14.Things You Should Insist on No Matter What People SayLife can get pretty crazy at times.(36)GHappiness is dependent upon ourselves,and there are some things in life you should always insist on doing,no matter what others have to say about it.Here is a list of some things you should always do.
1.Learn from your mistakes
No matter what people say,you will make mistakes in your life.Life is a learning process in itself.Some people will make you feel bad about your mistakes,or insult(侮辱) you for making them.(37)EAccept your mistakes fully and really figure out what went wrong.
2.Hug change and creativity
A popular proverb is,"You cannot solve a problem in the same state of consciences that created it."(38)BChange and creativity are vital in today's world.Things are always changing,so why should we be any different?
3.Appreciate what you have
(39)DThis can take away from our happiness.Sometimes you just need to sit back and be happy about where your life is right now,and what you have to show for it.Sure people might tell you it's not good enough,but don't listen to them.It is good enough,and it gives you a sense of pride when you can enjoy the things you already have in life.
4.Listen to your heart
Sometimes you just need to follow your instincts(直覺) and do what your heart tells you.There are some situations,like relationships,that rely more on your heart than on your head.People will surely tell you differently,but you should always insist on listening to what you want and feel.Again,you are the one who lives with your choices,and you are the one that has to live with the"what ifs."(40)A
A.Sometimes you just have to follow your heart.
B.Not everything can be solved in a traditional way.
C.However,being dedicated to something will pay off.
D.We can forget to take a step back and enjoy what we have in life.
E.However,don't let that stand in your way from learning from them.
F.To some people your dreams might sound far-fetched,unobtainable,or downright silly.
G.Sometimes we forget how important it is to actually listen to ourselves instead of others.
