每个人都想要过上更好的生活。不管是找方法去改善你和你的家人朋友的关系，还是提高你的工作中的生产能力，还是拥有一个更健康的生活方式，还是有一个更平和的心境，等等，你都可以在这找到实现这些的建议。

　　But, what if you were just looking for a few basic tips and tricks for life in general? If that’s the case, here are the five best pieces of advice we can give you.

　　但是，如果你只是正在寻找一些生活的一些基本建议和技巧，那会怎样呢？如果是那样，这有我们可以给你的五个最好的建议。

　　1.Eat less CRAP and eat more FOOD.

　　少吃垃圾食品，多吃食物。

　　That’s right– eat better. For our bodies and minds, it all begins with what we put in our mouths every day. You can work out all you want, but all the exercise in the world can’t overcome a bad diet. Everyone is always benefited by eating healthier.

　　吃得更好绝对没错。对于我们的身体和心绪，都是开始于我们每天放入我们嘴中的东西。你可以随心所欲地锻炼，但这世界上的所有锻炼都不能克服一个糟糕的日常饮食。每个人都能从吃的更健康中受益。

　　2. Pick an exercise routine you’re going to enjoy and not dread.

　　选择一种你会享受而不是恐惧的日常锻炼

　　If you hate running on a treadmill, don’t force yourself to do it. You’re most likely going to eventually quit. If you enjoy playing tennis instead, then do that. Whatever form of exercise you enjoy the most (running, lifting weights, yoga, playing sports, mountain climbing, bicycling, etc.) just do it because as long as you’re doing some form of exercise, you’re improving your health and life in many ways.

　　如果你不喜欢在跑步机上跑步，那就不要强迫自己去这样做。你很可能会最终退出。如果你喜欢打网球，那么就去打网球。不管你最享受哪种形式的运动（跑步、举重、瑜伽、打球、爬山、骑自行车等），就去做，因为只要你做些锻炼，就会在许多方面改善你的健康和生活。

　　3.Develop positive habits.

　　培养良好的习惯。

　　To improve your life you need to develop positive habits that will override any negative ones you already have. So, how do you accomplish that? The answer is: you spend the next 66 days (or so) developing a new habit.

　　要改善你的生活，你需要培养那么能覆盖你已有的任何消极习惯的良好习惯。所以，如何做到这呢？答案就是：你花接下来的66天（左右）来培养一个新习惯。

　　4.Be in control of your responses to actions and words.

　　控制好你对行为和话语的反映。

　　Marcus Aurelius was a Roman Emperor and the last of the ancient Stoic philosophers. Stoics believed in mind over matter and to use logic and not emotions when dealing with what happens around them. Aurelius dealt with many issues in his reign, including his best friend attempting a coup against him. Through it all, Marcus chose to forgive those who betrayed him. In his collection of writings, Meditations, he also wrote that, “Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.” People say things based on how they perceive what’s around them. How you react to what people say and do to you is purely up to you.

　　马库斯·奥勒留是一位罗马皇帝以及最后一位古代斯多葛派哲学家。斯多葛学派认为精神高于物质，在处理周围发生的事情时应使用逻辑而不是情感。奥勒留在他的统治内处理了许多问题，包括他最好的朋友发动政变反对他。自始至终，马库斯都选择原谅背叛他的那些人。在他的文集《沉思录》中，他还写道“我们听到的每件事都是一个观点，而不是一个事实。我们看见的每件事都是一个观点，而不是真相。”人们基于他们如何看到周围的事情来说事。你如何对人们对你所说和所做的做出反映完全取决于你。

　　Another way to put it is the quote from Dennis Kimbro, “Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it.” So, control your reactions… All of this brings us to our last tip.

　　还有一种说法是丹尼斯·金姆的名言，“生活是10%的发生在我们身上的事情以及90%的我们对此如何反应。因此，控制你的反应…这一切都给我们带来了我们最后的提示。

　　5.Love unconditionally.

　　无条件地去爱。

　　Unconditional love is affection without limitations or boundaries. Conditional love is requiring someone else to earn your affection. Your family and loved ones should not have to earn your love. It should be given freely and without obligations. When you give unconditional love, you will receive it in return– maybe not by all– but you will. Conditional love, on the other hand, can lead to resentment because it requires some sort of exchange between individuals. Exchanges can be measured, and if one party feels their exchange is worth more than what they get in return, anger, resentment and jealousy will build up.

　　无条件的爱是没有限制或界线的感情。有条件的爱是要求别人来获得你的爱。你的家人和爱人不应该必须去争取你的爱。你应该免费给予，不带义务。当你给予无条件的爱时，反过来你也会获得它—可能不是所有人都给予—但你会得到。另一方面，有条件的爱会导致怨恨，因为它需要某种形式的个人之间的交换。交换是可以衡量的，如果一方感觉他们的交换价值超过他们所得到的回报，那就会产生愤怒、怨恨和嫉妒。

　　If you love someone unconditionally, you accept their flaws, and you will still love them regardless.

　　如果你无条件地去爱某些人，就是接受他们的缺点，并且会一直去爱他们。
