時尚雙語:25句幸福語
Written on 4/07/2008 by Shanel Yang, of Shanel Yang - Easy Steps to Success.
Seven years ago I came across this list. I don't recall where it came from but I do know that I couldn’t agree with even one of these statements. In fact, I found the very idea of anyone being able to agree with most of them absurd. I thought, “You gotta be kidding me! Who really goes through life THAT friggin’ happy?” For some reason, I kept the list.
Over the years, I made it a goal to change myself or my life to eventually be able to say all of these statements with complete sincerity and heartfelt gratitude. I am surprised and pleased to realize I have finally succeeded with most of them.
I still struggle with #19 sometimes. And, I’m not exactly sure if it’s such a bad thing to need to compete with others (#10) since competition is a great motivator. But, other than that, I’ve pretty much achieved the rest thanks to my new career as a writer. I’m lovin’ it!
And, so, I present this list to you in the hopes that maybe it will inspire you, too, to do whatever it takes so that you can, in the not-too-distant future, likewise, enjoy all of these great things, too.

七年前,我看到了這份有關幸福表述的單子。我不記得是從哪裏得到的，但我知道那時我不認同上面的任何一句話。事實上，當時我認爲贊成那些話的人，想法很可笑。我想，“你開玩笑吧！誰會真的過得幸福得要命？”因爲某種原因，我保留了這份單子。
多年後，我定下一個目標，要改變自我或者說是我的生活方式，努力以誠摯和感激之情來說出所有的幸福表述。最後，我竟成功地說出了大多數的幸福語，這讓我滿懷驚喜。
有時，我很難說出單子中的第十九句。並且我也不確定與別人競爭就那麼地不好（第十句），因爲競爭是一個有益的激勵因素。但除此以外，作家這個新職業讓我輕鬆說出了其餘的話語。哦，我愛這份工作！
所以呢，我把這份單子給你們，希望它也能激勵你們不惜代價做些事情，這樣，在不久的將來，你們同樣可以享受所有這些美好的事。
