Being selfless feels good—more than one study has demonstrated this. (Kind of throws a kink in the “selflessness” of the act, but we won’t worry about that…) Taking time to do a kindness for another person reminds you of the reasons you have to be thankful, all while strengthening your relationships with others. If you give and truly expect nothing in return, it’s rare to have any regrets about it.

为别人做件事

无私的感觉是好的——不只一项研究表明如此。（有些人对无私的行动有些奇怪的看法，但是我们不必为此担心…）花些时间为别人做件好事提醒你怀着感恩的理由，同时增强了你与他人的联系。如果你只是给予并且不指望回报，很少会为这感到后悔的。

Do One Thing for the Future

The future is a pretty fluid concept here: next week, next month, your 80th birthday… You can transfer funds to your savings accout, spend time talking with your child, do some yoga as part of a weight loss plan, anything that gets you one step closer to your goals for the future. Regardless of whether you’re learning French for next year’s trip or making a quilt to be passed down for generations, you need to stay connected with your future on a regular basis. That’s where some of your best moments are yet to be realized.

为未来做件事

未来在这里是个非常流动性的概念：下个星期，下个月，你的八十岁生日….你可以往你的存折上转账，花时间与你的孩子谈话，为减肥计划而做瑜伽，做些任何能让你更进一步接近你的未来目标的事情。不管是否是为了来年的旅行而学法语，或者为下一代做一床被子，你需要与你的未来在一个经常的基础上保持联系。那是一些你将体会到的最好的时光开始的地方
