英語美文：我的幸福我做主閱讀
摘錄:我們對自己的整體看法纔會決定我們精神狀態，而我們的精神狀態又決定我們的幸福。我的幸福只有自己才能做主。
"You are the only one who can make you happy." We have all heard that so many times in our lives.
“你是唯一一個可以讓自己幸福的人。”我們的生活中常常聽到人們這麼說。
There are times it is a pretty tough pill to swallow. In reality, the people that surround you have a huge impact on your current mood.
那些時間就像在吞嚥一顆苦澀的藥片讓人無奈。事實上，你周圍的人會對你的心情有相當大的影響。
When your children are grumpy in the morning, you find a nice pile the dog left you over night, you hit the road and the traffic won't allow you your normal speed, then when you get to work and your co-worker call in sick... these are all things that might contribute to your overall Happiness of the day.
例如，早晨你的孩子很不聽話，一夜過後你的狗給你留下一堆"特別"的東西，你開車的路上交通阻塞，當你開始工作時你的同事打電話說他身體不適等等，這些事情都將會影響你一整天的幸福感覺。
However, moods and temporary emotions are not the same as happiness. Happiness exists when you look at the overall picture of your life and you smile, that is happiness.
然而，心情和暫時的情感都是不能和幸福相提並論的。當你回顧自己的生活的方方面面，仍面帶微笑，那就是幸福。是的，這纔是幸福。
You know those times when you can't wait for your children to go to bed, then later you check on the kids and you almost cry because they look exactly like angels... YOUR ANGELS, sleeping so sweetly and soundly. You can hardly remember a time of irritation with them. That is Happiness.
你知道的，你沒能等到你孩子去睡覺，但是當去檢查他們睡得是否安好時，你幾乎能流淚，因爲他們睡得是如此的香甜，就像是天使……你的天使。你似乎不記得他們曾惹你生氣了，這纔是幸福。
As life progresses and changes, we realize that who we are, (what makes us, us)... that is what we are responsible for.
隨着生活的變化和提高，我們開始認識到我們是誰，(是什麼造就了現在的我們……)……我們的責任是什麼。
We know that immediate gratification or irritation only pacifies or deteriorates our emotional stimuli short term.
我們知道一時的滿足和煩惱只是使我們使情緒得到短暫的安慰或惡化。
Our general view of how we see ourselves determines our state of mind. Our state of mind determines our Happiness.
我們對自己的整體看法纔會決定我們精神狀態，而我們的精神狀態又決定我們的幸福。
