Happiness 快乐

* Be present. For some reason, this extremely important skill is never taught to us when we’re kids. In truth, the younger we are, the more natural this skill is. As we get older, we start thinking about the future and the past, and the present seems to slip away from us. Some skills for living in the present would go a long way.
着眼现在：基于某些原因，我们小时候从未学到这个重要的技能。事实上，我们越年轻，就越能享受现在。当我们慢慢长大，开始担心将来，回顾过去，而“现在”则离我们而去。“活在现在”的技巧对我们是大有帮助的。

* Enjoy life. Kids don’t have much of a problem with this, but some awareness of its importance and how to do it, even as an adult, would be helpful. Set a good example of this, and your kids will follow.
享受生活：孩子们都在享受生活，但只有一部分意识到这个技能的重要性，并且应该如何进行。即使对于成年人，享受生活的技能依然大有益处，为你的孩子做好榜样，他们自然会模仿你的。

* Find purpose. Whether this is a higher religious purpose, or the purpose of making your family happy, or the purpose of finding your calling, having a purpose in life is extremely important. Teach your children the importance of this and show how to do it yourself.
寻找目标：拥有一个目标对于生活而是是极为重要的，无论是崇高的宗教目标，或者是为了让家庭幸福，又或者是你的职业目标。让孩子认识到目标的重要性，并且如何为自己找到目标。

* Develop intimate relationships. The best way to teach this is to develop an intimate relationship with your child, and model it with your spouse or other significant other (within appropriateness). Teach them the skills for developing these types of relationships, talk about the importance of it, and how to get through the bumpy parts as well. There are bad times in every relationship, but with the right skills of communication, empathy and compromise, they can get through them.
发展亲密关系：教导这个技能的最佳方式，就是和你的孩子建立亲密关系，并且以你和配偶（或其他适当的人）为范例。教会他们发展这种关系的技能，讨论它的重要性，并且学习如何克服冲突。生活中总会出现不和，但是通过交流、理解和妥协，我们就能言归于好。
