Good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often and realize how fortunate you are right now. It’s about the simple pleasures that make you happy, the compassionate deeds you perform, the personal goals you strive to achieve, the relationships you nurture and the legacy you leave behind.
當你不再苛責挑剔,努力做得更多,沉淀自己的欲求,時常微笑并且認識到現(xiàn)在的自己是如何幸福時,那么,此時,你的生活便是美好的。這是使你開心的小快樂,是你做出憐善的行為,是你努力追求的人生目標,是你培育的人際關系,是你留給后人的寶貴財富。
So starting today, choose to take control. Here are ten commandments to help you live a good life.
因此,從現(xiàn)在開始,選擇克制。這里有十大戒訓可以幫助你開啟一段美好的生活。
I. I am not perfect and I will not try to be.
我并非完人而且我也不打算至此
Think of how many things don’t get done in this world simply because people are waiting for the perfect time, place and circumstance.
想想看,這個世界上有哦多少的事情沒有做成僅僅只是因為人們在等待完美的時機,地點和環(huán)境氛圍。
The real world doesn’t reward perfectionists. It rewards people who get things done. And the only way to get things done is to be imperfect 99% of the time. (Read Too Perfect.)
真實的世界是不會給完美主義者有所回饋的。它只給那些將事情落到實處的人有所饋贈。并且,將事情落到實處的唯一辦法便是在絕大多數(shù)時間不完美。(閱讀《太過完美》)
ll. I cannot, and will not try, to please everyone.
我不會,也不愿,取悅所有的人
No matter what you do or how you do it, there will always be people that disagree with what you’re doing. That’s life. So don’t try please everyone. Simply do what I know is right.
不論你做什么亦或是你如何做這件事,總有一些對你有成見的人存在。這就是生活。因此,無需取悅所有的人。遵循你的心,做你認為對的事。
And remember, it doesn’t matter how many people don’t get it, it matters how many people do.
記住,有多少人沒有達到目標并沒有什么關系,重要的是有多少人付諸了實踐。
