　　Most people are wrong about the things that will make them happy. Professor Paul Dolan says it's actually quite simple.

　　大多數(shù)人關(guān)于怎么令自己幸福的想法都是錯(cuò)誤的。保羅·杜蘭教授說，其實(shí)這很簡單。

　　Earning more money; bagging the fabulous job you have always wanted or travelling the world might seem like the key to happiness.

　　賺更多的錢;做著一個(gè)你自己夢寐以求的好工作，或者去世界各地旅游看起來都是幸福的關(guān)鍵。

　　But according to happiness expert Prof Paul Dolan, making simple changes are the key to bringing joy and purpose into your life.

　　但是根據(jù)幸福專家保羅·杜蘭教授所說，做一些簡單的改變才是給生活帶來歡樂跟目標(biāo)的關(guān)鍵。

　　Dolan, a professor at the London School of Economics and government advisor claims that many of the things people believe will make them happy are fleeting and can actually alter their lives in a negative way.

　　倫敦經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)院教授杜蘭，同時(shí)也是政府顧問的他認(rèn)為：人們相信能使他們幸福的大多數(shù)東西都是稍縱即逝的，這事實(shí)上是在消極地來改變他們的生活。

　　在海伊文學(xué)藝術(shù)節(jié)上，杜蘭教授說：“重要的是要改變你所做的，而非你所想的。”

　　“You should listen to music that you like listening to. That has a substantial effect on your mood. There is no other stimulation like music to arouse the brain.

　　“你應(yīng)該聽聽那些你喜歡的音樂。那會(huì)對你的情緒產(chǎn)生很大的影響。沒有什么能比聽音樂更能喚醒你的大腦了。”

　　“You spend five minutes more with someone you like and go outdoors. And helping someone is important. Helping other people is a very selfless thing to do. It’s a great source of happiness for you. Just randomly help someone and see the difference.”

　　“花多五分鐘的時(shí)間跟你喜歡的人去戶外走走。幫助他人也很重要。幫助他人是一件很無私的事情，對你來說也是幸福的源泉。隨手之勞幫別人一把，然后看看會(huì)有什么不同。”

　　“And having a new experience is really important. The great thing about new experiences is they actually slow time down. It’s why life feels so slow for children because they are experiencing new things all the time. So if you want to slow down time then have as many new experiences as you can.”

　　“去嘗試嘗試新的東西真的很重要。新的體驗(yàn)最贊的地方就是它們事實(shí)上能讓時(shí)間慢下來。這就是為什么生活對于小孩子來說是緩慢的。因?yàn)樗麄円恢倍荚隗w驗(yàn)著新的東西。所以如果你想要時(shí)間慢下來的話，就去盡可能地嘗試些新的東西吧。”
