小魚寄語：有這樣一個故事，一對即將離婚的夫妻，離婚的原因是夫妻雙方對對方的期望值都太高了，丈夫認為妻子應該做到什麼，妻子認為丈夫應該做到什麼。。。當他們決定要離婚的幾個月，他們降低了對彼此的期望值，同時他們發現子女都即將成年，其實要做的事情並不多，這幾個月的相處比以前快樂多了，於是打消了離婚的念頭。
一句話瑜伽，第306期Erica:我認為快樂不取決於事情進展如何的好，而在於你對事情的期望值。Happiness depends not on how well things are going but whether things are going better or worse than expected.
很多人認為他們願意一直快樂，這可能不是個好主意。Many people think that they would like to be happy all the time,and that's probably not a great idea.
這不是一個好主意，因為人不可能一直快樂。It's not agreat idea, because it's impossible to be happy all the time.
在很大程度上，當我們對生活中發生的一切做出反應和反思時，我們的個人快樂商數會上下浮動。For the most part,our individua1 happiness quotients go up and down as we react to and reflect upon whatever is going on in our lives.
然後，我們回到了某種快樂基線水平。快樂的人會擁抱生活的整體——好與壞，快樂與悲傷。Then we return to some kind of base line happiness level.Happier people embrace the wholeness of life - the good and the bad, the happy and the sad.
做一個有意識地決定，你可以去發現並擁抱快樂。Make a conscious decision to find and embrace happiness where you can.
幸福的秘訣是停止對別人和自己不合理的期望。The secret to happiness is to stop being unreasonable about what we can expect of other people and of ourselves.
