Everyday routine

 

每天小事

 

Give back.

回馈

 

I am a lucky man. My family and I have everything we need and most of what we want. It is with a thankful heart that I accept the gifts provided. Every day my intent is to give back so I can express my gratitude¹.

我是个幸运的人，我和我的家人有所需要的一切以及大部分想要的东西。我怀着一颗感恩的心来接受给我的礼物，每天我都想有所回馈来表达我的感恩之情。

 

Giving back can be more than just giving money. It can be defined by providing a compliment, making someone's day a little easier, or taking the time to do what someone can't do. Giving back is offering a part of you freely and without expecting anything in return.

回馈不仅仅是给钱。它也可以是赞美，或让别人的一天过得容易一点儿，或拿出时间做别人无法做的事情。回馈是自由地帮忙但不期望任何回报。

 

A simple act of giving can cascade² from one person to another until a landslide³ of gratitude builds up so much momentum⁴ that its force can't be held back any longer. Contribute to this momentum every day to experience its life-changing power.

给予这一简单的行为可以从一个人传递到另一个人，直到感激之情有了压倒性的气势，力量势不可挡。 每天都积累一下这种感激之情吧，来感受一下它改变生活的魔力。
