原文: How To Reduce Stress — Live For 100 Years

Did you know stress kills you? It releases a chemical which is associated with heart disease, arthritis, diabetes and some cancers.

Here's how to take a chill pill and live longer...

How heavy is a can of coke?

100 grams? 500 grams? The weight doesn't matter — what matters is how long you try to hold the can.

• If you hold it for a minute, it's not a problem.
  
  
• If you hold it for an hour, you'll have an ache in your arm.
  
  
• If you hold it for a whole day, you'll need an ambulance.
  
  

In each case, the can of coke weighs the same, but the longer you hold it, the heavier it becomes.

And that's how stress management works - if you carry your burdens all the time, sooner or later they'll become even heavier, and you won't be able to carry on!

Like the can of coke, you've got to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When you're refreshed, you can carry on with the burden.

So, my friend, whatever you're tensed about right now, just lay it down for a moment and read on...

Tips to Live Longer

• We can learn a lot from crayons — some are sharp, some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.
  
  
• Always keep your words sweet and soft, just in case you have to eat 'em.
  
  
• Always read stuff that makes you look good, incase you die in the middle of it.
  
  
• If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
  
  
• Drive carefully — it's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.
  
  
• Nobody cares if you can't dance — so just get up and dance.
  
  
• You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
  
  
• If everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane!
  
  
• Some mistakes are way too much fun to only make once. Drugs for instance.

译文: 怎样舒缓压力——活到100岁

你知道吗？压力会杀死你！它会导致心脏病，关节炎，糖尿病和癌症。

这里有几点建议，教你如何保持冷静才能够长寿。。。

－越冷静，就越长寿。

 

一罐可乐有多重？

100克？500克？问题不在于一罐可乐重量是多少，而在于你能把这罐可乐拿多久。

如果你能拿几分钟，那不是问题。
如果你能拿1个小时，你的胳膊可能会感觉有点酸痛。
如果你拿了一整天，那你就需要叫一辆救护车了。
在每个例子中，可乐的重量是相同的，但是你拿的越久，就越觉得沉。
那么压力是怎样的一个形成过程呢？如果你累积压力，不多久，压力就会让你感觉越来越压抑，让你无法承受。
就好像拿一罐可乐，你把它放下，休息一会儿，然后再拿起它。当你重新恢复精力，你就会感觉很轻松。
所以， 朋友，不管你现在是否精神紧绷，把紧张抛到脑后吧，休息一会儿，然后再继续工作。。。

长寿的要点

我们可以从蜡笔中学到很多东西――它们有的尖的，有的钝的。还有不可思议的名字，并有着不同的颜色，但是它们都放在同一个盒子里。

保持话语的甜美温柔，不要让别人对你敬而远之。

用餐时应保持优雅的姿态，不要狼吞虎咽，以免被食物噎住。

如果你不够和蔼可亲，但至少要端庄的仪态。

小心驾驶――如果发生意外，不仅车子要维修，你也要被送去医院治疗。

如果不跳舞就没有人关注你――那就站起来用舞姿吸引别人的注意吧。

在这个世界里，你可能只是某个人，但对某人你可能是全世界。

在逆境中可以磨练人生。

不要重复犯同样的错误，在错误中得到快乐，在错误中获得经验。
