Happiness is Your Own Choice

Happiness is Your Own Choice Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier —a relative, someone we know a lot, or someone we hardly know. As a result, what we do remember is anything that makes the others happy, anything that makes ourselves unhappy, totally forgetting that there is something happy in our own life. So the best way to destory happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest flaw. It is the smallest flaw that would make us complain. And it is the complain that leads to us becoming unhappy. If one chooses to be happy, he will be blessed; if he chooses to be unhappy, he will be cursed. Happiness is just what you think will make you happy. 【参考译文】 我们大多数人都喜欢跟我们的亲戚、熟识的朋友或不怎么了解的人进行比较，总认为他们比我们快乐。结果呢，我们确确实实记住了令他人快乐的事儿，扎扎实实记住了令自己不快乐的事儿，完完全全忘记了我们自己生活中也有快乐的一面。 所以，毁灭快乐的最好方法是盯着，并把注意力集中在最微不足道的缺点上。引起我们抱怨的，就是这些微不足道的缺点；而导致我们不快乐的，正是这些抱怨。 如果你选择快乐，你将得到祝福；如果你选择痛苦，你就会受到诅咒。那么，如果你选择快乐，你就快乐。
