「能改變的，就努力去改；不能改變的，就放過自己。」 “Change what you can. Let go of what you can’t.”


我們好像都很容易抱怨。
早上出門看到電梯剛走了，會覺得「為什麼我這麼倒霉？」
到地鐵站看到車尾剛走，也會覺得「今天一定很不順。」

但有時我會想——
如果我們不這樣想，人生會不會輕鬆一點？

我記得曾經看過一本書，裡面有一句話徹底改變了我對生活的看法。
它說：「你有沒有發現，很多人在等電梯時會一直狂按按鈕？」
「但你明知道，怎麼按都不會讓電梯快一點來。」

這句話很簡單，卻一針見血。
我們焦躁、煩惱，是因為我們想控制一件根本不能控制的事。
與其站在那裡生悶氣，不如用等電梯的幾十秒，聽首歌、看兩頁書、呼吸一下。

真正能改變世界的，是你看待事情的方式。
我們能努力的，就去努力。
不能改變的，也該學會放下。

有時，最有力量的選擇，不是抓緊，而是鬆手。


We complain a lot.
The elevator just left? Bad luck.
Missed the train by two seconds? “Why is my day like this?”

But I wonder—
What if we simply didn’t think that way?

I once read a book that shifted how I look at life.
It asked,
“Have you ever noticed how people keep pressing the elevator button, again and again?”

That stayed with me.

So much of our stress comes from trying to control the uncontrollable.
Instead of getting frustrated, why not use that waiting time—
To breathe, to listen to music, to read, or just be still.

Perspective changes everything.
If you can change something, give it your best.
If you can’t, give it your peace.

Sometimes, the strongest thing you can do is to let go
