八条通往健康,财富,幸福之道（英汉对照）

  

在我的有生之年，我注意到我趋向于做一些与众不同的事情。有些事可能刚刚好，然而有些事却使我不得不问我自己“为什么并不是人人都这样做呢”以下八件事情会让你觉得你在欺骗规律。

1.  步行 我并不是指去散步，我的意思是设计一下你的生活，以至于你能多走走。不管是去工作、杂货店、朋友家、还是酒 吧，或是所有地方，尽量步行、骑自行车、或者单脚滑翔车去。花十五分钟的车程只是为了去体育馆的脚踏车上走一个小时？如果你足够幸运，有两条还能走路的腿，为什么不用上它们呢？

2.  微笑 所有时刻，请保持微笑。即使是出纳找错了你钱的时候。人们通常并无恶意，特别是他们不是面对侦探的时候。

3.  喝水 也可以说成是“不要喝苏打或咖啡”。既浪费钱，损害健康，对牙齿也没什么好处。省省吧，除非你真的需要咖啡因的时候。

4.  买二手的  关于我的这点哲学，已经应用在音乐上了。与其在一个节俭储存收率项目那里买不是很有水洗感觉的衣服，我宁愿在其它我喜欢的衣服店里买，只要花一点点钱。这个策略在书和家具上同样行得通。通过买二手的东西，你会得到冒险的发现，同时也避免了只有消耗当代的平面艺术的体验

5.有待安排  你可以把这一点运用到一系列的事情上，但我再也找不出比“我的'收件箱/发件箱'这种方法更好的处理脏衣服的方法”。是不是应该把你所有的金融文件，打个比方，放在档案柜里。也许吧，但是当你的排列开始变乱的时候一定要意识到。

6.住小一点的地方  什么？你不能供应得起一个就在1号公路旁边的三室三卫，有一个大阳台，一个车库的房子？很好。这样你也不会买这么多废物了。从长远看，你能省钱了，也会更加快乐。

7.记住你的适应性有多强  如果把你扔到一个森林的中央你能活多久？你一定会对自己感到很惊讶，所以当你觉察到生活中有大的变化时不要担心。做必要的事情去获得一般水平的快乐是人的天性，一旦冒险成功，你会不断的超越自己。

8.不要给自己列太多规则-也不要去遵守它们（它们就是这样完蛋的）这种事情都是那些希望得到许多书签的博客所为。世界是综合的，根本就不可能浓缩在几条规则里面。

Eight   Life Hacks for Health, Wealth, and Happiness : kadavy.net

I’ve noticed in my short existence that I tend to do many things differently from most people. Some of those things probably work just as well, whereas others make me wonder “why doesn’t everyone do this?” Here are eight things that may make you feel like you’re cheating the system, too (in no particular order):



Walk – No, I’m not saying “go for a walk,” I’m saying design your life so that you walk more. Live close enough that you can walk/bike/razor scooter to something that you frequent whether that’s work, a grocery store, a friend’s house, a bar, or preferably – all of them. Why spend 15 minutes driving to a gym to spend half an hour on a treadmill? If you’re fortunate enough to have legs that work – use them.

Smile – All of the time. Even when the cashier gives you the wrong change. People’s intentions are usually good, especially when they’re dealing with someone who isn’t being a dick.

Drink Water – Or I could say “don’t drink soda or coffee.” It’s a waste of money, health, and teeth. Save your caffeine tolerance for when you really need it.

Buy Used – I’ve already told you about my philosophy as this applies to music. Buying my clothes at a thrift store yields items that are not-so-watered-down versions of what I would get at my other favorite clothing store, and that are a fraction of the price. This strategy transfers well to books and furniture. When you buy used you get the adventure of discovery, and avoid the flat artistic experience that comes with only consuming the contemporary.

Underorganize – There are a number things you can apply this to, but I can’t give a better example than my “inbox/outbox” method of doing laundry. Should you keep all of your financial documents etc. in a filing cabinet? Probably, but recognize when your organizing reaches the point of diminishing returns.

Live Small – What’s that, you can’t afford a three-bedroom, three bath house with a huge yard and garage in a neighborhood where #1 is possible? Good. Then you won’t buy so much crap. You’ll save money in the long run, and you’ll be happier, too.

Remember How Adaptable You Are – How long could you live if you were transported to the middle of a forest? You would probably surprise yourself, so don’t be afraid of perceived “big” changes in life. It’s a part of human nature to do what is necessary to reach at least previous levels of happiness, but risks succeeded will get you there and then some.

Don’t Make Lists of Rules – or Follow Them (They All End This Way) – Such things are only made by bloggers hoping to get lots of del.icio.us bookmarks. The world is too complex to be condensed into a list of rules.
