快樂之門

佚 名

快樂就像一塊為了激起陣陣漣漪而丟進池塘的小石頭。

Happiness is like a pebble dropped into a pool to set in motion an ever?widening circle of ripples.

快樂是一種意外的收獲，但保持快樂是一種成就，一種靈性的勝利。

Being happy is a sort of unexpected divi?dend.But staying happy is an accomplishment,a triumph of soul and character.

不快樂就像傳染病，它使得人們都躲避不快樂的人。不快樂的人很快就會發現自己處于孤獨、悲慘、痛苦的境地。然而，有一種簡單得看似荒謬的治病良方：如果你不快樂，就假裝你很快樂！

Being unhappy is like an infectious dis?ease.It causes people to shrink away from the sufferer.He soon finds himself alone,miserable and embittered.There is,however,a cure so simple as to seem,at first glance,ridiculous:if you don't feel happy,pretend to be!

這很有效。不久你就會發現，別人不再躲著你了，相反，你開始吸引別人了。你會發覺，做一塊能激起好意漣漪的小石頭有多么值得。

It works.Before long you will find that in?stead of repelling people,you attract them.You discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circles of goodwill.

一旦你認識到快樂是一種責任并使快樂成為習慣，通向不可思議的樂園的大門就會向你敞開，那里滿是感激你的朋友。

Being happy,once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit,opens doors into un?imaginable gardens thronged with grateful friends.
