Work with the "Now" 把握现在
There are some people who are completely happy with themselves, their lives, and their prospects for the future. While they can be considered to be more fortunate than most, most who do not fall into that category are not as bad off as they tend to believe. |

Let yourself go!尽情生活
Several years ago I received a post card from a friend in Jackson Hole, Wyo., who wrote, " I am skiing with abandon!" I wondered what he meant, for when I ski it is always with trepidation. I believe he meant he was skiing skillfully, joyfully, peacefully and confidently. Although I have no hopes of ever skiing that way, I do dream of living with abandon. |

Try to become a quitter 学会放弃
I'm one of those people who's terrible at saying no. I take on too many projects at once, and spend too much of my time doing things I'd rather not be. I get stuff done, but it's not always the best I can do, or the best way I can spend my time. |

Love Your Life
However mean your life is, meet it and live it; Do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. |

Pack up loved ones 带上至亲至爱
When I was a kid, I remember my dad used to sing an old, WWI song, "Pack up your Troubles," while he was getting dressed for work in the morning. The lyrics from the chorus of the song play in my head often when I'm packing for a trip—"Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile." |
