字典裡幸福的定義是“幸運”或“好運”，但我認為幸福更好的定義是“感受快樂的能力”，越知足越常樂。但是，愛與被愛、友人相伴、簡單的生活，甚至健康的體魄，這些細碎的快樂很容易被我們忽視。
The dictionary defines happy as "luck" or "fortunate", but I think a better definition of happiness is "the capacity for enjoyment." The more we can enjoy what we have,the happier we are. It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved,the company of friends,the freedom to live where we please,and even good health.
另一方面，面對太多選擇，在各個方面都想成功，讓我們把幸福變成“必須得到”的一種東西。我們自私地以為我們有“權”得到它，這也是我們痛苦的根源。所以我們去追求幸福，並將它同財富和成功聯繫起來，而沒有意識到擁有它的人並不一定幸福。
We,on the other hand , with so many choice and such pressure to succeed in every area,have turned happiness into one more thing we "gotta have". We're so self-conscious about our "right" to it that it's making us miserable. So we chase it and equate it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren't necessarily happier.
對我們來說，儘管每個人對幸福的理解不同，但是幸福的含義是從來不變的。幸福不是發生在我們周圍的事——而是我們如何去看待周圍的事。秘訣就在於，我們以積極的心態面對逆境，變壓力為動力。幸福並不是祈求我們所沒有的，而是享受我們所擁有的。
While happiness may be more complex for us, the solution is the same as ever,Happiness isn't about what happens to us----it's about how we perceive what happens to us. It's the knack of finding a positive for every nagative, and viewing a setback as a challenge. It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess
