THE KEYS TO A HAPPY LIFE BY POPE FRANCIS
1. Live and let live.
Everyone should be guided by this principle, he said, which has a similar
2. Generosity.
Be giving of yourself to others.' 'If you withdraw into yourself, you run the risk of becoming egocentric（利己主义者）. And stagnant water（死水） becomes putrid（腐败的）.'
3. 'Proceed calmly' in life.
The pope used an image from an Argentine novel by Ricardo Guiraldes, in which the protagonist（主角） -- gaucho Don Segundo Sombra - looks back on how he lived his life. 'He says that in his youth he was a stream full of rocks that he carried with him; as an adult, a rushing river; and in old age, he was still moving, but slowly, like a pool' of water, the pope said. He said he likes this latter image of a pool of water - to have 'the ability to move with kindness and humility, a calmness in life.'
4. Leisure.
'The pleasures of art, literature and playing together with children have been lost, he said. He suggests families must also turn off the TV when they sit down to eat - having it on during mealtime 'doesn't let you communicate' with each other.
5. Sundays.
These should be holidays. Workers should have Sundays off because 'Sunday is for family,' he said.
6. Young people.
Find innovative ways to create dignified jobs for young people. 'We need to be creative with young people. If they have no opportunities they will get into drugs' and be more vulnerable to suicide, he said.'It's not enough to give them food,' he said. 'Dignity is given to you when you can bring food home' from one's own labor.
7. Respect nature.
Environmental ruination 'is one of the biggest challenges we have,' he said. 'I think a question that we're not asking ourselves is: 'Isn't humanity committing suicide with this indiscriminate（任意的） and tyrannical use of nature?''
8. Positivity.
'Needing to talk badly
9. Respect others' beliefs.
'We can inspire others through witness so that one grows together in communicating. But the worst thing of all is religious proselytism（改变信仰）, which paralyzes: 'I am talking with you in order to persuade you,' No. Each person dialogues, starting with his and her own identity.'
10. Peace.
'We are living in a time of many wars,' he said, and 'the call for peace must be shouted. Peace sometimes gives the impression of being quiet, but it is never quiet, peace is always proactive' and dynamic.
