Seven Ways to Cultivate a Mental Attitude that will Bring you Peace and Happiness
7个培养积极心态的黄金法则
RULE 1 : Let's fill our minds with thoughts of peace, courage, health,and hope, for' our life is what our thoughts make it.
和平、勇气、健康和希望的想法充实我们的头脑,因为"我们的生活就是我们的想法所创造的"。
RULE 2: Let's never try to get even with our enemies, because if we do we will hurt ourselves far more than we hurt them. Let's do as General Eisenhower does: let's never waste a minute thinking about people we don't like.
不要试图报复敌人,因为这会伤害自己更多。像艾森豪威尔将军那样,不要浪费时间去想那些我们不喜欢的人。
RULE3:A. Instead of worrying about ingratitude, let's expect it. Let's remember that Jesus healed ten lepers in one day-and only one thanked Him. Why should we expect more gratitude than Jesus got?
对于别人的不感恩要有心理准备。与其担心忘恩负义,不如期待它。我们记住耶稣在一天内治愈了十个麻风病人,而且只有一个人感谢过他。为什么我们要期待比耶稣更多的感激呢?
B. Let's remember that the only way to find happiness is not to expect gratitude-but to give for the joy of giving.
找到幸福的方法是为给予的快乐而给予,而不是期待感恩。
C. Let's remember that gratitude is a “cultivated” trait; so if we want our children to be grateful, we must train them to be grateful.
感恩是一种“有教养”的特质;所以,如果我们想让我们的孩子感激,要训练孩子学会感恩。
RULE 4 :Count your blessings-not your troubles!
数算你的祝福,而不是你的烦恼!
RULE 5 :Let's not imitate others, Let's find ourselves and be ourselves,
for “envy is ignorance" and “imitation is suicide”.
不要模仿他人。要找到自我,做真实的自己。因为"嫉妒是无知","模仿是自杀"。
RULE 6 :When fate hands us lemon,let’s try tp make a lemonade.
当命运给我们一个柠檬时,让我们试着制作柠檬水。
RULE 7: Let's forget our own unhappiness-by trying to create a little happiness for others.“When you are good to others, you are best to yourself”.
通过为他人创造快乐来忘记自己的不快乐。"当你对他人好时,你对自己最好。"
