美文欣賞：幸福生活的20句錦言

6. Speak well of others.

6.稱贊他人

The Buddhist notion of “right thought, right action” is an important one. It’s in the mind that negativity starts. By clearing your head of negative ideas of others, you will clear your mind of problems, worries and fears, and you won’t be tempted to gossip or speak ill and bring that negativity back to you.

佛語說“思想正確決定行動正確”，這是個很重要的觀念。消極情緒是從思想中產(chǎn)生的。清除大腦中對他人的負面想法，就會清除你腦中的問題、擔憂與恐懼，這樣你就不想八卦或詆毀他人，也不會再把消極情緒帶給自己。

7. Be in the now.

7.干什么想什么

Yes, you have to do your laundry and clean the bathroom when you get home, but while you’re here now eating this cheeseburger, just enjoy the cheeseburger. Then apply this lesson to all other moments of pleasure and work—you can deal with the little stuff later.

是的，你回家后需要洗衣服、打掃浴室，但現(xiàn)在你正在吃奶酪堡，那就好好享受現(xiàn)在的美食。把這個道理應用到其他的娛樂和工作時間——你可以等會兒再完成那些瑣事。

8. Do not compare yourself to others.

8.不要把自己和他人作比較

As soon as you start this, you fall into a trap of ego, a grasping at the temporal, fleeting aspects of reality. Instead, think about what you have that makes you happy, or at least satisfied.

一旦開始，你便會陷入自我意識的陷阱、世俗的貪婪、即逝的現(xiàn)實。相反，想想你擁有的讓你幸福的一切，或者至少讓你滿意的東西。

9. Realize you don’t need others’ approval.

9.清楚你不需要他人的認同

As long as you do what makes you happy, you don’t need other people to condone your actions. This will free you to act on what you believe, which will instill confidence into your every act.

只要你的作為讓你開心，那么就不需要他人認同的你的行為。這將使你自由地做你信仰的事情，并且一舉一動都充滿自信。

10. Be honest.

10.誠信待人

Lies, even little ones, imply that you are willing to be lied to in return. But when you keep your conversation honest, you will maintain a higher level of integrity in your world.

謊言，即使是微不足道的小謊，都暗示著別人也可能對你撒謊。但如果你誠信待人，那么你的世界便會充滿誠信。
