Achievement, after all, is an enduring process, not a single event. To achieve any worthwhile goal you must cover a lot of ground. You need to learn what works by trial and error. You must explore possibilities, many of which will only show you what doesn’t work. Just keep in mind that the mistakes and setbacks are a vital part of the process.
成就毕竟是一个持久的过程，而不是一个单一事件。要完成任何有价值的目标必须触及广泛。你必须要通过实验和错误去学习什么是管用的方法。你要去探索各种可能性，而其中很多都只是告诉你什么是行不通的，你要记住错误和挫折都是成功过程中的一个重要部分。
Take a break every now and then and pat yourself on the back. Applaud yourself for doing what needs to be done. And be careful not to spend so much time looking at how far you still have to go, that you forget to appreciate how far you’ve already come.
不时休息一下，并且自我鼓励。为你自己做的那些必须要做的事情喝彩。但你也要当心，不要花费太多的工夫仰望你还要走的路，也不要忘了赞赏自己已经走了的那么远的路。
6. I have more than enough to be happy.
我拥有的比充足让我快乐的还要多。
The happiest of people aren’t the luckiest, and they usually don’t have the best of everything either. They simply make the most of everything they do have. The reason so many people are unhappy is because they tend to look at what’s missing in their life, instead of what’s present.
最幸福的人并不是最幸运的人，他们也经常不能拥有所有最好的东西。他们只是简朴地把每件事情做得最好。有这么多人不幸福的原因，是因为他们光想着自己生命中失去的东西，而不是想他们现在拥有的。
Take a stand and flip the switch. Stop wishing you had more. Stop wishing you were somewhere else. Stop wishing you looked like someone else. Love your quirks enough to let them shine. Appreciate your body and use it to it’s full potential. Appreciate the things you have that so many others dream about. Scream it out loud if you must: I am lucky to be alive! I am happy to be me right now! My life isn’t perfect, it’s just pretty darn good!
现在就明确立场轻按下那个开关。不要再期望你拥有更多。不要再希望你在别的地方，不要再期望自己像别人一样。爱你的与众不同并让它们闪光。要感激你的身体然后发挥它最大的潜能；感激你拥有的一切，而这些也都是其他很多人梦寐以求的。如果需要的话你可以大声叫出来：我是幸运的，因为我还活着！我很幸福能成为现在的自己！我的生活并不完美，但已经充足幸福！
