沉重的課業，繁忙的工作，日復一日的機械運動是不是讓你的生活失去了樂趣？其實快樂并不需要去尋找，看看這15個小貼士，讓你的重新找回快樂的感覺。
Every morning my daughter and I go for a twenty-minute walk to my workplace. For me, in those twenty minutes, I’m in transit. For my toddler, it’s nothing less than a parade of flowers, fire trucks, pebbles, and friendly folk.
每天清晨，我的女兒都跟我一起步行20分鐘去我工作的地方。對于我來說，在那20分鐘里我只不過是在路上。但對于我那剛會走路的小孩兒，這完全就是一場熱鬧的游行，隊伍中有鮮花、消防車、鵝卵石和友好的人們。
One morning, I noticed that a sweet old man, amused by my toddler, was watching her with a smile on his face. As we crossed his path, he chuckledto himself, “Children have all the fun!”
一天早上，我注意到一位和藹的老人，他被我的小孩兒逗樂了，面帶笑容地注視著她。當我們走過他跟前的小路時，他自己咯咯笑起來，“孩子們總是那么快樂！”
He’s right. They do. And clearly, I’m missing out! My age is no good reason for me to miss out on this street party!
他說得對。孩子們是這樣的。很明顯，我正錯失了這些快樂！就算我年紀大了，我也沒有理由錯過這街頭派對！
Now, I try to remember that fun is a perspective. It’s not a force bound within the walls of amusement parks. The days that I remember this, it makes all the difference.
現在我努力去記住：樂趣是一種思考問題的角度。它不是被游樂場的墻壁束縛、身在其中才能感受到的力量。我記住了這一點，我的生活變得完全不同。
Line-ups are a great way to make new friends. Dusting is a contemporarydance. My world is a playground.
排隊成了結交新朋友的一個好方法。打掃衛生的同時可以跳個舞。我的世界就是個游樂場。
We are born with a complete understanding of fun, which seems to fade over time and conditioning. I say we learn a thing, or 15, from children.
我們天生就完全理解什么是樂趣，但是樂趣似乎隨著時間和周圍條件而逐漸消失了。我認為我們應該從孩子們那里學習一件事，或者說是15件事。
1. Be where you are.
活在當下。
Kids are really good at enjoying the moment. Adults are addicted to thinking about all the things we have to do tonight, tomorrow, next week. Where you are is where the fun is. Nowhere else.
小孩子真的很善于享受當前的時刻。成年人則沉溺于思考我們必須在今晚、明天、下周做的所有事情。當下就是樂趣所在。別無他處。
2. Learn something new.
學習新鮮事物。
From new words to new facial expressions, kids are constantly mastering new skills. Make it a point to continuously be learning something, anything. Aren’t we the ones who tell our kids that “learning is fun”?
從新單詞到新表情，小孩子在不斷掌握新的技能。努力做到持續不斷地學習，學習任何事物都可。不正是我們告訴孩子們“學習很有趣”的嗎？
3. Get out of your comfort zone.
走出舒適區。
Toddlers take risks all day long. As we mature, we tend to stay in our safe place. Your day will be so much more exciting if you gather the guts to wear hot pink pants.
蹣跚學步的小孩兒一整天都在冒險，而我們這些已經成熟的人卻傾向于呆在我們的安全地帶。如果你鼓起勇氣穿上熱辣的粉色短褲，那么你的這一天會更加令人興奮。
