11. Always practice gratitude

　　常常感恩

　　“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.” — Melody Beattie

　　“感恩开启生活的圆满。它使我们拥有更多，变拒绝为接受，化混乱为有序，使困惑变澄澈。它能将简餐变成盛宴、房屋变成家园、陌生人变成好朋友。”—— 梅洛迪-贝蒂

　　Gratitude improves health, happiness, spirituality, connection, relationships, self-worth and simply gives life intense meaning.

　　感恩改善健康、快乐、精神、关系、人际和自我价值，并赋予生活深刻内涵。

　　Even if your life isn’t perfect—and here’s a secret, it never will be perfect—you still have a lot to be grateful for. So every day remember to take the time to smile, laugh and truly say thanks for all the small and big joys in your life.

　　哪怕你的生活并不完美(其实生活从来不曾完美)，你仍有许多可以感恩的地方。所以，每天要记得微笑大笑，感激生活中或大或小的乐趣。

　　12. Love

　　爱心

　　This is an excerpt by the famous Martha Beck that has made an enormous impact on my life. It sums up regret beautifully:

　　下面一段话摘自玛莎-贝克的文字，把遗憾总结非常美妙，我感到受益匪浅：

　　“So the ultimate lesson of regret, the one that will help guide you into a rich and satisfying future, is this: Every time life brings you to a crossroads, from the tiniest to the most immense, go toward love, not away from fear. Think of every choice in terms of “What would thrill and delight me?” rather than “What will keep my fear—or the events, people, and things I fear—at bay?”

　　“最后一课是关于遗憾。能指引你走向丰富而圆满的未来的是：每次生活中遇到十字路口，不论大小，都选择爱心那条路，而不是恐惧方向。每次都告诉自己‘前方有什么有趣的事情在等我’，而不是暗示自己‘前方有什么可怕的事情或人物’。”

　　Pay attention to all of the sources of love in your life and you’ll develop a growing sense of abundance of how much beauty surrounds you each day.

　　关注生活中的点滴爱心，慢慢你会发现，每天的生活都那么丰富而美妙!

　　So let’s summarize: A cheat sheet to living without regrets
