心得(英文經過chatgpt協作):

There are tips for finding happiness, as well as those for avoiding unhappiness.
Experts recommend seeking alignment, practicing gratitude, and being mindful of how we respond to life events and the extent to which we compare ourselves to others.
Seeking alignment means ensuring that your actions and emotions are in harmony.
It involves being aware of what we're doing and finding happiness in it, as the Chinese saying goes 表裡如一.
When it comes to happiness, gratitude is the path to happiness. We can practice gratitude by finding three things, no matter how small, to be thankful for each day.
For example, drinking clean water, being grateful for each breath, and appreciating our family members.
Another aspect is viewing things with a positive perspective, like considering whether the glass is half empty or half full.
It's common to compare ourselves to others, but how can we make it beneficial for ourselves?
The book Secrets of the Millionaire Mind emphasizes this concept.
We can appreciate someone who has achieved what you aspire to.
Viewing things positively and with gratitude is essential.
Remember, it's a poor workman who blames his tools isn't correct attitude.
Finally, we should carefully consider seeking happiness in external possessions.
The experts warn us to avoid becoming a victims of hedonic treadmill.
This phenomenon suggests that we easily adapt to our improved cirumstances and the desire even more, even when it's unnecessary.
This might manifest in purchasing better cars, beatiful clothing, owning luxury goods, chasing higher income, or pursuing perfect partner.
If we confuse happiness with pleasure, we can find ourselves stuck in a never-ending cycle, much like a hamster running endlessly on a wheel.
Happiness and pleasure are distinct. The former is enduring and consistent, while the latter is fleeting and characterized by ups and downs.

  • seeing the glass half full- looking at things in a positive way.
  • alignment- being in the correct relation to things.
  • gratitude- being grateful and giving thanks.
  • satisfaction- the pleasant feeling of achieving something you really wanted to.

    • victim- someone or something that has been hurtdamaged, or killed or has suffered, either because of the actions of someone or something else, or because of illness or chance.
