Happiness is a Journey
幸福就是一段旅程

We always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, than another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. we will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.
我们总觉得我们结婚后的生活会更好，或者有了宝宝后会更好，或者其他什么什么之后就好了。孩子年小，不懂事，让我们感到疲惫沮丧。心想也许他们长大懂事了，就好了吧。当孩子成为少年时，我们又想等他们过了这个叛逆的阶段我们就会幸福了。

We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together. when we get a nice car, and are able to go on a nice vacation when we retire. The truth is, there's no better time than right now. If not now, when? our life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.
我们总告诉自己要是我们的配偶要是时刻和我们在一起，那我们的生活就完美了。当我们买了辆新车后就可以度假了，要是退休了，就更好了。但事实是，没有比现在更好的时候了。如果不是现在，那还会是什么时候呢？我们的生活总是充满了挑战。我们最好是接受这一切，并用尽方法把持快乐的心情。

One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza. He said."for a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin-real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, someting to be gotten through firest, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment that you have. And remember that time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school; until you get married, until you get divorced; until you have kids; until you retire; until you get a new car or home; until spring; until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy….
我很喜欢Alfred Souza的一句话。这句话是这样的：“真正的生活对于我好像总要再等上一段时间就可以开始了。但总是有什么东西妨碍着这一时刻的到来，要想得到什么东西总要先满足一些条件才行，比如还有些事情还没有做完，时间不合适，还要一些债务要清还。做完这些生活才会真正的开始。后来我明白了，这些麻烦本身就是我生活的一部分”他的观点帮助我看清了本没有通往幸福的路。幸福就在路上。珍惜你拥有的当下每一刻吧。请记住时间是不会等候任何人的。所以请不要在等到你毕业了，等到又回学校了，结婚了，离婚了；有孩子了，退休了，买新车和新房子了，等到春天到了，甚至等待下辈子的时候，当你不再等待的时候，你会发现没有比当下更幸福的时刻了…..,

Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So, work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt, And dance like no one's watching.
幸福是一段旅程，而不是目标。所以，
投入的工作吧，而不要考虑金钱；
尽情的去爱吧，就好像你从未被伤害；
纵情的舞蹈吧，不要在意别人的注视。
