　　If your life feels like it is lacking the power that you want and the motivation that you need, sometimes all you have to do is shift your point of view. 　　如果你觉得心有余力不足，觉得缺乏前进的动力，有时候你只需要改变思维的角度。
　　By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things, you are more likely to have the incentive to follo

Everyone has got two personalities-the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behavior, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you.
