哈佛大学推荐的20个快乐习惯 　1. Be grateful.?要学会感恩。 　　Slow down, look around you, and pay attention to the little details in your life – the delicate purple flower on the sidewalk, the beautiful sunset, the hot shower that washes away your long day, and the smile in your partner’s eyes…让自己变慢脚步，看看你的四周，关注生活中的细微之处：人行道上淡紫色的花，美丽的日落，洗去你一天疲惫的淋浴，伴侣眼中的笑容。 　　When you have a grateful heart that is appreciative of life’s beautify, wonder and blessings, you’re automatically filled with happiness。当你的感恩之心能够欣赏生活的美，思考和祝福，你自然就充满了幸福感。 　　2. Choose your friends wisely。明智的选择自己的朋友。 　　According to Harvard, the most important external factors affecting individual happiness are human relationships. So if you want to be happy, choose to be around people who are optimistic, who appreciate you as you are, and who can make your life richer, bigger, more fun, and more meaningful。根据哈佛，影响个人幸福最重要的外部因素是人际关系。所以如果你想变得开心的话，要选择和乐观的朋友在一起，他们能欣赏你真实的自己，让你的生活变得更丰富，快乐，有意义。 　　3.

There will be less conflicts and more happiness。当我们代替别人，站在另一个角度看问题，我们更能用同情心，客观和有效的处理问题。生活中就会少一些冲突，多一点快乐。 　　4. Keep learning。不断学习。 　　Learning keeps us young and dreams keep us alive.
