尝试一些新事情

 　　Chances are you do the same things every day. You do the same work. You eat the same foods. You wear the same clothes. Shake things up by doing something new. Try a new approach. Take a new path. Even talk to someone new. All of these can pump up your attitude.

　　你可能每天都做同样的事情。你每天都做同样的工作，吃同样的食物，穿同样的衣服。尝试一些新事情来调整一下吧。试着用一种新的方法，或走一条新路，甚至还可以和陌生人聊天。这些都会让你的态度变得积极。

　　Look for the Opportunity

　　寻找机遇

　　Even the worst of circumstances have opportunities. Can you find the opportunity when things look bleak¹? I once had to leave a company due to an unethical boss. I was devastated² at the time, but it lead me to look at new careers that I had never considered.

　　即使是最差的环境也蕴育着机遇。当事情变得糟糕时，你能不能找到机遇？有一次，我因为一个缺乏职业道德的老板而不得不离开公司，但这也使得我去做之间从没想过的新事业。

　　Laugh

　　大笑

　　Like smiling, laughing is also something that is preprogrammed in all of us. However, along the road of life, many of us have lost our sense of humor. Want to turn around a bad situation? Look it in the eye and laugh. Then do something about it.

　　和微笑一样，大笑也是我们生来就具有的能力。然而在生活的路途中，很多人都失去了幽默感。想要扭转糟糕的局势吗？正视它，然后大笑。接着做一些事情来处理它。

　　Let Anger Go

　　释放愤怒

　　Anger doesn’t help in 99% of situations. In fact, it usually makes things worse. It clouds your judgement. It stresses others. It causes additional friction³ to whatever is happening. Learn to control your temper. Being calm under stress is a powerful skill.

　　99%的情况下愤怒都是没有用的。事实上，它有可能让事情变得更糟。愤怒会影响你的判断力，会给他人带来压力。无论是什么事情，愤怒都会带来额外的矛盾。学会控制自己的情绪。在压力下保持镇定是一项强大的技能。

　　Learn from Losing

　　从失败中学习

　　No one wins all of the time. Learn from the times that you lose. What can you learn from your missteps? All great champions were once losers at some point. But, they learned. And they kept a positive attitude until they got better.

　　没有人总是会赢。从失败中学习。你从你的过失中能学到什么？所有伟大的冠军都曾在某些时候失败过。但是他们从失败中学习，并且一直保持着积极的态度，直到自己变得更加出色。
