And it applies as we will see later also, to the notion of stress- and how important that can be in cultivating resilience and ultimately, happiness.
而且同样适用于我们之后会讲到的压力的概念，以及它对于培养耐性以及最终获得幸福的重要性
Too easy is not necessarily good. Finally, we see this also in oppressive regimes versus democracies.
过于轻松不一定是件好事，最后我们看到压迫政权和民主之间也是这样
One of the main reasons why people are happier under democracies- and remember, that is one of few external circumstances that can predict happiness- one of the reasons is because under democracies, people have choice.
人们之所以在民主制度下更幸福的重要原因之一记住，这是少数可以预测幸福的外部条件之一。原因之一就在于，民主制度下人们有选择的权利

As opposed to under dictatorships, very often they are told "OK, you need to go into accounting. You need to go into engineering. And you need to go into athletics." And so on.
而在独裁政治下通常人们会被告知“好，你去做会计、你去做工程、你去做运动员……”诸如此类
And when you have a choice, that is a good predictor of happiness.
如果你有选择，那就是快乐的预示
Let's shift gear a little bit. I'm going to talk about something very much related to self-concordance, but from a different angle.
让我们稍微换一下话题，我要讲一些与自我和谐非常相关的东西，但是是从不同的角度来讲的
I'm going to talk about values in action, or in short, the VIA. Values in action, the VIA, is arguably the most ambitious, and certainly one of the most important projects within positive psychology.
我要讲讲行为价值观，缩写为VIA。行为价值观 VIA可以说是积极心理学中最有前景，也是最重要的课题之一
