助你迅速提高生活質量的好習慣

habits you should set aside right away to free yourself from the many problems each one will be causing you.

能夠幫助你擺脫這些自己造成的麻煩又沒必要的煩惱的習慣

Don't assume your emotions are trustworthy. How you feel isn't always a good indicator of how things are. Just because you feel it, that doesn't make it true. Sometimes that emotion comes from nothing more profound than being tired, hungry, annoyed, or about to get a head-cold. The future won't change because you feel bad-nor because you feel great. Feelings may be true, but they aren't the truth.

不要總憑直覺判斷。你如何想并不意味著事情就如你所想，僅僅是因為你感覺如此罷了，這并不會改變事實。大部分的時候，情緒意味著你累了、餓了、郁悶了，此外沒有其他更深層處的意義了。未來并不會因為你感覺良好或痛苦而改變。感覺是可能是真的，但那不是真理。

Don't let life get you down. Keep practicing being optimistic. If you expect bad things in your life and work, you'll always find them. A negative mind-set is like looking at the world through distorting, grimy lenses. You spot every blemish and overlook or discount everything else. It's amazing what isn't there until you start to look for it. Of course, if you decide to look for signs of positive things, you'll find those too.

不要讓生活拖垮你，學著樂觀一些。如果你期盼有壞事發生，想必常常都真的發生了。一個消極的人對于事物的看法都是扭曲的，他會發現世界是灰暗的，到處都是污點。換個方向想，如果你嘗試去尋找一些積極的事情，你也一定會發現它們的。
