语句摘录

平时发现比较好的语句,自己喜欢把它摘下来。下面贴出几条:

一、幸福的定义

Something to do, something to love, something to hope for


“The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love and something to hope for.” I worte this sentence in my notebook at the first sight of it in a movie. Most of us will ask ourselves why we are not happy, it seems that no one is happy especially in China. The poor is not happy, the rich is not happy as well as the middle class is not happy. Except for the political factors and the society environment, the essential reason may be we don’t grasp the grand essentials of happiness. From my own experience, I was not happy becasue of poor when I was a countryside boy, I was not happy because I did not get a PHD in USA, I was not happy because I did not publish a journal paper when I needed it, I was not happy because I live in small department, I was not happy because I was far away from my family… Yes, all of the matters will upset me, they will bother me. But now, I don’t think they should be the hurdles for my happiness. I must remember that I have a good job, I have a dream, I should be happy. I have a graceful wife and a cute kid to love, I should be happy. I have a common hope with my wife, I should be happy.


下面这个,我每次看都被感动到了
