The fastest way to break this illusion is to drop your act in front of others. Begin by striking the word “entertain” from your vocabulary. When you invite friends to your home， don't think that you have to be the emcee for the evening. Act helpless on occasion so that people can come to your rescue and shine in front of you.
Don’t ever assume that you have to be helpful in order to be useful to others. Your skills aren’t always needed. Why is it so hard for us to accept that sometimes just showing up is enough to brighten everyone’s mood？
Rejoice in the unexpected perfect moments happen at the most imperfect times.
On a rainy afternoon， while waiting for the locksmith you called to retrieve the ignition key you accidentally locked inside your car， you have a bowl of soothing homemade chicken soup at the counter of a quaint coffee shop.
Impatiently rummaging through papers while in search of the receipt for your defecitive answering machine， you find a picture of yourself with your best friend at age 10.
As you put down the receiver after a stressful conversation with your sister about family matters， you notice how pretty the garden looks in winter.
Don’t hold your breath any longer： Perfect moments happen every day.
盡管我們都認同“人無完人”這個說法，但每個人都相信自己是個例外。我們總認為自己應該很完美（同樣我們總認為自己應該富有和出名）。
但是，從我們的錯誤中吸取教訓，接受我們的平凡——和普通人一樣——是一門藝術。所以，你下次再摔壞了一個盤子或丟了鑰匙，何不泰然處之呢？想想，在你的生活中，也許有一些奧妙正隱藏在這些錯誤的背後。
1.無錢無名的藝術
為了讓人覺得自己與眾不同，現在的名人盡力躲避人群的視線，變成普通人。（承認吧：難道你不想知道沙朗？斯通在GAP店購物嗎？）但是，不論他們在銀行裏有多少存款，或者，當他們出現在俱樂部和慈善舞會上，不論會引起多大的**，你我在平常生活中所享受到的點滴安心的樂趣，名人們永遠都享受不到。你永遠不可能看見他們從圖書館借書、泡咖啡館，或者在商業街閑逛。
