The joy in living comes from having fine emotions， trusting them， giving them the freedom of a bird in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose， or put on from the outside as a mask. People who have this joy don’t need to talk about it； they radiate it. They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight and glow into other lives as naturally as bird sings.

We can never get it by working for it directly. It comes， like happiness， to those who are aiming at something higher. It is a byproduct of great， simple living. The joy of living comes from what we put into living， not from what we seek to get from it.

生活的樂趣源自美好的情感，以及對這些情感的信任，并且讓它們如鳥兒般自由地在天空翱翔。生活中的快樂永遠不能偽裝得來。擁有快樂生活的人無須言語，就會用快樂感染他人。他們將快樂釋放，讓快樂發光，用快樂的光芒照耀他人的生活，就像鳥兒奉獻自己的歌聲一樣。

幸福不是僅僅靠努力工作就能得到的。它如同幸福一樣，只有生活里有更高追求的人，才會享受到快樂。它是偉大而簡單的生活的附屬品，生活的樂趣源自我們對其的投入，而非索取。

Good Advice to Help You Live Happily

佚名 / Anonymous

1. It is Okay to Make Mistakes

Making mistakes is something we all do， and I am still a fine and worthwhile person when I make them. There is no reason for me to get upset when I make a mistake. I am trying， and if I make a mistake， I am going to continue trying. I can handle making a mistake. It is okay for others to make mistakes， too. I will accept mistakes in myself and also mistakes that others make.

2. Everybody Doesn’t Have to Love Me

Not everybody has to love me or even like me. I don’t necessarily like everybody， I know， so why should everybody else like me？ I enjoy being liked and being loved， but if somebody doesn’t like me， I will still be okay and still feel like I am an okay person. I cannot make somebody like me， anymore than somebody can get me to like them. I don’t need approval all the time. If someone does not approve of me， I will still be okay.

3. I Don’t Have to Control Things

I will survive if things are different than what I want them to be. I can accept things the way they are， accept people the way they are， and accept myself the way I am. There is no reason to get upset if I can’t change things to fit my idea of how they ought to be. There is no reason why I should have to like everything. Even if I don’t like it， I can live with it.

4. I am Responsible for My Day

I am responsible for how I feel and what I do. Nobody can make me feel anything. If I have a rotten day， I am the one who allows it to be that way. If I have a great day， I am the one who deserves credit for being positive. It is not the responsibility of other people to change so that I can feel better. I am the one who is in charge of my life.

5. I Can Handle It When Things Go Wrong

I don’t need to watch out for things to go wrong. Things usually go just fine， and when they don’t， I can handle it. I don’t have to waste my energy worrying. The sky won’t fall in； things will be okay.

6. I am Capable

I don’t need someone else to take care of my problems. I am capable. I can take care of myself. I can make decisions for myself. I can think for myself. I don’t have to depend on somebody else to take care of me.

7. I Can be Flexible

There is more than one way to do something. More than one person has had good ideas that will work. There is no one and only “best” way. Everybody has ideas that are worthwhile. Some may make more sense to me than others， but everyone’s ideas are worthwhile， and everyone has something worthwhile to contribute.

1. 犯錯沒關系

每個人都會犯錯。即使犯了錯，我仍然是一個優秀的、有價值的人。犯錯后，沒必要惴惴不安。我一直都在努力，即使犯了錯，我還是會繼續努力。我能正確對待犯錯，別人犯錯也沒什么大不了的。既然我會接受自己犯錯，也就會接受別人犯錯。

2. 并非人人都得愛我

不是每個人都得愛我，或者喜歡我。我不必喜歡我認識的每一個人，那么為什么其他人都應該喜歡我呢？我很樂意被人喜歡或被人愛，但如果有人不喜歡我，我仍然會活得很好，也覺得自己很好。我不能強求別人喜歡我，正如別人也不能強求我喜歡他。我不需要總是被認可。即使別人不認同我，我仍然會活得很好。

3. 不必事必躬親

即使事情與我所想象的不同，我也照樣生活。我會接受事情本來的樣子，接受人們本來的面貌，也接受真實的自我。如果我不能讓事情成為我想要的樣子，也沒必要不安。我沒有理由要喜歡一切事物。即使我不喜歡它，仍能與之共存。

4. 對自己的每一天負責

我對自己的感覺和自己所做的事負責。沒有人能影響我的感覺。如果我渾渾噩噩地過了一天，是我對自己的放任；如果我某天過得很充實，是自己態度積極，應受嘉獎。其他人沒有義務做出改變來讓我感覺更好。我才是掌握自己命運的人。

5. 出了問題我能處理

我不需要時刻擔心事情會出錯。事情一般都會順利進行，即使不能順利進行時，我也能處理好。我沒必要浪費精力去焦慮。天不會塌下來，一切都會好的。

6. 我能行

我不需要別人來幫忙處理問題，我能行。我能照顧好自己，能自己作出決定，能獨立思考。我沒有必要依靠別人來照顧我。

7. 我能隨機應變

一件事的做法不止一種，不止一個人有行得通的好辦法，也沒有哪一種方法是萬全之策。每個人都有好主意。有些可能對我更有幫助，每個人的觀點都有可取之處，每個人都可以想出一些好辦法。
