Life can get pretty crazy at times. Sometimes weforget how important it is to actually listen toourselves instead of others. Happiness is dependentupon ourselves, and there are some things in life youshould always insist on doing- no matter what othershave to say about it. Here is a list of 20 things youshould always do.
生活用時會很瘋狂。有時我們忘了聽從自己內心而不是聽從別人的是多么重要。幸福要靠自己創(chuàng)造。無論別人說什么，生活中總有你應該堅持做的事情。以下就是你應該堅持做的20件事。
1. Insist on chasing your dreams
To some people your dreams might sound far-fetched, completely unobtainable, or downright silly. No matter what other people say to you, always insiston following your dreams. If you give in, or rather, give up on your dreams, you will never know what couldhave happened. You only have one life to live, so you might as well give it everything you’ve got. Forget thehaters.
堅持追逐你的夢想
對于一些人來說，你的夢想可能聽起來遙不可及，絕不可能實現(xiàn)或者簡直就是愚蠢的想法。無論別人對你說什么，要一直堅持你的夢想。如果你讓步了，或者說放棄了你的夢想，你永遠都不會知道如果不放棄的話，可能會發(fā)生什么。人只活一次，所以你不妨盡你所有能力嘗試一下。不要考慮其他人怎么看。
2. Insist on being the bigger person
All situations and arguments are not created equally. Being the bigger person will ultimately make you feelbetter. Other people might disagree and say you should have fought back, or whatever else you should havedone, but they don’t have to live with the consequences. Be the bigger person in life and move on. Trust me, you will be the one who wins in the long run.
做一個大度的人
并不是所有的情況和爭論都是公平的。做一個大度的人會最終讓你感覺良好。另一些人或許會有不同看法，并且說你本該反擊的或者無論怎樣，你該干點什么。他們可不必承擔后果。做一個大度的人，并且堅持下去。請相信我，從長遠來看，你會是那個贏家。
3. Insist on forgiveness
Forgiveness is not an easy thing. However, insisting on being forgiving will make you a happier person. Onceyou forgive someone you feel a weight that is lifted off your shoulders. Forgiving someone doesn’t mean yougo back to the way things were before, but it does mean letting yourself move on in a positive direction—andthat’s never a bad thing.
要有寬恕之心
做到寬恕別人不是件容易的事。然而，做一個寬恕的人會使你成為一個幸福的人。一旦寬恕了別人，你會感覺像一副重擔從肩上卸了下來。寬恕別人不是意味著你走了回頭路而是讓自己以一種積極地心態(tài)前行---這絕不是一件壞事。
4. Insist on seeing the glass half-full
Screw that glass-half-empty view. Positivity is a powerful thing. The more positive a thinker you are, the morepositive outcomes you will see in your life. Keep those negative thoughts out, and those negative people outtoo. There is almost always a bright side to a situation, and focusing on that will help get you through.
看到杯子里還有半杯水。
舍棄只看到半個空杯子的觀點。積極的心態(tài)很強大。你越是一個積極向上的人，在生活里你越能看到好的結果。不要有負面的想法，并且離消極的人遠點。無論何事都會有積極的一面?？偸潜в蟹e極的心態(tài)會幫你度過難關。
5. Insist on staying true to yourself
No matter what other people say or do, you should always be true to yourself. Throughout our lives people will try to shape our ideas, or even try and get us to do things we don’t believe in, which is why you should always be true to yourself. Make decisions for yourself, and never compromise who you are.
真誠面對自己
無論別人說什么或做什么，你應該對自己誠實。我們的一生從始至終，都會努力塑造我們的思想，或者甚至極力迫使我們做我們不相信的事情。這就是為什么我們應該對自己保持誠實。自己拿主意，永遠都不要在自己是誰的問題上妥協(xié)。
6. Insist on only being around those who make you a better or happier person
Cut out those in your life that bring you down. Only surround yourself with people who care about you just as much as you care about them. Don’t give in to being someone’s fall back plan. It can be hard to cut people from our lives, but it is also necessary. Surrounding yourself with people who make you happy will onlybenefit your life.
只和使你進步或者使你快樂的人在一起。
離開生活中讓你不開心的人。只和那些你關心他們就和他們關心你一樣的人在一起。不要向拖你后腿的人讓步。在生活中和一些人斷絕關系很難，但也很有必要。能給你快樂的人圍繞在你周圍會使你受益終生。
7. Insist on learning from your mistakes
No matter what people say, you will make mistakes in your life. Life is a learning process in itself. Somepeople will make you feel bad about your mistakes, or insult you for making them. However, don’t let thatstand in your way from learning from them. Accept your mistakes fully and really figure out what went wrong. Knowledge is power.
學會從錯誤中吸取教訓。
無論人們說什么，你一生中都會犯錯誤。生活本身就是一個學習的過程。一些人會讓你感覺犯錯誤很糟糕，或者因此羞辱你。然而，不要讓它阻礙你從錯誤中吸取教訓。完全接受自己的錯誤，真正找出錯處在哪兒。知識就是力量。
8. Insist on sticking up for what you believe in
We will all be tested at some point in life to go against what we believe in. Our morals are a strong part of who we are, and it is important to stand up for what you believe. No matter what other people say or try toinfluence you with, stand tall against them.
堅持你的信念。
生活中，有些事情會違背我們的信念而讓我們經(jīng)受考驗。道德是我們到底是誰這個問題的重要組成部分。堅持我們的信念很重要。無論其他人說什么或者極力影響你，你都要堅守自己的信念。
9.Insist on discarding all the drama from your life
When we are younger we all gossip and focus on the drama that goes on in the world. Growing up we learnthat drama isn’t exactly as exciting as we though it was. It brings us down and actually makes life moredifficult. It’s time to grow up and cut out whoever and whatever drama is taking over your life. Drama-free isthe way to be!
生活中不要小題大做
年輕的時候，我們經(jīng)常閑談或注意世上讓你激動的事情。隨著我們的長大我們了解到，那些事情并不像我們想的那么激動人心。這些事情會使我們沮喪確切地說會使我們的生活更加的困難。該到長大的時候了，也該到別讓那些無論是誰還是什么事來掌控我們的生活的時候了。別讓紛紛擾擾的事情擋道才是正道。
10. Insist on letting go of the past
It’s hard to let go of the past sometimes, but it can really be affect your future. No matter what anyone has tosay about it, insist on letting go of your past and previous grudges, and focus on the here and now. The pastmight have made you who you are, but the future holds the power to change you into who you want to be. Letgo and feel the freedom that comes with it.
忘掉過去
有時放手過去很難，但是那會影響你的未來的生活。無論別人說什么，要放棄過去的恩怨，活在當下。過去或許成就了現(xiàn)在的你，但是將來擁有如此力量，它會使你成為你想成為的人。放手吧，隨之而來的是自由。
11. Insist on embracing change and creativity
A popular aphorism is,”You cannot solve a problem in the same state of consciences that created it.” Noteverything can be solved in a traditional way. Change and creativity are vital in today’s world. Things arealways changing, so why should we be any different? Embracing change will help you grow as a person, andbring you opportunities that you would have otherwise missed out on. Creativity allows your mind a chance tothink differently and more freely. Don’t listen to what others say about how change is bad, instead makesomething out of it.
擁抱變化和創(chuàng)造力
有一個流行的名言是“你不可能以問題出現(xiàn)時的情形去解決它。并不是所有的事情都可以用傳統(tǒng)的方法。在當今世界，變化和創(chuàng)造力是至關重要的。事情總是在變化，所以為什么我們不應該有變化？接納變化會有助于你的成長， 會給你帶來一些機會，不然的話你有可能錯過這些機會。創(chuàng)造力可以使你思維不受約束并且與眾不同。不要聽信別人說變化多么糟糕，相反，我們要從變化中獲取些什么。
12. Insist on paying it forward
Not everyone is as fortunate as you might be. Try to remember that everyday. Take some time and give backto the community that you live in. Giving back will boost your mood no matter what you are going through. Nomatter what people might say to bring you down, just remember that you have the power to brightensomeones else’s day. Always pay it forward.
回報社會
并不是每個人都像你一樣幸運。每天努力記住這一點?；c時間回報你生活的社區(qū)。無論你在經(jīng)歷什么，這樣做會使你的心情很好。無論別人說些讓你多么沮喪的話，記住你有權利讓某個另外的人擁有快樂的一天。要回報社會。
13. Insist on honesty
Being honest isn’t always the easiest thing to do, but it is definitely always the right thing to do. No matterwhat people say you should always be honest with yourself and others. Being honest will help you stay true toyourself, and you will be a better person for it. Lies can get you caught up in bad situations, relationships, andeven cause inner conflict. It’s best to always insist on honesty.
堅持誠信
做到堅守誠信不是最容易的事情，但是很明確是最正確的事。不管別人說什么，你應該對自己及其他人誠實。對自己做到問心無愧可以使你因此變得越來越好。謊言會使你陷入窘境及糟糕的人際關系中，甚至會引起你的內心矛盾。最好堅守誠信。
14. Insist on being dedicated
Today we see a lot of those get-rich-quick scheme and lose-100-pounds-in-a-day pills. Things in life aren’talways what they appear to be, and we all know that. However, being dedicated to something will pay off. Whether you are dedicated to getting healthy, following a dream, or getting a better-paying job, we all knowthat time will be involved. Good things don’t just happen overnight, they take time and effort. Insisting onputting your all into something and being dedicated to the outcome you want will help you achieve your goals.
堅持專注你做的事。
現(xiàn)在我們看到很多快速致富的計劃、日減百磅的藥片。現(xiàn)實生活里的事并不是他們看起來的樣子，這一點我們都知道。然而，堅持專注一件事情會有所回報。無論你在致力于保持健康、追逐夢想，還是在找一份報酬好點的工作，我們都知道這是要投入時間的。好事情不會一夜之間來到，是需要付出時間和努力的。堅持付出并致力與你想要的結果會有助于實現(xiàn)你的目標。
15. Insist on appreciating what you have
We can forget to take a step back and enjoy what we have in life. This can take away from our happiness. Sometimes you just need to sit back and be happy about where your life is right now, and what you have toshow for it. Sure people might tell you it’s not good enough, but don’t listen to them. It is good enough, and itgives you a sense of pride when you can enjoy the things you already have in life.
珍惜你所擁有的。
我們會忘了后退一步欣賞我們生活中所擁有的一切。這樣會使我們遠離幸福。有時我們需要坐下來享受一下我們現(xiàn)有的生活，并把你所擁有的秀出來。當然，人們或許會說那些還不夠好，但是別聽他們的。那已經(jīng)很好了，當你可以享受你生活里擁有的一切的時候，它給了你一種自豪感。
16. Insist on listening to your heart
Sometimes you just need to follow your instincts and do what your heart tells you. There are some situations, like relationships, that rely more on your heart than on your head. People will surely tell you differently, butyou should always insist on listening to what you want and feel. Again, you are the one who lives with yourchoices, and you are the one that has to live with the “what ifs.” Sometimes you just have to follow yourheart.
聽從你的內心
有時你需要跟隨你的直覺，做你內心想做的事。有一些情形比如人際關系，更多的是依靠內心而不是你的頭腦。別人當然有不同的觀點，但是你應該堅持相信你想要的以及你的感覺。再一次的說明，你的選擇你做主，你的選擇你享受，你是不得不承受 “當初要是那樣就好了”的選擇的人。有時你不得不聽從你的內心。
17. Insist on making time for yourself
We get so tied up in everything that’s going on around us, and how busy our schedules are, that we forget tomake time for ourselves. No matter how busy you are in your daily life, make sure to set some time aside to focus on you. You deserve it.
一定要為自己留出時間
我們常常糾纏于周圍的事情以及緊張的日程安排而忘記了留出自己的時間。無論你日常生活多么忙，一定留出時間來關注自己。這是你理所應當?shù)摹?/span>
18. Insist on kindness
Too many people experience being bullied. It’s amazing what a small act of kindness can do for someone. Make yourself a better person and insist on being kind. You never know what someone else is going through. Being kind will also keep you more grounded in life and more positive. All these things have a positive impact on you.
堅守善良
許多人都有被人欺辱的經(jīng)歷。一個小小的善良之舉對一個人的影響會令人吃驚。向善并堅持做好事。你永遠都不知道別人有什么經(jīng)歷。做善事會讓你多磨練自己從而變得更加樂觀向上。所有的事情對你都會有積極的一面。
19. Insist on living in the moment
In this crazy world we can all get caught up in everything except what’s happening in the moment. Take astep back and really enjoy the memories you are making. It’s nice to look back on picture of moments youhad in life, but its even better to remember how you felt in that exact moment. Life your life to it’s fullest andembrace the moments.
活在當下
在這個瘋狂的世界里，我們糾纏于除了當前以外的一切事情。后退一步享受你的回憶。欣賞照片里的美好的記憶當然是一件愜意的事，但是感知當下會比它更美妙。活出極致，擁抱當下。
20. Insist on finding time for pleasure
I said it before, and I will say it again: we get so caught up in everything around us that we forget to take abreak—or even a breath sometimes. No matter how busy you are make sure to find some time and dosomething that you really enjoy. Whether that’s catching up with a good friend, reading a new book, or evenwatching your personal guilty pleasure on TV, just make sure you make time for it. Life goes by way too fastto not bring yourself some pleasure everyday.
留出娛樂時間，
我以前說過，現(xiàn)在還要重申：我們糾纏于周圍的一切而 忘記了休息甚至呼吸。無論你多么忙，你確保留出自己的時間做點自己感興趣的東西。無論是去追趕老朋友還是讀一本書甚至觀看電視上有點負罪感的個人樂事，留出自己的時間就好。時間飛逝，不會每天都會帶給你快樂。
