Secrets for a Happier You
Some people are naturally blessed with a cheerful character. They spread warmth and sunshine wherever they go. They attract people like bees to honey. So what is it that makes these people so different from others?
① The most important secret to happiness is to be grateful for the good things in your life——whatever may be your financial position. Instead of appreciating material wealth, be thankful for the loved ones in your life and enjoy the little pleasures of life that come your way.
② The next important secret is to develop relationships. Increasing social contacts helps boost brain power. Therefore, work towards improving your relationships and take time off to get in touch with friends. This will lift some burden off your shoulders, especially when you share your thoughts and feelings. Socializing can give you an added boost to your moods.
③ Thirdly, do not hold a grudge(怨恨)against anyone. Instead, learn to be kind, generous, and forgiving towards others, even to the person who hurt you. Be sympathetic and understanding, and try not to criticize others. Focus on the positives of a person instead of the negatives, for none of us is born perfect. It will keep your heart and mind free and peaceful.
④ Besides, involve yourself in some creative process, be it dancing, writing or drawing. This can bring out the hidden talent in you to achieve magical happiness. Or pick up new skills and feel the great sense of satisfaction by carrying out certain tasks which you otherwise would never have felt.
⑤ Finally, follow a daily regular sleep-wake cycle to keep you energetic and happy. Exercise regularly or practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing and yoga(瑜伽). Ensure you get eight to nine hours of sleep every day and have a well-balanced diet.

【文章大意】让你更快乐的秘诀
有些人天生性格开朗。他们所到之处,都散发着温暖和阳光。他们就像蜂蜜吸引蜜蜂一样吸引别人。那么是什么让这些人与其他人如此不同呢?
① 幸福最重要的秘诀是感恩生活中的美好事物——无论你的财务状况如何。与其欣赏物质财富,不如感恩生命中的亲人,享受生活中的点点滴滴。
② 下一个重要秘诀是发展人际关系。增加社交联系有助于提高脑力。因此,努力改善你的人际关系,并抽出时间与朋友联系。这会减轻你肩上的一些负担,尤其是当你分享你的想法和感受时。社交可以给你的情绪带来额外的提升。
③ 第三,不要对任何人怀恨在心。相反,要学会对他人友善、慷慨和宽容,即使是对伤害你的人。要有同情心和理解力,尽量不要批评别人。关注一个人的积极方面而不是消极方面,因为我们都不是天生完美的。它会让你的心灵和思想自由和平静。
④ 此外,让自己参与一些创作过程,无论是跳舞、写作还是绘画。这可以带出你隐藏的天赋,实现美妙的幸福。或者学习新技能并通过做某些你可能永远不会做的任务来获得极大的满足感。
⑤ 最后,遵循每日规律的睡眠-觉醒周期,让你保持精力充沛和快乐。定期锻炼或练习深呼吸和瑜伽等放松技巧。确保你每天有 8 到 9 个小时的睡眠时间,并拥有均衡的饮食。
