5. Open up your mind to possibilities
向机遇敞开心怀
If you look in your garage and see a coiled, dark shadow that resembles a snake, your reaction might be to jump with fear, but later when you look closer and realize it’s just a green hose, you might feel silly for believing the tricks of your mind. Stop being controlled by your deluded projections.
如果你探头看到垃圾箱有个貌似蛇的黑乎乎蜷曲着的东西，第一反应肯定是吓了一跳，再细看时，你发现其实只是一截绿色水管，原来是自己看错了啊，你哑然失笑。所以，不要再被自己无端假想给绊住。
Change your perspective and open yourself up to a new world of exciting and fulfilling possibilities. Look at your life with fresh eyes and you’ll find improved relationships, more excitement, and less resentments, anger and bitterness.
换个视觉，敞开心胸接纳各种惊奇而有意义的机遇。用全新眼光审视自己的生活，你会发现更融洽的人际关系、更多开心，会少一些抵触、愤怒与痛苦。
6. Follow your own path—live a life true to you
听从内心——过自己的生活
Stop comparing yourself to others and stop striving for perfection. Life is not a masquerade ball—take off the mask, be yourself! If people don’t like it, then maybe it’s time to find a new party. Doing or being any other way will leave you feeling lonely, depressed and hopeless. Stop living a life based on the expectations of others.
停止与他人攀比，停止追求完美。生活不是一场化装舞会——摘掉面具，做回你自己吧！要是别人不喜欢，那就换个环境。有悖自我只会使你感到孤独、沮丧甚至绝望。不要再为了他人的期望而生活了。
