　　幸福就是一種態度

The 92-year-old,petite,well-poised and proud lady,who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock,with her hair fashionably coifed and makeup perfectly applied,even though she was legally blind,moved to a nursing home today.

這位92歲高齡、個子小巧、自信而又驕傲的老太太，每天早晨8點就穿戴整齊了。她的頭髮時髦的護在帽子裏，妝也化得恰倒好處，即使她今天合情合理地失明、要搬進一家養老院也不例外。

Her husband of 70 years recently passed away,making the move necessary.

一同走過70個歲月的丈夫新近去世，搬到養老院是必然之舉。

After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home,she smiled sweetly when told her room was she maneuvered her walker to elevator I provided a visual description of her tiny room.

在養老院的走廊上等了半天之後，她被告之房間已準備就緒，她親切地笑了。當她推起助步車進入電梯時，我對她的小房間進行了一番視覺描述。幸福就是一種態度

“I love it,”she started with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.

“我真喜歡這房間，”她熱情洋溢的說，好像一個8歲的孩子剛剛得到了一隻小狗一樣。

“s, you haven't seen the room…just wait.”

“瓊斯夫人，你還沒有看到你的房間呢……還是不慌下結論。”

“That doesn't have anything to do with it,”she replied.“Happiness is something you decide on ahead of her I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged…it's how I arrange my mind.I already decided to love it,It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up.I have a choice;I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work or get out of bed be thankful for the ones that day is a gift,and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away…just for this time in my life.”

“那和我喜不喜歡這房間沒關係，”她回答說。“幸福是你事先就決定了的。我喜不喜歡房子並不取決於傢俱怎麼擺放……而是取決於我怎麼想。我已決定要喜歡它……就像每天早晨一睜開眼所作的某個決定一樣。我可以做出選擇：躺在牀上，抱怨身體不便帶來的困難可以打發一天;或者翻身起牀感激某些部位還能活動自如，也可以度過一天。每一天都是一件禮物，只要睜開眼，我就會全神貫注於嶄新的一天和收藏多年的幸福記憶……這一切僅爲了今生此刻.”

　　成長的孤獨

We're like the cream. When the cream rises to the top, it separates itself from the milk. Perhaps that is what the New Age Movement is really all about. We find ourselves lonely at the top. Yes, it is.

我們就像奶油。當奶油浮到頂部的時候，它會和牛奶分離。也許這種現象正像是新世紀運動的寫照。我們發現自己飛得越高，就會越感孤獨。是的，這就是現實。

It is no different with political enlightenment, spiritual enlightenment, or even becoming enlightened about relating to each other. The more mentally healthy you become, the more spiritual, the more balanced, the wealthier, the more global y ou become… the more alone you may feel.

不論是政治或精神修養的造詣有多深，或者甚至是與他人之間有一種默契的關係，就孤獨這一點而言，是沒有區別的。你越是擁有健康有理智，精神修養的造詣越深，生活越平衡，越富有，或你的名氣 傳播得越廣，你也會感覺越孤獨。

Often, we find ourselves unable to find those other rare individuals who are choosing the same path as ours. T he path of sloppy and lazy is full of other people to meet and talk to. The path of whiners is full. The path of being safe, generic, and boring is so crowded you almost cannot even move forward. Isn't that why you left that path? You had a need to move forward, a need for some elbowroom, a need to spread your arms wide, a need to be seen as special, unique, different. The masses may admire you, but they ar e not going to be able to really relate to you. You will be alone much of the time.

經常，我們很難找到那些選擇我們和我們同路的人們。那條潮溼，慵懶的道路擠滿了可以相遇並聊天的人。那條滿是牢騷者的道路上也擁擠不堪。那條所謂安全，普通以及枯燥的道路是如此擁擠以至於你無法向前挪步。難道這不正是你離開那條道路的原因嗎?你需要向前挪步，需要活動的空間，需要展開你的雙臂，需要被認知爲特別，有個性，與衆不同。萬千大衆仰慕你，但他們卻不可能真正地融入你。大部分的時間裏，你將是孤獨的。

Do not be afraid of the loneliness of enlightenment. Do not force others to agree with you. Simply give your heart and know that you are growing and that they are free to grow or not. It is the nature of the game. We are all free to choose our paths.

不要害怕因造詣深而產生的孤獨感。不必要勉強別人贊識你。做你自己，堅定着你自己的成長，別人是否願意成長就由他們自己去決 定吧。這就是自然界的規則。我們都有選擇自己道路的自由。
