Happiness is the only true measure of personal success. Making other people happy is the highest expression of success, but its almost impossible to make others happy if youre not happy yourself. With that in mind, here are nine small changes that you can make to your daily routine that will immediately increase the amount of happiness in your life: 衡量一個(gè)人是否成功的真正標(biāo)準(zhǔn)只有這個(gè)人是否幸福。讓別人感到快樂幸福是個(gè)人成功的最高形式。不過，如果你自己不快樂的話，是很難做到讓別人快樂的。記住這一點(diǎn)，以下提出的9條建議，會(huì)讓你的生活馬上變得快樂起來。

1. Start each day with expectation. 1. 對(duì)每天都有期望 I

f theres any big truth about life, its that it usually lives up to (or down to) your expectations. Therefore, when you rise from bed, make your first thought: something wonderful is going to happen today. Guess what? Youre probably right. 如果生活真有所謂的真諦存在的話，那么就是對(duì)生活有點(diǎn)期望。當(dāng)你早上起床的時(shí)候，第一件事就是去想：今天會(huì)有好事發(fā)生。猜猜看結(jié)果如何?很有可能你就能美夢(mèng)成真。

2. Take time to plan and prioritize. 2. 花時(shí)間計(jì)劃，優(yōu)先處理緊急事務(wù)

The most common source of stress is the perception that youve got too much work to do. Rather than obsess about it, pick one thing that, if you get it done today, will move you closer to your highest goal and purpose in life. Then do that first. 壓力最通常的來源就是意識(shí)到自己有太多的事情要做。與其被堆積如山的事務(wù)纏身，不如從中挑選一件來做。挑選的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)就是，做完這件事，就會(huì)離你人生中的最高目標(biāo)更進(jìn)一步。挑選出了要做的事情之后，就把它放在首位去完成。

3. Give a gift to everyone you meet. 3. 向每位遇到的人傳遞正能量

Im not talking about a formal, wrapped-up present. Your gift can be your smile, a word of thanks or encouragement, a gesture of politeness, even a friendly nod. And never pass beggars without leaving them something. Peace of mind is worth the spare change. 我并不是要你去送一些包裝精美的禮品。你的禮物可以是一個(gè)微笑，一句感謝或者鼓勵(lì)的話，一個(gè)禮貌的動(dòng)作，甚至只是善意的頷首。經(jīng)過乞討者時(shí)，留下些零錢吧。善良的心靈比零錢更值錢。

4. Deflect partisan conversations. 4. 盡可能不談及敏感話題

Arguments about politics and religion never have a right answer but they definitely get people all riled up over things they cant control. When such topics surface, bow out by saying something like: Thinking about that stuff makes my head hurt. 有關(guān)政治和宗教的話題永遠(yuǎn)沒有正確答案，但卻會(huì)讓人心浮氣躁，難以掌控談話的局面。如果出現(xiàn)了這樣的話題，就可以用一句想到這些事情我就頭疼，禮貌地退出討論。

5. Assume people have good intentions. 5. 假設(shè)人們動(dòng)機(jī)善良

Since you cant read minds, you dont really know the why behind the what that people do. Imputing evil motives to other peoples weird behaviors adds extra misery to life, while assuming good intentions leaves you open to reconciliation. 你沒有讀心術(shù)，所以你不會(huì)明白人們行為背后的真正含義。不要為他人怪異的舉動(dòng)注入不良的動(dòng)機(jī)，這只會(huì)讓生活更加愁云慘淡而已。反而假設(shè)人們的動(dòng)機(jī)善良，會(huì)讓你有更多的機(jī)會(huì)去與對(duì)方和解。

6. Eat high quality food slowly. 6. 慢慢享受高質(zhì)量食物

Sometimes we cant avoid scarfing something quick to keep us up and running. Even so, at least once a day try to eat something really delicious, like a small chunk of fine cheese or an imported chocolate. Focus on it; taste it; savor it. 有時(shí)候，我們不得不狼吞虎咽，急著開工。即使這樣，也要讓自己每天擁有一次真正享受美食的機(jī)會(huì)，比如一塊醇正的奶酪或者進(jìn)口的巧克力。關(guān)注食物本身，品味它，享受它。

7. Let go of your results. 7. 不考慮不能改變的結(jié)果

The big enemy of happiness is worry, which comes from focusing on events that are outside your control. Once youve taken action, theres usually nothing more you can do. Focus on the job at hand rather than some weird fantasy of what might happen. 幸福快樂的最大敵人就是擔(dān)心，擔(dān)心那些不可能改變的結(jié)果。一旦你采取了行動(dòng)，對(duì)于結(jié)果，你就已經(jīng)無能為力了。把精力關(guān)注在手頭正要做的事情上，而不是去臆測(cè)可能發(fā)生的可怕結(jié)果。

8. Turn off background TV. 8. 如果不用，關(guān)掉電視

Many households leave their TVs on as background noise while theyre doing other things. The entire point of broadcast TV is to make you dissatisfied with your life so that youll buy more stuff. Why subliminally program yourself to be a mindless consumer? 很多家庭都會(huì)在忙著其他事情的時(shí)候，把電視機(jī)開著當(dāng)背景聲音。電視節(jié)目的全部目的就是讓你對(duì)生活不滿，從而去購買更多的東西。為什么要讓電視節(jié)目把你變成一個(gè)毫無主見的消費(fèi)者呢?

9. End each day with gratitude. 9. 睡前保持一顆感恩的心

Just before you go to bed, write down at least one wonderful thing that happened. It might be something as small as a making a child laugh or something as huge as a million dollar deal. Whatever it is, be grateful for that day because it will never come again. 在臨睡前，寫下至少一件今天發(fā)生的美好的事情。這件事情可以小到是讓一個(gè)孩子笑了起來，也可以是大到做成了一筆百萬美元的生意。無論是什么事情，都要心懷感恩，因?yàn)檫^去的這一天將永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)回來。
