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.
尽管我们都认同“人无完人”这个说法，但每个人都相信自己是个例外。我们总认为自己应该很完美（同样我们总认为自己应该富有和出名）。
但是，从我们的错误中吸取教训，接受我们的平凡——和普通人一样——是一门艺术。所以，你下次再摔坏了一个盘子或丢了钥匙，何不泰然处之呢？想想，在你的生活中，也许有一些奥妙正隐藏在这些错误的背后。
1.无钱无名的艺术
为了让人觉得自己与众不同，现在的名人尽力躲避人群的视线，变成普通人。（承认吧：难道你不想知道沙朗？斯通在GAP店购物吗？）但是，不论他们在银行里有多少存款，或者，当他们出现在俱乐部和慈善舞会上，不论会引起多大的**，你我在平常生活中所享受到的点滴安心的乐趣，名人们永远都享受不到。你永远不可能看见他们从图书馆借书、泡咖啡馆，或者在商业街闲逛。
