I doubt anyone can honestly say, "No", to that question because we’ve all been there, but why not laugh instead? How happy you are in life has less to do with how you act than it does how you react (and your reaction is always a choice, so keep it positive).

　　你曾在失望至极的那一天很想哭作一团吧?我相信大家都会诚实地回答这个问题“是”，因为我们都有过这样的遭遇，可是为何不以笑来取而代之呢?在生活中你有多快乐与你的行为关系不大，却与你的反应有很大关系(而且你的反应始终是个选择，所以可以选择保持积极的态度)。

Keep the events of every day in perspective by asking yourself the question, "Is this really a big deal in the grand scheme of things?" If the source of stress isn’t something you’ll remember next week/month/year, lighten up. Search for the humor or irony in the situation and laugh it off. Smile (because you deserve to be happy)!

　　生活中的所有不顺心的事——情侣分手、心情不好、遭遇车祸、家庭问题、情感问题，这些我们生活中总要处理的不幸遭遇。坚持每天问自己

　　对这个问题的态度和看法：“真的就是一件非常了不得的大事吗?” 如果这份压力在下周、下个月、明年你就不记得了，那就让自己轻松起来。以幽默或讽刺的方式一笑了之。笑，你值得拥有!
