1. YOU MUST ACCEPT IMPERFECTION AND FLAWS
1.你必须接受不完美和瑕疵
Many people believe that if they just collect a house, a spouse, a car, and 2.5 children, everything will be "perfect". Life has a checklist. Problems don't go away; they change and evolve.
很多人相信，如果他们买了房子，找到了伴侣，有一辆车，生了几个孩子，一切事情就会变得“完美”。生活有一个任务清单。问题不会消失；他们会改变，会进化。
And the quicker we accept that the point of life is progress, and not perfection, the sooner we can all order a pizza and go home. Perfection is an idealization. It's something that is approached but never reached. Whatever your conception of "perfect" is in your pretty little head, it is in itself, an imperfect concept. There is no perfect. There is only what you wish in your head.
我们越快得接受生活的重点不在于完美，而在于进步，我们就能早点轻松地生活。完美是一个理想化的概念。这是我们可以不断接近，但永远不会达成的事物。无论你脑袋里对于“完美”的概念是什么，它只存在于你的脑袋里，一个不完美的概念。世界上不存在完美。只有你脑海里对自己的期望。
We don't get to decide what perfection is. We don't know. All we can know is what is better or worse than what is now. And even then we're often wrong. When we let go of our concept of what is perfect and what "should" be, we relieve ourselves of the stress and frustration of living up to some arbitrary standard.
我们没办法决定什么是完美。因为我们不知道。我们只知道什么是比现在更好的或者更坏的。即使如此，我们的想法也经常是错误的。当我们放下了我们对于“完美”的定义和生活“应该”怎么过的想法，我们就把自己从要以一个主观标准来生活的压力和挫败中解放出来。这个标准甚至不来源于我们自己！
