A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
幸福
Happiness
Sitting behind the bench at games is the hardest thing I've ever had to go through because basketball is really most of my happiness. So when I can't go out there and exert energy and have fun and things like that, it kind of puts everything else into perspective.
坐在板凳上看比赛是我经历过的最艰难的事情,因为篮球真的是我最大的快乐。所以当我不能走出去,不能发挥我的能量,不能玩得开心之类的时候,我就会把其他的事情都看得很清楚。
I see nothing wrong with the human trait to desire. In fact, I consider it integral to our success mechanism. Becoming attached to what we desire is what causes the trouble. If you must have it in order to be happy, then you are denying the happiness of the here and now.
我看不出人类的欲望有什么不对。事实上,我认为它是我们成功机制的组成部分。执着于我们所渴望的东西会带来麻烦。如果你必须拥有幸福,那么你就是在否认此时此地的幸福。
Seek happiness now within you. Don’t look anywhere else or for anyone to help bring that happiness to your life. Happiness comes as a reward of battles we win. Happiness will come from the will to be strong minded and the readiness to face the next challenge with a smile.
现在就在你的内心寻找快乐。不要去其他任何地方,也不要去寻找任何人来帮助你给你的生活带来快乐。幸福是我们赢得战斗的奖赏。幸福来自坚强的意志和微笑着面对下一个挑战的准备。
There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state to another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.
世界上没有幸福,也没有痛苦;只有一种状态与另一种状态的比较,仅此而已。感受过最深悲伤的人,最能体会到最大的幸福。我们必须体验过死亡的滋味,才能体会到生活的乐趣。
As long as I am given the opportunity to keep performing and keep exploring in whatever medium, I'll be happy. As long as I get to spend time with my family, I'll be happy. As long as I can write in some form, I'll be happy. It is the essential things like that I equate with happiness.
只要我有机会在任何媒介中继续表演和探索,我就会很开心。只要我有时间和家人在一起,我就会很开心。只要我能以某种形式写作,我就会很快乐。我把幸福和这些基本的东西等同起来。
If you asked somebody, 'what do you wish for in life?' they wouldn't say 'happiness.' I would have answered 'excitement, knowledge,' God knows - I mean, many, many different things, but certainly not 'happiness'. It seemed like a foreign concept to wish for something that specific and that singular.
如果你问某人,“你希望生活中有什么?”他们不会说“幸福”。我会回答“兴奋、知识”,上帝知道——我的意思是,很多很多不同的东西,但肯定不是“幸福”。这似乎是一个外国的概念,希望什么具体的和独特的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.
正像我们无权只享受财富而不创造财富一样,我们也无权只享受幸福而不创造幸福。
True happiness is... to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.
真正的幸福是……享受现在,而不是焦虑地依赖未来。
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
即使是幸福的生活也不能没有黑暗,如果没有悲伤来平衡,幸福这个词就失去了意义。耐心和平静会让事情顺其自然。
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
成功不是幸福的关键。快乐是成功的关键。如果你热爱你所做的事情,你就会成功。
Memory is the happiness of being alone.
回忆是独处的快乐。
