We spend a significant portion of our lives working, so why not do all we can to create a positive and enjoyable experience in the workplace?
我们生命中相当大一部分时间用于工作,因此何不尽我们所能,在工作场所中创造一种积极愉快的体验呢?
We had some fun with it and hope you enjoy reading it. Feel free to add to the list with your own ideas on how to be happy。
这份清单给我们带来了欢愉,我们也祝你阅读愉快。对于如何能让自己快乐,请随时在这份清单上添上你自己的意见。
1. Exercise More
多锻炼
It’s tough to be unhappy when you’re outside running, playing, and sweating. Exercising helps us not to sweat the small stuff—the little things that annoy us and take us off track from happiness. Another note: after exercising and sweating, please shower before returning to your workplace. This has a direct effect on the happiness of those around you。
你在户外跑步、游戏和流汗时,很难会感到不开心。锻炼能帮助我们避免庸人自扰的情绪——那些让我们烦恼并且不开心的鸡毛蒜皮的小事。另一个提醒:锻炼且出汗后,在返回工作时请先冲个澡。这直接影响着你周围那些人的心情。
We also believe that eating healthy is a key happiness factor. Traditional “comfort foods” laden with white flour and sugar might not be making you happy. We are not experts, but we do believe a healthy diet of natural foods increases the happiness factor。
我们还相信健康饮食是保持快乐的关键因素。传统的“慰藉食物”充满了白面粉和糖,可能不会让你心情愉快。我们不是专家,但我们确实相信健康的饮食可提高幸福感。
2. Sleep More
增加睡眠时间
Nothing helps you sleep at night better than an honest day of hard work. For employees with growing children, pass on this one. You aren’t going to sleep for 18-20 years。
没有什么比一天的辛劳工作更有助于保证你晚间的睡眠质量了。对于家有子女的雇员来说,请向他们转告这一条。你在18-20年里不会有充足的睡眠的。
3. Commute Less
减少通勤时间
It makes sense to us and it helps the environment. Plus, it allows you to accomplish the next item。
这对我们来说很有意义,并有助于保护环境。另外,它还能让你实现下一条。
4. Spend More Time with Family and Friends
花更多时间与家人和朋友在一起
Become friends with your work associates and you’ll spend even more time with those you care about. Believe that people are doing the best with the current resources available to them. Stop wasting time judging your coworkers。
和你的工作伙伴交朋友,你将有更多时间陪伴那些你关爱的人。相信人们借助其目前可用资源能够最出色地完成任务。不要将时间浪费在评判你的同事上。
5. Spend More Time Outside
增加户外活动的时间
We come up with our best ideas not in offices, but while we take walks, go out on the lake for sales board meetings, and play ultimate Frisbee。最好的点子不是产生在办公室里,而是在我们散步、在湖边举行销售会议和玩极限飞盘时出现。
6. Help Others
帮助他人
If you’re depressed, stop thinking about yourself and go serve someone else. We become naturally upbeat, energized, and happy when we can see happiness radiating from another human being。
如果你情绪低落,那么停止为自己考虑,而去为他人服务。当我们看到自他人身上散发出的幸福喜悦时,我们会自然而然地开朗起来,感到振奋,并心情愉快。
7. Practice Smiling – It Actually Alleviates Pain
练习微笑——这会减轻痛苦
We suggest taking this one up and laughing to eliminate the pain。
我们建议开始练习这一条并让自己展颜欢笑,以消除痛苦。
8. Plan a Trip (Even if You Can’t Take One)
计划一次旅行(即使你不能实际出行)
Our receptionist rides a stationary bike so that she “could take a trip and never leave the farm,” as she puts it. She travels a few miles each day while talking to our customers and greeting guests. She also eats fresh fruits and vegetables from her garden and walks a mile outside each day. She’s the happiest person we know。
我们的接待员玛丽莲-比格妮喜欢在前台蹬一辆健身车,因此她“不需离开岗位就可以踏上旅程”,她是这样描述的。她每天都要旅行几英里,同时与我们的顾客说着话并接待来宾。她还吃自家菜园种的新鲜水果和蔬菜,每天还会在户外散步一英里。她是我们认识的最快乐的人。

9. Meditate or Enjoy Soothing Music
冥想或欣赏舒缓人心的音乐
We’re more likely to listen to music than meditate. We are passionately curious about life. Music lifts us up. We may be tech-geeks, but we can still rock and roll with the best of them。
我们更有可能选择聆听音乐而非冥想。我们对生活充满了强烈的好奇。音乐可让我们放松心情。我们或许是科技极客,但我们仍能随着最优美的音乐而摇摆。
10. Be Grateful
心怀感恩
Our energy is increased when we add a little gratitude to all that we do. We are elevated by the opportunity to serve, uplift, and support others。
我们在所做的每一件事中都融入少许感激时,我们精神的活力会随之得到提升。我们通过服务、提携和支持他人而提升自我,从而保持心情的愉悦。
