发掘你的创造力
Explore Your Creative Side
任何形式的创造力都有助于我们个人和专业的成长，以不同的方式看待问题和解决方案，并利用我们大脑中以前未开发的其他部分。我们可能需要通过学习一项新技能或花时间在能带来快乐的事情上来挖掘和磨练我们的个人创造力。
学习一门新语言：上课或使用语言培训软件。
尝试美食烹饪：参加一个正式的课程、买一本新的烹饪书、去一个新的菜市场，做一些新的菜式。
写点什么：一本书，短篇小说，诗歌，任何东西。
探索外部世界：尝试园艺、观鸟或风景摄影。
欣赏音乐：演奏一种乐器，学习一种新乐器，或者看演出。
创造一些有形的东西：绘画，雕刻，制作陶器，制作珠宝，或者设计你的衣服。
Creativity in any form helps us to grow personally and professionally, to view problems and solutions in different ways, and to utilize other parts of our mind that may have been previously untapped. We may need to unearth and hone our inpidual creativity by learning a new skill or spending time on something that brings us joy.
Learn a new language: Take a class or use language training software.
Try gourmet cooking: Enrol in a formal class, buy a new cookbook, go to a new market and cook some new dishes.
Write something: A book, short stories, poetry, anything.
Explore the outside world: Try gardening, bird watching, or landscape photography.
Enjoy music: Play an instrument, learn a new one, or go to concerts.
Create something tangible: Paint, sculpt, make pottery, make jewelry, or design your own clothes.

养护你的身心
Nurture Your Mind and Body
养护身心让你现在和将来能够给予更多 – 更多的能量、知识、共情、想法、力量，以及身体和精神上的耐力。安排锻炼和自理时间，尤其在很忙的时候，这样你就能以最佳状态来应对挑战。
Nurturing both your mind and body allows you to have more to give now and in the future—more energy, knowledge, compassion, ideas, strength, and physical and mental endurance. Schedule exercise and self-care time especially when you’re busy, so that you will be at your best state to tackle challenges.
你能做的最好的投资，就是对自己的投资。学得越多，赚得越多。
