Research suggests that people with a glass-half-full outlook are healthier than their pessimistic peers: They catch fewer colds, cope better with heart disease, and may even live longer.
　　研究显示总是看事物好的一面的人比他们同辈中悲观者更健康：更不易感冒，更不易得心脏病，甚至活的更长。

　Reframe Those "Disasters"
　　重组所谓的“灾难”

　　After, say, surviving a round of layoffs at your office, you may feel panicked about the prospect of losing your job. Maddux suggests letting go of the notion that there's only one job that will make you happy. "You may think that if you lose your job, you may never find another that's as fulfilling, but that's probably not the case," he says.
　　抗住了公司新一轮的裁员，也许你会因为担心会丢掉工作而恐慌。Maddux建议放弃那种只有唯一一种工作能使你开心的想法。他说，“也许你会担心是否会丢失工作，再也找不到比这更让人有满足感的工作了，但也许并不是这样。”

　　Take Control
　　掌控

　　Pessimists tend to think bad things happen to them because they simply have bad luck or because they don't have what it takes to be successful, says Maddux, when a bad economy or an unfaithful partner could really be the reason for getting laid off.
　　悲观主义者总是会认为，一些不好的事情发生是因为他们运气不好，或是并不具备成功的条件，Maddux说，萧条的经济或者不诚实的伙伴有可能是真正导致失业或者被炒鱿鱼的原因。

Stay Away From Downers
　　远离消极者

　　Misery loves company -- and if you're around gloomy people, there's a good chance you won't to be smiling. Make it your mission to dodge negativity. Surround yourself with supportive friends and spend time doing things that make you happy. Keep your distance from literature and movies that will bum you out, too.
　　不幸喜欢成群结伴——如果你身边有一群低落的人，你可能根本不会再笑了。要谨记时刻摆脱消极观念。周围有一群支持你的朋友，做一些让自己开心的事，远离那些会让你情绪低落的文学作品或电影。
