　　參考譯文

　　增加好運(yùn)的第一個(gè)原則就是要尋求多樣化。越是多樣化，你的生活就越豐富，機(jī)遇越多。生活越是多樣，意想不到的事情就越有可能發(fā)生聯(lián)系，從而給我們帶來改善自己情況的機(jī)會(huì)。能夠隨機(jī)應(yīng)變是在不斷變化且無法預(yù)測(cè)的時(shí)代中存活下來的最好方式。

　　當(dāng)我們找東西，例如找一副遺失的眼鏡時(shí)，總是遵循同樣的搜尋方式并不是一個(gè)好辦法。尋找快樂亦是如此。靈活點(diǎn)。從錯(cuò)誤中學(xué)習(xí)。嘗試多種不同的可能性。

　　多樣性對(duì)于快樂是必要的。無論我們的生活看起來多么富裕，如果它們只是由預(yù)期的事情以及重復(fù)構(gòu)成，無聊就會(huì)乘虛而入。我們?cè)谝饬现獾氖虑楹腕@喜中獲得快樂。對(duì)不確定表示接受會(huì)給生活增添快樂，還有助于積累好運(yùn)。然而，有時(shí)候用力氣筑起高墻，盡力保護(hù)自己免受未知的傷害似乎更簡單。我們購買人壽保險(xiǎn)、家庭保險(xiǎn)、汽車保險(xiǎn)。我們努力工作，儲(chǔ)存金錢。但是所有的這些計(jì)劃都不能保證安全。我們需要找到勇氣去歡迎未知。

　　我們每個(gè)人都應(yīng)找到一個(gè)會(huì)增加多樣性的行動(dòng)：訂閱一份新的雜志、去上班時(shí)走一條完全不同的路線、報(bào)名參加一門夜校課程。然后集中于它的積極結(jié)果。這種積極性的強(qiáng)化以及感受到做自己喜歡的事情帶來的快樂會(huì)為我們進(jìn)行下一次行動(dòng)帶來勇氣。

　　接受此時(shí)真實(shí)的自己會(huì)給我們帶來前行的勇氣。相信我們過去的所有選擇都是我們當(dāng)時(shí)能做的最好的選擇，這樣我們就不會(huì)后悔，并且會(huì)堅(jiān)定我們的信念，那就是此刻我們盡了最大努力將一切做好。對(duì)未來最好的準(zhǔn)備就是接納此刻的自我。接納自我和信任他人是有信心和勇氣的基礎(chǔ)。

　　接納自我、勇氣和行動(dòng)并不能保證好運(yùn)，但它們確實(shí)是更富裕、更圓滿人生的保證。
