31、恼,每天都有烦恼,最重要的是你不理会烦恼,烦恼自然就没有了!因此,朋友们,最好的活法,就只要记住这两句话:烦恼天天有,不捡自然无!当你不开心的时候,想想自己还剩下多少天可以折腾,还有多少时间够你作践。你开心,这一天过了;不开心,一天也过了。想明白了,你就再也不会生气了。当你烦恼的时候,想想人生就是减法,见一面少一面,活一天就少一天,还有什么好烦恼的呢,不忘人恩,不念人过,不思人非,不计人怨。不缺谁,不少谁,对得起良心就好。当你忧伤的时候,想想生活就是一场路过,赤条条来,赤条条去,带不来一丝尘土,带不走半片云彩。什么功名利禄,什么人情往份,啥你都带不走,想明白了,还有什么好难过的?当你不满的时候,想想和富人比,我们活着知足就是幸福。和病人比,我们活着健康就是幸福。和死人比,我们还活着就是幸福。人这辈子想活好,心要简单,人要糊涂。当你生气的时候,想想是否有必要为不值得的人生气?有必要为不值得的事闹心?好好吃饭,好好睡觉,好好养老,好好花钱就可以了。你好好的,家人好好的,一切也就好好的了!当你计较的时候,想想人在世间走,本是一场空,何必处处计较
