Happiness is a journey 在人生旅途中品味幸福/幸福是一种旅途
We always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, than another. Then we are frustrated that 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.
我们总是慰藉自己,结婚后,生孩子后生活会好过些。然而有了孩子后,孩子的顽皮捣蛋惹得我们很累,也许他们长大些后,我们会更满足。而后,孩子进入青少年时期,我们又要忙着引导他们如何做人处事,那时,我们觉得孩子们过了那个年龄段,我们自然就会幸福。
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.
我们总是告诉自己生活,夫妻生活融洽劲往一处使时,生活就是完美的。我们有了一辆好车就能在退休后去开心的度假了,实际上,再也没有比现在更好的时机了。如果不是现在,又会是何时呢?生活中总是充满竞争,我们最好接受这个事实,下决心无论怎样都要开心些。
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, someting 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.
我最赞同尔弗雷德.苏泽说过的一段话,他说:“很长时间来,我的生活好像要开始一场真的生活了,但是过程之中总会出现麻烦,有些一次就搞定了,有些没完没了,又费时又费钱,不管怎么样,生活就这么开始了,最后我才恍然大悟,这些生活琐事就是我的生活。”这种对生活的理解使我懂得了寻找幸福并没有捷径,幸福本身就是捷径。因此,珍惜你所拥有的点点滴滴吧。
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….
记住,时不待人。莫等你完成学业,又重返校园之时;莫等你结婚又离婚,生子之时;莫等你退休之时;莫等你开了一辆新车成了一个新家之时;莫等春夏秋冬再次轮回之时;莫等重获新生之时,才意识到生活本来是及时行乐的。
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.
幸福永远在旅途中,没有终点站。那么,你就要不问薪水的去工作,敞开心扉的去爱,旁若无人的去跳舞。
