5. Unplug every once in a while.
偶爾“斷電”。
Facebook, texting, Twitter, Snap Chat... we're bombarded with information daily -- and not allof it is good. Studies have shown that spending time on social media can actually make us feellonely and bad about ourselves. Turn off that computer and let yourself be happy.
臉書、短信、推特、“閱後即焚” 照片應用……我們每天都被信息轟炸着——不是所有信息都是有益的。研究表明：我們在社交媒體上花時間，其實會讓我們感覺孤獨而且自憐自哀。把電腦關掉，讓自己快樂。
6. Say thank you.
表達感謝。
Gratitude can help you focus on the positive aspects in your life. Send a thank you note tosomeone you care about, just because. You'll feel happier for it.

Aside from their unconventional health benefits, good books can put your mind in anotherplace -- perhaps, even, a positive place.
除了它們對健康不同尋常的益處之外，好的書籍能把你的思維帶到別的地方——甚至，也許是更積極的地方。
8. Dance (or sing) it out.
盡情地跳舞(或者唱歌)。
Ever notice how when you're grooving to your favorite tune or screaming lyrics as you drivedown the road, your mood elevates? Turns out that's no coincidence. Studies have shownthat singing and dancing can be an instant, positive mood booster.
注意到過嗎?當你隨着最愛的歌曲盡情搖擺或者是在開車下坡時大聲唱歌時，心情大幅度提升了。這其實不是巧合。研究表明唱歌跳舞能快速讓心情變好。

Habit習慣
In truth,
the only difference between those
who have failed and those who
have succeeded lies in the
difference of their habits.
Good habits are the key to all success.
Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure.
Thus, the first law I will obey is that
I will form good habits and become their slave.

成功與失敗的最大區別，
來自不同的習慣。
