人生哲理美文01:Happiness is a Journey幸福是一段旅程
幸福是一段旅程
We always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, than another. Then we are frustratedthat the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with, we will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.
我們總是說服自己，等我們結(jié)婚生子后，生活會(huì)更美好。等有了孩子，我們又因?yàn)樗麄儾粔蚨露鞌。氲人麄兇笮r(shí)，我們就會(huì)開心了?？傻人麄冞M(jìn)入青少年時(shí)期，我們還是同樣地苦惱，于是又相信等他們過了這個(gè)年齡段，幸福就會(huì)到來。
We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together. When we get a nice car, and are able to go on a nice vocation when we retire. The truth is, there's no better time than right now. If not now, when? Our life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to
be happy anyway.
我們總是告訴自己，當(dāng)我們的另一半有條理地生活時(shí)，當(dāng)我們擁有更好的車時(shí)，能在退休后享受一次美妙的假期，我們的生活一定會(huì)完美的。而事實(shí)的真相是，沒有任何時(shí)刻比現(xiàn)在更寶貴。倘若不是現(xiàn)在，又會(huì)是何時(shí)?我們的生活每時(shí)每刻都會(huì)有挑戰(zhàn)。最好是讓自己接受這一事實(shí)，無論如何使自己保持快樂的心境。
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza.He said, "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment that you have.
我很欣賞艾爾弗雷德·蘇澤的一段名言。他說:“長期以來，我都覺得生活，真正的生活似乎即將開始?？墒强倳?huì)遇到某種障礙，如得先完成一些事情。沒做完的工作，要奉獻(xiàn)的時(shí)間，該付的債，等等。之后生活才會(huì)開始。最后我醒悟過來了，這些障礙本身就是我的生活。”這一觀點(diǎn)讓我意識(shí)到?jīng)]有什么通往幸福的道路。幸福本身就是路。所以，珍惜你擁有的每一刻。
And remember that time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school; until you get married, until you get divorced; until you have kids; until you retire; until you get a new car or home; until spring; until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy...
而且記住時(shí)不我待，不要再作所謂的等待—等你上完學(xué)，等你再回到學(xué)校;等你結(jié)婚或離婚;等你有了孩子或孩子長大離開家;等你開始工作或等你退休;等你有了新車或新房;等春天來臨;等你有幸再來世上走一遭才明白此時(shí)此刻最應(yīng)該快樂……
Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So, work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt,and dance like no one's watching.
尋找幸福的過程本身就是幸福，這條路上沒有終點(diǎn)站。那么，你就要像不愁薪水那般去工作;敞開心扉那般去歡愛;旁若無人那般去歌舞。
