【摘要】:精品学习网整理了很多时候我们的生活就好像是开着自动挡,像是在敷衍了事,每天的生活都和前一天一模一样。生活不只是生存,生活是一种学问,让你学会如何生活。请看下文具体内容。
1. Love.
爱。
Perhaps the most important. Fall in love, if you aren't already. If you have, fall in love with your partner all over again. Abandon caution and let your heart be broken. Or love family members, friends, anyone -- it doesn't have to be romantic love. Love all of humanity, one person at a time.
也许这是最重要的。如果还没有爱的人的话,那就去爱一个人。如果你已经有了爱人,那么再和你的伴侣坠入一次爱河吧。别太谨慎小心,就算心碎也没关系。或者去爱家人、朋友,去爱任何人,不一定非得是浪漫的爱情。爱所有的人,一次只爱一个。
2. Get outside.
出去走走。
Don't let yourself be shut indoors. Go out when it's raining. Walk on the beach. Hike through the woods. Swim in a freezing lake. Bask in the sun. Play sports, or walk barefoot through grass. Pay close attention to nature.
不要老让自己呆着屋子里。下雨天时出去走走,在海滩上散散步,徒步穿过森林,在冰冷的湖中游泳,晒晒太,进行体育活动,或赤脚在草地上走走。和大自然紧密接触。
3. Savor food.
品尝食物。
Don't just eat your food, but really enjoy it. Feel the texture, the bursts of flavors. Savor every bite. If you limit your intake of sweets, it will make the small treats you give yourself (berries or dark chocolate are my favorites) even more enjoyable. And when you do have them, really, really savor them. Slowly.
不要只是吃东西,而要去真正地品尝食物。感受食物的口感和味道。仔细品尝每一口。如果你平时限制自己吃甜食,那么每一口(我最喜欢浆果或黑巧克力)品尝起来会更加可口。当你吃的时候,一定要好好地慢慢地品尝。
4. Create a morning ritual.
形成早晨的习惯。
Wake early and greet the day. Watch the sun rise. Out loud, tell yourself that you will not waste this day, which is a gift. You will be compassionate to your fellow human beings, and live every moment to its fullest. Stretch or meditate or exercise as part of your ritual. Enjoy some coffee.
早点儿起床,迎接新一天的到来。看着太阳升起,大声告诉自己你不会浪费这一天,因为这是份礼物。你会对自己的同胞充满同情慈悲之心,也会充分利用生活中的每时每刻。把伸展身体、冥想或锻炼身体作为每天日常活动的一部分,记得享受美味的咖啡。
5. Take chances.
冒险。
We often live our lives too cautiously, worried about what might go wrong. Be bold, risk it all. Quit your job and go to business for yourself (plan it out first!), or go up to that girl you've liked for a long time and ask her out. What do you have to lose?
我们通常都活得过于谨慎,担忧着怕自己哪里会出错。勇敢一点,冒冒险。辞去工作,为自己打工(但先要计划好!)或约会心仪已久的女孩。你还有什么可失去的呢?
6. Follow excitement.
追随你的兴奋点。
Try to find the things in life that excite you, and then go after them. Make life one exciting adventure after another (with perhaps some quiet times in between).
寻找生活中能让你兴奋的事情,然后就去做吧。让生活变成一件接一件的冒险。(不过中间应该留一些安静的时光。)
7.Find your passion.
找到自己的激情。
Similar to the above tip, this one asks you to find your calling. Make your living by doing the thing you love to do. First, think about what you really love to do. There may be many things. Find out how you can make a living doing it. It may be difficult, but you only live once.
和上面的建议相似,这条建议是让你去寻找自己的使命。做自己喜欢的事情来维持生计。首先,想清楚自己真正喜欢做什么。可能有很多种。找出一种你既喜欢又能谋生的工作。这可能很难,但是毕竟你只活一次。
8.Get out of your cubicle.
走出你的格子间。
Do you sit all day in front of computer, shuffling papers and taking phone calls and chatting on the Internet? Don't waste your days like this. Break free from the cubicle environment, and do your work on a laptop, in a coffee shop, or on a boat, or in a log cabin. This may require a change of jobs, or becoming a freelancer. It's worth it.
你是不是整天都坐在电脑前,不断处理琐碎的文件、打电话、在网上聊天?不要把你的时光都这样浪费掉。从格子间出来,在咖啡店里、船上或一个小木屋里用笔记本工作。这样的话你可能需要更换工作或成为自由职业者。但是这样做是值得的。
9.Turn off the TV.
关掉电视。
How many hours will we waste away in front of the boob tube? How many hours do we have to live? Do the math, then unplug the TV. Only plug it back in when you have a DVD of a movie you love. Otherwise, keep it off and find other stuff to do. Don't know what to do? Read further.
你有多少时间是浪费在电视机前?我们活着又有多长时间?计算一下,然后关上电视。只在你有一张想看的DVD时再把电视打开,其他的时间还是找点儿别的事情去做。不知道做什么?那就继续读下去吧。
10. Pull away from Internet.
断开网络。
You're reading something on the Internet right now. And it is just more wasting away of your precious time. You cannot get these minutes back. Unplug the Internet, then get out of your office or house. Right now! And go and do something.
你现在正在网上冲浪。但是上网其实浪费了你的宝贵时光。你不可能让时光倒流。断掉网络,从办公室或屋子里走出去。现在就做吧!出去做点儿别的事情。
