7) Talk About Something New
People tend to get stuck on the same old topics of conversation. Stimulate your mind and encourage others too by finding one little interesting tidbit a day and starting a conversation by saying, “Did you hear about _________? What do you think?”
多想一些新的話題

8) Refuse to Give Advice
The easiest way to get sucked down the negative spiral is by participating. Do your friends a favor: When they start unloading their problems on you, let them figure it out on their own. The reverse is also true — don’t bore your friends with your problems. Focus on fun!
