Keeping good ideas floating around in your head is a great way to ensure that they won’t happen. Here is a tip from writers: The only good ideas that come to life are the ones that get written down. Take out a piece of paper and record everything you’d love to do someday — aim to hit one hundred dreams. You’ll have a reminder and motivator to get going on those things that are calling you, and you also won’t have the burden of remembering all of them. When you put your dreams into writing, you begin putting them into action.

Recent studies show some interesting findings about habit formation. In these studies, students who successfully acquired one positive habit reported less stress; less impulsive spending; better eating habits; decreased caffeine consumption; fewer hours spent watching TV; and even fewer dirty dishes. Keep working on one

habit long enough, and not only the habit but other things as well will become easier. It’s why those people with the right habits seem to do better than others. They’re doing the most important thing regularly and, as a result, everything else is easier.

You can buy conditions for happiness, but you can’t buy happiness. It’s like playing tennis. You can’t buy the joy of playing tennis at a store. You can buy the

ball and the racket, but you can’t buy the joy of playing. To experience the joy of tennis, you have to learn, to train yourself to play. It’s the same with writing calligraphy. You can buy tools for it, but you can’t really do calligraphy without cultivating the art of calligraphy. So calligraphy requires practice and you have to train yourself. You are happy as a calligrapher only when you have the capacity to do calligraphy. Happiness is also like that. You have to cultivate happiness; you cannot buy it at a store.

* calligraphy: 서예

There is one sure way for lonely patients to make a friend — to join a group that has a shared purpose. This may be difficult for people who are lonely, but becoming a member of a group with a common purpose can help. People who are engaged in service to others, such as volunteering, tend to be happier. Volunteers

are satisfied with enriching their social network in the service of others. Volunteering helps to reduce loneliness in two ways. First, someone who is lonely might benefit from helping others. Also, through a voluntary program they will receive support and help to build their own social network.

Attaining the life that a person wants is simple. However, most people settle for less than their best because they fail to start the day off right. If a person starts the day with a positive mindset, that person is more likely to have a positive day. Moreover, how a person approaches the day impacts everything else in that person's life. Beginning a day in a good mood leads to working happily and often makes a person more productive in the office. This increased productivity unsurprisingly results in better work rewards, such as promotions or raises. Consequently, if people want to live the life of their dreams, they need to realize that how they start their day not only impacts that day, but every aspect of their

lives.

④ 규칙적인 생활 습관이 목표 달성에 도움이 된다.

⑤ 원만한 대인 관계를 위해 감정 조절이 중요하다.
