Day 1 Gratitude 感恩 The Secret to Feeling Rich
Gratitude is like a magical lens that changes how you see things. When you start appreciating what you have, instead of lamenting what you don’t have, something shifts. It’s like suddenly, what you have multiplies in value. It’s not about having a lot—it’s about appreciating what you have. That’s the secret to feeling truly rich. So, even on tough days, finding something, no matter how small, to be thankful for, can change the way you view life. It’s about realizing that even the simplest things can bring joy, and in recognizing that, you find contentment. It’s really an awesome way to live.
感到富足的秘诀 感恩就像一片神奇的滤镜,可以改变你看待事物的方式。当你开始感恩自己所拥有的东西,而非哀叹自己所没有的东西时,有些事就会改变。就像突然之间,你所拥有的事物全都价值倍增。重要的不是你拥有很多,而是你珍惜自己所拥有的。这就是真正感到富足的秘诀。因此,即使在艰难的日子里,你也要找到一些值得感恩的事情,它无论多么渺小,都可以改变你看待人生的方式。关键在于,你要意识到,即便是再微不足道的事物也能带来快乐,而当你真正认识到这一点时,你便会收获内心的满足。这着实是一种很棒的生活方式。
Day 2 Conquering Adversity克服逆境 Laugh Away Life’s Burdens
You ever notice how sometimes life seems too heavy? Next time you’re in a funk, try this—just laugh. Go watch something funny, such as a movie or sitcom, or hang out with that friend who cracks you up. You know why? Laughter’s like this magical stress buster. When you laugh, your brain releases these feel-good chemicals, and suddenly the weight on your shoulders feels lighter. I’m not saying laughter’s going to solve all your problems, but it’s gonna make them a whole lot easier to tackle. So, go ahead, give yourself a break and let loose a few laughs. You’ll feel more relaxed, and who knows, the answer you’ve been looking for might just pop into your head.
一笑解千愁
你有没有注意到,有时候生活似乎太过沉重?下次当你心情低落的时候,不妨试试这个办法—笑一笑。去看一些有趣的东西,比如电影、情境喜剧,或者和那个能把你逗得开怀大笑的朋友聚一聚。你知道为什么吗?笑声就像一个神奇的压力消除器。当你笑的时候,你的大脑会释放出一些令人愉悦的化学物质,突然之间,你会感觉到肩膀上的重担轻盈了许多。我并不是说笑能解决你所有的问题,但它一定会让你在处理问题时轻松很多。所以,来吧,让自己休息一下,尽情地笑上几声。你会感觉自己更加放松,而且谁知道呢,说不定你一直在寻找的答案就会突然出现在你的脑海里。
Day 3 Learning 学习 Practice Doesn’t Necessarily Make Perfect! Does ”practice make perfect?” Not quite! Practice makes permanent, but only perfect practice makes perfect. Keep that in mind when you’re honing your skills. Don’t fall into the trap of mindless repetition, as that might just reinforce bad habits. Make sure you’re always fully engaged and mindful in your practice, aiming for improvement each time. And hey, this rule applies to copying texts from this book as well! Focus on your actions and work toward excellence. That way, you’ll not only improve but also build a strong foundation for future success. Always remember, the quality of your practice is just as important as, if not more than, the quantity.
熟练未必能生巧!
“熟能生巧”吗?不见得!虽然练习可以形成长久的习惯,但只有正确的练习才能造就完美。当你磨炼技能的时候,要牢记这一点。不要陷入盲目重复的陷阱,因为那可能只会加深你的坏习惯。要确保你每次练习的时候都全神贯注、专心致志,并力求有所精进。对了,这条规则同样适用于你抄写这本书的时候!专注于你的行为,努力追求卓越。这样一来,你不但会取得进步,还能为未来的成功奠定坚实的基础。永远要记住,练习质量与练习次数一样重要,甚至更加重要。
Day 4 Goals & Dreams 目标与梦想 The Definition of Insanity
Albert Einstein once said, ”The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” When you’ve been doing something for quite a while, such as trying to figure out a math problem, but you’re not making any progress, you may have fallen into this trap. The most important thing you can do is to stop what you’ve been doing and try a different method. Even if the new method doesn’t work, it will at least give you a new angle on the problem and may give you a new idea you can use to solve it. Keep changing your approach and eventually, you’ll find a method that works. So, remember: if one approach isn’t working, take another approach.
愚昧的定义
阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦曾经说过:“愚昧的定义就是一遍又一遍地做同样的事情,却期待得到不同的结果。”当你做一件事做了很久,比如试图解一道数学题,却一直没有任何进展时,你可能就陷入了这样的困境。此时你能做的最重要的事情就是停止你一直在做的事,然后尝试一种不同的方法。即使新方法没有奏效,它至少会为你提供一个看待问题的新角度,还可能带给你一个可以用来解决问题的新想法。不断改变你的方法,最终你一定会找到一个行之有效的解决办法。所以,请记住:如果一种方法行不通,那就采取另一种方法。
