改变世界的小细节

Sort your problems.

把问题排序

Let's face it: There's a lot of bad stuff in the world.

让我们面对现实吧：世界上有很多不好的事情。

It can be a scary place, and we've all got problems we would be a whole lot happier without.

它会让人感到恐慌。我们都有问题，要是没有的话，会幸福地多。

But experiment with putting your problems into perspective -- or boxes: That breakup? Missing a really important deadline at work? Hurt feelings? Losing someone close to you? Probably worth some self-pity. That stain on your shirt? Not so much.

但是试一试用长远的眼光来看这些问题：分手？工作时错过了重要的截止时间？受伤的感觉？失去了亲近的人？或许值得自怜自哀。衬衫上的污渍？那就不值得了。

Let go of what you can. The less negative, the more room there is to be happy.

能放手就放手。负面因素越少，开心的空间就越大。
