雙語美文：我的幸福,我做主
You are the only one who can make you happy. We have all heard that so many times in our lives.
你是唯一一個(gè)可以讓自己幸福的人。我們的生活中常常聽到人們這么說。
There are times it is a pretty tough pill to swallow. In reality, the people that surround you have a huge impact on your current mood. When your children are grumpy in the morning, you find a nice pile the dog left you over night, you hit the road and the traffic wont allow you your normal speed, then when you get to work and your co-worker called in sick... these are all things that might contribute to your overall Happiness of the day.
那些時(shí)間就像在吞咽一顆苦澀的藥片讓人無奈。事實(shí)上，你周圍的人會(huì)對你的心情有相當(dāng)大的影響。例如，早晨你的孩子很不聽話，一夜過后你的狗給你留下一堆特別的東西，你開車的路上交通阻塞，當(dāng)你開始工作時(shí)你的同事打電話說他身體不適等等，這些事情都將會(huì)影響你一整天的幸福感覺。
However, moods and temporary emotions are not the same as happiness. Happiness exists when you look at the overall picture of your life and you smile, that is happiness. You know those times when you cant wait for your children to go to bed, then later you check on the kids and you almost cry because they look exactly like angels... YOUR ANGELS, sleeping so sweetly and soundly. You can hardly remember a time of irritation with them. That is Happiness.
然而，心情和暫時(shí)的情感都是不能和幸福相提并論的。當(dāng)你回顧自己的生活的方方面面，仍面帶微笑，那就是幸福。是的，這才是幸福。你知道的，你沒能等到你孩子去睡覺，但是當(dāng)去檢查他們睡得是否安好時(shí)，你幾乎能流淚，因?yàn)樗麄兯檬侨绱说南闾穑拖袷翘焓鼓愕奶焓埂Ｄ闼坪醪挥浀盟麄冊悄闵鷼饬耍@才是幸福。
As life progresses and changes, we realize that who we are, (what makes us, us)... that is what we are responsible for. We know that immediate gratification or irritation only pacifies or deteriorates our emotional stimuli short term. Our global view of how we see ourselves determines our state of mind. Our state of mind determines our Happiness.
隨著生活的變化和提高，我們開始認(rèn)識到我們是誰，(是什么造就了現(xiàn)在的我們)我們的責(zé)任是什么。我們知道一時(shí)的滿足和煩惱只是使我們使情緒得到短暫的安慰或惡化。我們對自己的整體看法才會(huì)決定我們精神狀態(tài)，而我們的精神狀態(tài)又決定我們的幸福。
