Within your morning routine, carve out a minute--60 seconds--to be silent, by yourself. Don't think about work. Read a poem or say a prayer. Or just rest your brain. You'll be amazed at how much extra energy it will create for the rest of your day.

在你早晨的例行時間內，抽出一分鐘——60秒——獨自安靜的待著。不要想工作。讀一首詩或是禱告，哪怕只是讓大腦休息一下。你會驚訝于接下來的一天這一分鐘給你帶來的額外能量。

Smiling accomplishes two things. First, it tells your brain to be more happy. (Try being depressed with a huge grin stuck on your face.) Second, when you smile it tends to make other people smile, too. It's contagious, in a good way.

微笑可以帶來兩個好處。一是告訴你的大腦快樂一些。（你試試咧著嘴笑還能郁悶嗎。）二是當你笑的時候，其他人也會跟著笑。這是傳染的，當然是以一種積極的方式。

Take a second to give yourself a mental and emotional pat on the back every time you complete a project, even if it's only a small part of a larger effort. This creates a sense of accomplishment that keeps you from feeling overwhelmed.

每完成一個項目后，抽時間給自己精神和情感上的慰藉，哪怕你的功勞只是九牛一毛。這能讓你有一種成就感，而不會自慚形穢。

If you're alive, you can't help learning something new every day. The trick here is to recognize when you've learned something new and potentially important. That's a victory and worth a quiet, inner "hooray!"

如果你還活著，就避免不了學習新的東西。關鍵是你要認識到自己學到的東西是新的而且有潛在價值。那就是一種勝利，值得在心理默默慶祝。

Let's face it: People do really strange things. You have a choice when confronted with these foibles: 1) Be irritated; or 2) Be amused. Being irritated makes you miserable but being amused helps you find creative ways to work around the limitations of others.

讓我們面對現(xiàn)實：人們確實會做一些奇怪的事。當你面對以下兩種小缺陷時可以做一個選擇：1）生氣；2）驚訝。生氣會讓你痛苦，但是驚訝卻能夠幫助你以富有創(chuàng)造力的方式處理他人的缺點。

You probably already know that you should thank co-workers and customers on a regular basis. But what about the janitors, the facilities people, the call center staff? They've got really tough jobs and seldom hear that their contributions are valued.

基本上你應該知道同事和客戶值得感謝。但是門衛(wèi)呢，器械維修工呢，客服中心的員工呢？他們的工作很辛苦卻很少得到他人對他們工作給予肯定。
