改变世界的小细节
Sort your problems.
把问题排序
Let's face it: There's a lot of bad stuff in the world.
让我们面对现实吧:世界上有很多不好的事情。
It can be a scary place, and we've all got problems we would be a whole lot happier without.
它会让人感到恐慌。我们都有问题,要是没有的话,会幸福地多。
But experiment with putting your problems into perspective -- or boxes: That breakup? Missing a really important deadline at work? Hurt feelings? Losing someone close to you? Probably worth some self-pity. That stain on your shirt? Not so much.
但是试一试用长远的眼光来看这些问题:分手?工作时错过了重要的截止时间?受伤的感觉?失去了亲近的人?或许值得自怜自哀。衬衫上的污渍?那就不值得了。
Let go of what you can. The less negative, the more room there is to be happy.
能放手就放手。负面因素越少,开心的空间就越大。
