對於來到你身邊的每件好事培養感恩的習慣，並持續的感謝。因為所有的事皆促成你的進展，你的感恩應包含所有的事。“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.”

“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson, Poet
