英语美文阅读:最忙的时候也要对自己微笑
每天，当细碎的阳光透过玻璃窗洒满飘窗，当啁啾的鸟鸣像一首美妙的音乐淌过耳膜，告诉自己：新的一天开始了，记得，给自己一个微笑。
Having a happier life is something we all always strive for,and being happy encompasses so many aspects—mental, physical and spiritual—of our lives.
幸福是我们一直都在追求的东西，但是幸福也包括很多方面----我们生活的心理、身理、和精神方面。
What I’ve learned from being happy is that no matter how bad our days get, happiness can be found, especially when we consistently try to consciously be happy.
在追求幸福的过程中我学到的就是不管生活多糟糕，幸福一直都在，特别是当我们一直坚持着想要幸福的时候。
1. Learn how to relax when setbacks arise.
在遇到困难的时候要学会放松
We do not live in a perfect world. Some days are great; some days are not. Some days, the buses run extremely late, and you swear you’ll never take the public transport ever again. Accept the fact that things may not go as planned. Instead of trying to change something you can’t, focus your energy on changing something that is within your control.
我们生活的环境并不会一直如意。有些天还不错，有些天却很糟糕。有些天连公交车也走得出奇的慢，你发誓再也不会乘坐公共交通工具。要学着接受生活有时候不如您所愿的这一事实，与其试着去改变一些不可能的事情还不如将你的精力放在你能掌控的'事情上。
2.Laugh in the middle of a busy day.
最忙的时候也要对自己微笑
It’s 3 PM on a Friday afternoon and you’re desperate to leave the office. On top of the work you have, you’re running close to a super important deadline. Instead of blaming everything not going your way, take a moment to laugh.
现在是周五下午的3点，你是拼了命的想要离开。但是你还有一堆的工作要做，有些很重要的事项眼看就要到截止日期了。与其抱怨一些不如你所愿的事情还不如忙里偷闲笑一笑。
