I've written about workplace happiness in the past, but many of mysuggestions require consistent effort. Here are five sure-fire, incredibly easyactions that will immediately improve your workplace experience:

　　之前我寫過職場幸福，但是我給出的大部分建議需要持之以恒。下面是5個有效又簡單的方法能夠快速提高你的職場體驗：

　　1. Take a "quiet minute" each morning.

　　1. 每天早上享受安靜的一分鐘。

　　Within your morning routine, carve out a minute--60 seconds--to be silent,by yourself. Don't think about work. Read a poem or say a prayer. Or just restyour brain. You'll be amazed at how much extra energy it will create for therest of your day.

　　在你早晨的例行時間內，抽出一分鐘——60秒——獨自安靜的待著。不要想工作。讀一首詩或是禱告，哪怕只是讓大腦休息一下。你會驚訝于接下來的一天這一分鐘給你帶來的額外能量。

　　2. Smile more frequently.

　　2. 多笑。

　　Smiling accomplishes two things. First, it tells your brain to be morehappy. (Try being depressed with a huge grin stuck on your face.) Second, whenyou smile it tends to make other people smile, too. It's contagious, in a goodway.

　　微笑可以帶來兩個好處。一是告訴你的大腦快樂一些。(你試試咧著嘴笑還能郁悶嗎。)二是當你笑的時候，其他人也會跟著笑。這是傳染的，當然是以一種積極的方式。

　　3. Give yourself more credit.

　　3. 給自己更多的肯定。

　　Take a second to give yourself a mental and emotional pat on the back everytime you complete a project, even if it's only a small part of a larger effort.This creates a sense of accomplishment that keeps you from feelingoverwhelmed.

　　每完成一個項目后，抽時間給自己精神和情感上的慰藉，哪怕你的功勞只是九牛一毛。這能讓你有一種成就感，而不會自慚形穢。

　　4. Celebrate when you learn something.

　　4. 每當學成什么就慶祝一下。

　　If you're alive, you can't help learning something new every day. The trickhere is to recognize when you've learned something new and potentiallyimportant. That's a victory and worth a quiet, inner "hooray!"

　　如果你還活著，就避免不了學習新的東西。關鍵是你要認識到自己學到的東西是新的而且有潛在價值。那就是一種勝利，值得在心理默默慶祝。

　　5. Enjoy human nature.

　　5. 享受人性。

　　Let's face it: People do really strange things. You have a choice whenconfronted with these foibles: 1) Be irritated; or 2) Be amused. Being irritatedmakes you miserable but being amused helps you find creative ways to work aroundthe limitations of others.

　　讓我們面對現實：人們確實會做一些奇怪的事。當你面對以下兩種小缺陷時可以做一個選擇：1)生氣;2)驚訝。生氣會讓你痛苦，但是驚訝卻能夠幫助你以富有創造力的方式處理他人的缺點。

　　6. Say thanks to those who do thankless tasks.

　　6.對那些做不值得稱道的事的人說謝謝。

　　You probably already know that you should thank co-workers and customers ona regular basis. But what about the janitors, the facilities people, the callcenter staff? They've got really tough jobs and seldom hear that theircontributions are valued.

　　基本上你應該知道同事和客戶值得感謝。但是門衛呢，器械維修工呢，客服中心的員工呢?他們的工作很辛苦卻很少得到他人對他們工作給予肯定。
