shows and books you spend a lot of time with. Take a look at if they have realistic and positive expectations or views on you and on life. And if not, choose to spend more of your time with the sources that lift you up and support you.</li><li><strong>Spending less time with nervously perfectionistic people.</strong> And more of your time each week with people who are trying to improve themselves and/or are living a good life in a positive, healthy and relaxed way.</li></ul> <p>F: http://www.positivityblog.com/index.php/2015/09/17/perfectionism-habits/</p> </div> Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05316479681829995980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237072617737824299.post-32419309370369308032015-10-28T12:12:00.001+08:002018-04-23T14:14:11.171+08:00The way of happiness<div class="WordSection1"> <p style="line-height:21.0pt"><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">So let's talk about happiness, or rather how we can go toward that goal. I think we can all agree that to be happy we should live a positive life. That makes sense. So, how then, can we make sure that we live positively? One way is to surround ourselves with positive things and positive experiences. Read good books, see good movies, have beautiful artwork hanging on our walls. We should eat delicious food, buy ourselves fresh flowers to greet us when we get home and attend all kinds of concerts frequently. . . .<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> 让我们来谈谈幸福吧。到底怎样才算幸福呢</span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">?<span lang="ZH-CN">相信很多人都会赞成――要想幸福,就得积极乐观地面对生活。话虽如此,那到底怎样才算是"乐活"呢</span>?<span lang="ZH-CN">或许,我们可以多去接触美好事物,比如,读本好书,看场精彩的电影,或者用不凡的艺术品装饰我们的家居</span>;<span lang="ZH-CN">再比如,我们也可以享用美味大餐,买束鲜花美美地放在家里,抑或多赴几场音乐会……</span><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> </span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">It is important to remember why we are living on this earth. What are our priorities: our family and friends or getting that extra bonus by working 100 hours a week? Which really and truly makes us happier? We only have one life, so let's treat ourselves well, with massages and bubble baths. Never pass a playground without stopping to swing. Throw away our watches and maybe even try living without a planner for a day.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> 多想想我们为什么要活在这个世上,而我们的优势又在哪里</span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">?<span lang="ZH-CN">是亲朋好友重要呢,还是拼命加班挣点辛苦钱重要</span>?<span lang="ZH-CN">到底哪一个更让我们快乐呢</span>?<span lang="ZH-CN">一辈子有限,何不对自己好点,享受一下按摩和泡泡澡呢</span>?<span lang="ZH-CN">路过操场时就荡下秋千吧</span>!<span lang="ZH-CN">别再争分夺秒赶时间做计划,偶尔试着放松放松吧</span>!<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> </span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">Find the little things, like sunrises and sunsets, or tequila shots and pet rocks, that make a day worth living. And always, always, always have a reason to get out of bed in the morning--whether it's the brownies you baked the night before or the realization that Thursday means "ER" is on at 10:00.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> 日出日落、一杯美酒、一枚宠物石……去细微观察品味,用心过好每一天吧。而且,一定要有一个激励自己起床的动力:哪怕只是为了吃块昨晚烤的巧克力饼,或者仅仅是因为</span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">ER<span lang="ZH-CN">就在每周二</span>10:00<span lang="ZH-CN">更新。</span><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> </span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">That way of positive living doesn't sound too bad, does it?<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> 这种乐活方式听上去还不错,对吧</span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">?<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> </span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">But I'd like to introduce another way of living positively. This previous way is inward-looking. The goal is to bring positive or happy things of the world into our lives. A second manner of positive living is more outward-focused. The goal is to direct our own positivity (if I can take the liberty of inventing a word) on the world. To perhaps even seek out the negative things in this world and work to make them positive.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> 不过,我要讲的却是另一种乐活方式。前一种方式偏向于"内聚型",要求人们把外界的美好正能量融入自己的生活中去</span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">;<span lang="ZH-CN">而第二种方式更侧重于"外散型",就是把我们自身的正能量传播给外界,甚至需要我们善于发现负能量,然后努力把它转化为正能量。</span><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt"><span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> </span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">This lifestyle might not appear so much fun, at first. We no longer can claim that it is for "positive" reasons that we don't read the bad news in the newspaper. To the contrary, we must open our eyes and ears to what is happening in all corners of this world that is our global community. Sure it does no good to numb ourselves to all the horrors of the world by repeated contact. But we cannot solve problems without knowing they are there.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> 当然,刚开始这种生活方式可能不那么有趣。我们没必要为了求得正能量而刻意不看报纸上的负面新闻,相反,我们更应该睁大眼睛留意世界各地的情况变化。当然,总这么做我们或许也会变得麻木,但只有知道问题的存在,才有可能去解决问题,对不对</span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">?<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> </span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">In this life, maybe instead of going to a concert, you will perform for others.

Her husband's friend Richards was there, too, near her. It was he who had been in the newspaper office when intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard's name leading the list of killed. He had only taken the time to assure himself of its truth by a second telegram, and had hastened to forestall any less careful, less tender friend in bearing the sad message.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> </span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to accept its significance. She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister's arms. When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone. She would have no one follow her.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> </span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable, roomy armchair.

The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which some one was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> </span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled above the other in the west facing her window.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> </span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">She sat with her head thrown back upon the cushion of the chair, quite motionless, except when a sob came up into her throat and shook her, as a child who has cried itself to sleep continues to sob in its dreams.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> </span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength. But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on one of those patches of blue sky. It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> </span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. What was it? She did not know; it was too subtle and elusive to name. But she felt it, creeping out of the sky, reaching toward her through the sounds, the scents, the color that filled the air.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> </span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">Now her bosom rose and fell tumultuously. She was beginning to recognize this thing that was approaching to possess her, and she was striving to beat it back with her will-as powerless as her two white slender hands would have been.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> </span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">When she abandoned herself a little whispered word escaped her slightly parted lips. She said it over and over under her breath: Free, free, free! The vacant stare and the look of terror that had followed it went from her eyes. They stayed keen and bright. Her pulses beat fast, and the coursing blood warmed and relaxed every inch of her body.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> </span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">She did not stop to ask if it were or were not a monstrous joy that held her.

But she saw beyond that bitter moment a long procession of years to come that would belong to her absolutely. And she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> </span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">There would be no one to live for her during those coming years; she would live for herself. There would be no powerful will bending her in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature. A kind intention or a cruel intention made the act seem no less a crime as she looked upon it in that brief moment of illumination.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="line-height:21.0pt;orphans: auto;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45"> </span><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#172C45">And yet she had loved him-sometimes.

Tonight, when I was sitting in the yard enjoying the cool, it occurred to me that the Lotus Pond, which I pass by every day, must assume quite a different look in such moonlit night. A full moon was rising high in the sky; the laughter of children playing outside had died away; in the room, my wife was patting the son, Run-er, sleepily humming a cradle song. Shrugging on an overcoat, quietly, 1 made my way out, closing the door behind me.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:19.5pt;orphans: auto;text-align:start;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#4B4B4B">沿着荷塘是一条曲折的小煤屑路。这是一条幽僻的路;白天也少人走,夜晚更加寂寞。荷塘四面,长着许多树,翁翁郁郁的。路的一旁,是些杨柳,和一些不知道名字的树。没有月光的晚上,这路上阴森森的,有些怕人。今晚却很好,虽然月光也还是淡淡的。</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#4B4B4B"><br> Alongside the Lotus Pond runs a small cinder footpath. It is peaceful and secluded here, a place not frequented by pedestrians even in the daytime; now at night, it looks mare solitary, in a lush, shady ambience of trees all around the pond. On the side where the path is, there are willows, interlaced with some others whose names I do not know. The foliage, which, in a moonless night, would loom somewhat frighteningly dark, looks very nice tonight, although the moonlight is not more than a thin, grayish veil.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:19.5pt;orphans: auto;text-align:start;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#4B4B4B">路上只我一个人,背着手踱着。这一片天地好像是我的;我也像超出了平常的自己,到了另一世界里。我爱热闹,也爱冷静;爱群居,也爱独处。像今晚上,一个人在这苍茫的月下,什么都可以想,什么都可以不想,便觉是个自由的人。白天里一定要做的事,一定要说的话,现在都可不理。这是独处的妙处;我且受用这无边的荷香月色好了。</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#4B4B4B"><br> I am on my own, strolling, hands behind my back. This bit of the universe seems in my possession now; and I myself seem to have been uplifted from my ordinary self into another world. 1 like a serene and peaceful life, as much as a busy and active one; I like being in solitude, as much as in company. As it is tonight, basking in a misty moonshine all by myself, I feel I am a free man, free to think of anything, or of nothing. All that one is obliged to do, or to say, in the daytime, can be very well cast aside now. That is the beauty of being alone. For the moment, just let me indulge in this profusion of moonlight and lotus fragrance.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:19.5pt;orphans: auto;text-align:start;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#4B4B4B">曲曲折折的荷塘上面,弥望的是田田的叶子。叶子出水很高,像亭亭的舞女的裙。层层的叶子中间,零星地点缀着些白花,有袅娜地开着的,有羞涩地打着朵儿的;正如一粒粒的明珠,又如碧天里的星星,又如刚出浴的美人。微风过处,送来缕缕清香,仿佛远处高楼上渺茫的歌声似的。这时候叶子与花也有一丝的波动,像闪电般,霎时传过荷塘的那边去了。叶子本是肩并肩密密地挨着,这便宛然有了一道凝碧的波痕。叶子底下是脉脉的流水,遮住了,不能见一些颜色;而叶子却更见风致了。</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#4B4B4B"><br> All over this winding stretch of water, what meets the eye is a silken field of leaves, reaching rather high above the surface, like the skirts of dancing girls in all their grace. Here and there, layers of leaves are dotted with white lotus blossoms, some in demure bloom, others in shy bud, like scattering pearls, or twinkling stars, or beauties just out of the bath. A breeze stirs, sending over breaths of fragrance, like faint singing drifting from a distant building. At this moment, a tiny thrill shoots through the leaves and lilies, like, a streak of lightning, straight across the forest of lotuses. The leaves, which have been standing shoulder to shoulder, are caught shimmering in an emerald heave of the pond. Underneath, the exquisite water is covered from view, and none can tell its colour; yet the leaves on top project themselves all the more attractively.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:19.5pt;orphans: auto;text-align:start;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#4B4B4B">月光如流水一般,静静地泻在这一片叶子和花上。薄薄的青雾浮起在荷塘里:叶子和花仿佛在牛乳中洗过一样;又像笼着轻纱的梦。虽然是满月,天上却有一层淡淡的云,所以不能朗照;但我以为这恰是到了好处――酣眠固不可少,小睡也别有风味的。月光是隔了树照过来的,高处丛生的灌木,落下参差的斑驳的黑影,峭愣愣如鬼一般;弯弯的杨柳的稀疏的倩影,却又像是画在荷叶上。塘中的月色并不均匀;但光与影有着和谐的旋律,如梵炯铃上奏着的名曲。</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#4B4B4B"><br> The moon sheds her liquid light silently over the leaves and flowers, which, in the floating transparency of a bluish haze from the pond, look as if they had just been bathed in milk, or like a dream wrapped in a gauzy hood. Although it is a full moon, shining through a film of clouds, the light is not at its brightest; it is, however, just right for me -a profound sleep is indispensable, yet a snatched doze also has a savour of its own. The moonlight is streaming down through the foliage, casting bushy shadows on the ground from high above, jagged and checkered, as grotesque as a party of spectres; whereas the benign figures of the drooping willows, here and there, lank like paintings on the lotus leaves. The moonlight is not spread evenly over the pond, but rather in a harmonious rhythm of light and shade, like a famous melody played on a violin.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:19.5pt;orphans: auto;text-align:start;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#4B4B4B">荷塘的四面,远远近近,高高低低都是树,而杨柳最多。这些树将一片荷塘重重围住;只在小路一旁,漏着几段空隙,像是特为月光留下的。树色一例是阴阴的,乍看像一团烟雾;但杨柳的丰姿,便在烟雾里也辨得出。树梢上隐隐约约的是一带远山,只有些大意罢了。树缝里也漏着一两点路灯光,没精打采的,是渴睡人的眼。这时候最热闹的,要数树上的蝉声与水里的蛙声;但热闹是它们的,我什么也没有。</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#4B4B4B"><br> Around the pond, far and near, high and Iow, are trees. Most of them are willows. Only on the path side can two or three gaps be seen through the heavy fringe, as if specially reserved for the moon. The shadowy shapes of the leafage at first sight seem diffused into a mass of mist, against which, however, the charm of those willow trees is still discernible. Over the trees appear some distant mountains, but merely in sketchy silhouette. Through the branches are also a couple of lamps, as listless as sleepy eyes. The most lively creatures here, for the moment, must be the cicadas in the trees and the frogs in the pond. But the liveliness is theirs, I have nothing.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:19.5pt;orphans: auto;text-align:start;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#4B4B4B">忽然想起采莲的事情来了。采莲是江南的旧俗。似乎很早就有,而六朝时为盛;从诗歌里可以约略知道。采莲的是少年的女子,她们是荡着小船,唱着艳歌去的。采莲人不用说很多,还有看采莲的人。那是一个热闹的季节,也是一个风流的季节。梁元帝《采莲斌》里说得好:</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#4B4B4B"><br> Suddenly, something like lotus-gathering crosses my mind. It used to be celebrated as a folk festival in the South, probably dating very far hack in history, most popular in the period of Six Dynasties. We can pick up some outlines of this activity in the poetry. It was young girls who went gathering lotuses, in sampans and singing love songs. Needless to say, there were a great number of them doing the gathering, apart from those who were watching. It was a lively season, brimming with vitality, and romance. A brilliant description can be found in Lotus Gathering written by the Yuan Emperor of the Liang Dynasty:<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:19.5pt;orphans: auto;text-align:start;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <strong><i><span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#4B4B4B">于是妖童破女,荡舟心许:鹤首徐回,兼传羽杯;掉将移而藻挂,船欲动而萍开。尔其纤腰束素,迁延顾步;夏始春余,叶嫩花初,恐沾裘而浅笑,畏倾船而敛裾。</span></i></strong><b><i><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif";color:#4B4B4B"><br> <strong><span style="font-family:"微软雅黑","sans-serif"">So those charming youngsters row their sampans, heart buoyant with tacit love, pass to each other cups of wine while their bird- shaped prows drift around.

<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">W</span><span style="color: #222222;">hen it comes to the research results on happiness in the American workforce, the statistics are not flattering.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A recent survey by the staffing firm Manpower Group discovered that nearly two-thirds of American and Canadian workers were not happy in their job. A recent Gallup survey found that close to 60% of American workers were unhappy enough in their jobs to want a new career. Most of us have found ourselves in a job that was not fulfilling at some point.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While psychologists and social scientists believe some of our happiness is predetermined by our genes, at least a major portion of it is within our control.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Regardless of your situation at work, here are seven habits that people who have found happiness at their jobs have mastered.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h4 style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 10.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: 10.5pt; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">

THEY HAVE COMMITTED TO CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVING AS A LIFETIME GOAL.</span></a><span style="color: #222222; text-transform: uppercase;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></h4>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happier people believe in doing the best they can whether or not they are given credit for the work they do. Giving their best makes them feel better about themselves. It creates character, builds self-regard, and forms good work habits that will benefit them in the future regardless if anyone in their present position notices or cares.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h4 style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 10.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: 10.5pt; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="2_They_have_goals_worth_striving_for"><span style="color: #222222; text-transform: uppercase;">2. THEY HAVE GOALS WORTH STRIVING FOR.</span></a><span style="color: #222222; text-transform: uppercase;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></h4>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">People with clear goals they are working toward are able to look beyond everyday workplace irritants and problems. They know they will be temporary, and are able to see beyond them. When things are not going well, they focus on their goals instead of the negative situation that surrounds them at work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h4 style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 10.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: 10.5pt; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">

THEY DON’T GET CAUGHT UP IN ISSUES BEYOND THEIR CONTROL.</span></a><span style="color: #222222; text-transform: uppercase;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></h4>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happier people don’t let themselves get emotionally caught up in negative vibes or gossip that is toxic in the workplace. They focus on the work at hand and on what they are able to do. They avoid getting involved in issues and conflicts that do not involve them and are beyond their area of involvement. They always focus their attention and energies on areas they have control over, which gives them a sense of satisfaction,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h4 style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 10.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: 10.5pt; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">

THEY ARE WILLING TO HELP OTHERS.</span></a><span style="color: #222222; text-transform: uppercase;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></h4>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happy people are always looking for ways they can help others. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that people who helped others at work were happier than those who didn’t. While helping others can lead to promotion, there are also warm feelings of satisfaction that come from helping out our fellow human beings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h4 style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 10.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: 10.5pt; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">

THEY AVOID NEGATIVE PEOPLE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.</span></a><span style="color: #222222; text-transform: uppercase;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></h4>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When coming across a negative person or chronic complainer at work, happy people find ways to try to refocus on coming up with solutions or looking at the situation from another angle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Their positive energy often causes complainers and whiners to avoid them since they know they will not receive a sympathetic ear. Happy people are aware that negative people are an energy drain, and find ways to limit the amount of time that they have to spend with them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h4 style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 10.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: 10.5pt; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="6_They_make_gratitude_an_integral_part_o"><span style="color: #222222; text-transform: uppercase;">6. THEY MAKE GRATITUDE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THEIR LIFE.</span></a><span style="color: #222222; text-transform: uppercase;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></h4>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While they strive for more in life, happy people are constantly aware of all the reasons they have to be grateful. They express their gratitude freely and openly, and are quick to offer thanks to those who help them or do a kind deed. This attitude of gratitude attracts people to the positive energy that they give off. Colleagues want to be around them and work with them. When things are not going well, they choose to focus on all of the things that have gone well in their lives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h4 style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 10.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: 10.5pt; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">

<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happy people automatically try to make the most of every situation, whether at work, home, or play. They have discovered they can change their emotions by smiling or thinking of humorous situations. They are also able to distract themselves by thinking of pleasant, happy, fun times and places.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Whenever a situation comes up that threatens to engulf them in negative energy, they rely on their ability to rise above it and remain in a positive mental space.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Deep down, we all just want to be remembered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In today’s distraction-filled world, it’s easier said than done. The average adult has 360 messages coming at them each day via TV, radio, Internet, newspapers, and magazines, according to a study by<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.mediadynamicsinc.com/index.cfm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #222222;">Media Dynamics</span></a>. Less than half are noted and far fewer make enough of an impact to be recalled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you’re trying to stand out in the midst of that chaos, you’ve got your work cut out for you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"In the 1980s and 1990s, advertisers needed to be in front of prospects six to eight times to become recognizable, says Bill Corbett, Jr., president of<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.corbettpr.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #222222;">Corbett Public Relations</span></a>.

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Instead of introducing yourself a couple dozen times (and running the risk of being annoying), here are some things you can do to get noticed and be remembered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h4 style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 10.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: 10.5pt; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">

"People like to talk about their interests, so give them a chance to do so," she says. "When meeting for the first time, many people fill silences by talking about themselves; turn the conversation around and ask them about their interests. And once they’re talking, be engaged in what they have to say."<br /> <br /> </span></span><span class="subhead"><b><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 11.5pt;">Tell A Compelling Story</span></b></span><span class="subhead"><span style="color: #222222;"><br /> When Kurt Schneider, CEO of the Harlem Globetrotters, took over the lovable "clown princes of basketball" in 2007, the team were a somewhat tired, nostalgic property.

"With story elements that were easier to retain, the crowds grew, and the fans started interacting with the brand."<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: #222222; text-decoration: none;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

Be more kind to other people and help them and you tend to be more kind and helpful to yourself.<br> Focus on the positive things in yourself and in the people around you.
