雙語美文:淺淡幸福 Talking about happiness

We should not hesitate too much during the first half of our lives, while we should not regret at what we’ve done during the other half. We should seize every opportunity to find a way out in our lives, for it goes off swiftly. We should say something urgent slowly, something serious clearly, something small humorously and something unsure cautiously. We should never say something that did not happen, something that you cannot do, something that does harm to others, and something that is disgusting. We should tell others our happiness in specific occasions and should not tell anyone our unhappiness. Do not easily say something about others. We should follow our own heart and interest, and fulfill what we should do instead of merely paying lip service and looking forward to the future.
人的上半生：要不猶豫；人的下半生：要不後悔；活在當下，把握每次的機會，因爲機會稍縱即逝，爲自己的生命找到出路！急事，慢慢的說；大事，清楚的說；小事，幽默的說；沒把握的事，謹慎的說；沒發生的事，不要胡說；做不到的事，別亂說；傷害人的事，不能說；討厭的事，對事不對人的說；開心的事，看埸合說；傷心的事，不要見人就說；別人的事，小心的說；自己的事，聽聽自己的心怎麼說；現在的事，做了再說；未來的事，未來再說。

Everyone is craving for a happy life, but owning wealth does not necessarily mean owning happiness. To truly reach happiness, we need to know how to get on with others. So we need to understand the core of happiness and achieve what we desire.
每一個人都渴望幸福的人生,但是不一定擁有財富的人就真正擁有幸福,要想幸福就要懂得人與人如何相處,所以我們要了解幸福,認識幸福,從而得到一生美滿的幸福.

Without happiness, one will feel terribly miserable, for he always insists that he has done the right thing all the time and that others often do wrong to him. He attributes every mistake to others or the environment instead of reflecting on himself, which renders him farther and farther away from happiness. A celebrity once said, “Nobody intends to make mistake. One makes mistake because of his igorance.” Therefore, if someone makes mistake, we need to care about him, forgive him and enlighten him by setting a good example for him instead of losing temper, hatred to him. Othewise, we are also ingorant like him, for we also make a stupid mistake that leads us farther from happiness.
沒有幸福的人他很痛苦,人之所以痛苦,就是認爲自己總是對的,別人總是對不起我,將一切錯誤都歸罪於別人和外境,念念都覺得自己沒有錯,而不反省自己也有滿身的過失.這就是使自己遠離了幸福.正如勞格拉底說:"沒有人想犯下錯誤,之所以會犯下錯誤,乃是他的無知.'故而如果有人犯下錯誤,我要會去關懷他,寬恕他,以及以身做則地去感化他,而不是去發怒.生氣.討厭和打擊他.否則,我們就與他一樣,同樣是無知的人,因爲我們也犯下了無知的錯誤遠離了幸福的人生.

We need to know and understand happiness before we finally get it. A smart man must know to do something good even though it may be small, and not to do something wicked even though it may be tiny in the course of socializing. As long as we keep a kind heart and do everything morally and legally, we can live a placid life. But if we keep an evil heart and do whatever we want, we are indeed digging a tomb for ourselves. A smart man knows to learn a lesson from his falls for he knows that every setback is a precious experience leading to happiness in the future. He will not waste his time in critizing others. Instead, he tends to spend more time seeking his own happiness. He knows to keep a heart of conscience and not to spread others’ mistakes. He also knows to think before he leaps so that he will not feel regretful afterwards. Moreover, he knows to tolerate others, so he can naturally lead a happy life.
我們要認識幸福,瞭解幸福,才能夠得到幸福的人生,聰明的人他必定懂得無論,處事,待人,接物都要做到,"勿以善小而不爲,勿以惡小而爲之'.人心正則人人從善,事事循理,自能安以相處,人心邪,則次情縱慾,任意妄行自必貽患無窮的道理.他知道跌倒的時候,不要白白地爬起來,任何一種磨練都是通向幸福的寶貴經驗.他不會胡亂耗時間去批評別人,而是多花時間改善自己營造幸福.他懂得不會將自己的心田昧,更不會把他人的過失揚.他明白事不三思終會後悔,能夠忍讓自然幸福而無憂.

In order to possess a happy life, we need to know more about others, about the society, about our culture and history. We should be patriotic, abide by the law and realize our own responsibility, then we are doomed to have a happy life.
擁有幸福人生需要多瞭解他人,社會,文化,歷史從而愛國守法,幹好自己的本職工作，則必定自己會擁有幸福人生！
