Happiness

Many people think that when they become rich and successful,happiness will naturally follow.Let me tell you that nothing is further from the truth.

The world is full of very rich peoplewho are as miserable as if they were living in hell.We have read stories about movie stars who committed suicide or died from drugs.Quite clearly, money is not the only answer to all problems.Wealth obtained through dishonest means does not bring happiness.

Lottery winnings do not bring happiness.Gamble winnings do not bring happiness.To my mind, the secret to happiness lies in your successful work,There is no use saying in your contribution towards others’ happinessand in your wealth you have earned through your own honest effort.If you obtain wealth through luck or dishonest means,you will know that it is ill earned money.If you get your money by taking advantage of others or by hurting others,

you will not be happy with it.You will think you are a base person.

Long－term happiness is based on honesty, productive work, contribution, and self－esteem.Happiness is not an end; it is a process.It is a continuous process of honest, productive workwhich makes a real contribution to othersand makes you feel you are a useful, worthy person.As Dr. Wayne wrote, “There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.”“Some day when I achieve these goals,when I get a car, build a house and own my own business,then I will be really happy.”Life just does not work that way.

If you wait for certain things to happenand depend on external circumstances of life to make you happy,you will always feel unfulfilled.There will always be something missing

翻译：

幸福

很多人认为当他们有钱和成功时，幸福自然而然地来临。

让我来告诉你没有什么完全是事实。

这个世界充满了那些非常痛苦像在地狱生活的却很富裕的人。

我们已经读过一些关于电影明星自杀或因毒品死亡的故事。

很明显，钱不是所有问题的唯一答案。

通过不正当手段获得的财富并不带来快乐。彩票奖金不能带来幸福。赌博赢钱不能带来幸福。在我看来幸福的秘密在于你成功的工作。无需说你为别人的幸福的贡献，在你的财富中已经有你通过诚实努力所获得的。如果你通过幸运或者不诚实获得钱财，你将会知道那是有失明智的方式获得钱财的。如果你通过利用别人或者伤害别人的方式获得钱财，你将会为之感到不高兴。你会认为自己是个卑鄙的人。长期的幸福是建立在诚实，高效的作业和自信心的基础上的。幸福不是一个结局而是一个过程。它是一个诚实，高效工作持续的过程，是为他人真正贡献，冰让自己觉得自己是个有用，可敬的人。

就像韦恩所写的，“没有方法可以获得幸福，幸福就是方法。”“某天，当我实现这些目标，当我有一辆车，一幢房子和自己的事业时，我就会感到幸福。”

生活是你工作的方式。

如果你等待某种特定的事发生和让你快乐的生活取决于外部的环境，你将永远不会感到满足。

你一定会错过某些事。

星火四级晨读英语美文100篇【励志感悟】第12篇 This I Believe By John D. Rockefeller I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and his right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation, every possession, a duty. I believe that the law was made for man and not man for the law; that government is the servant of the people and not their master. I believe in the dignity of labor whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living. I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered living and that economy is a prime requisite of a sound financial structure, whether in government, business or personal affairs. I believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social order. I believe in the sacredness of a promise, that a man’s word should be as good as his bond; that character - not wealth or power or position is of supreme worth. I believe that the rendering of useful service is the common duty of mankind and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness consumed and the greatness of the human soul set free. I believe in the all-wise and all-loving God; named by what ever name, and that individual’s highest fulfillment, greatest happiness and widest usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with his will. 10. I believe that love is the greatest thing the world; that it alone can overcome hate; that right can and will triumph over might. 翻译：洛克菲勒家族信条我信仰个人的价值至上，我信仰个人对生命，自由和追求幸福权利的价值无与伦比。我相信每一种权利皆包含一种责任；每一个机会皆包含一个义务；每一次拥有皆包含一份职责。我相信法律是为人所制定，而非人为法律所创造；我相信政府是人民的仆人，而非人民的主人。我信仰人因工作而高贵阳市，而不管是脑力和体力；我相信世界对人类之生存并不负有义务，它却给予人人谋生的机会。我相信节俭是理性生活之不可或缺，我相信无论是在政府内，还是在商务或个人事务中，节约在健全的财政架构中是最基本的需要。我相信真理与正义是维护社会秩序的基石。我相信诺言神圣，相信人当言而有信；我相信品德——而非财富，权力，地位---的价值无限。我相信乐善好施是人类共同之义务，我相信只有在奉献的纯净火焰中自私自利的渣滓才能毁灭，人类灵魂的伟大才得以自由展现。我信仰全能全知和博爱的上帝，不论如何冠其名，皆可以与上帝意志和谐的生活中发现一个人的最大的满足，最大的幸福和最广泛的价值体现。我相信爱是人世间最伟大之物；相信惟有爱能战胜仇恨；相信正义必将战胜强权力量。

People say they'd like to do this or that,but...then they offer all the excuses in the world why they can't do whatever it is.No matter what the excuses are,the only thing usually limiting them is their own self-perception. If I've learned anyhing,I've learned a person--any person--can do just about anything they set their mind to.The only thing they need is a willingness to work for what you want,patience to learn what you need to know,and just a little bit of belief in yourself,but you only need a seed.Your faith in yourself will grow with you as you move forward. If you self-perception is that you can't accompilsh somthing because you're not smart enough,then take the time to learn what you need to know and your self-perception will change. If your self-perception is that you can't accompilsh something because you never finsh anything you start,then go finsh something and change your self-perception. If your self-perception is that you're too lazy,too bust,too unworthy,too unfocused,too depressed,too dependent on others,the you're right.You are that because you believe that,but you can change that! Life is change,and the past doesn't equal the future.Your today is the result of your past beliefs and actions.Change your beliefs and action and you change your future.If you think you can or you can't,you're right.You are what you think.

星火英语四级美文听力3篇 Exercise A state of physical and mental health allows you to take part in exercise fortably and enjoyably so that it doesn’t hurt, so that you can look forward to it, and feel good afterwards. If you are feeling down, exercise may help pick you up. Although researchersdisagree on this issue , one review of past studies found that long-term exercise, especially when it includes long-lasting, strenuous training sessions, has about as much of an effect on depression as psychotherapy. Working out helps you deal with stress in your job, relationships or any area of life —possibly because exercise is a form of stress itself and helps condition your body to deal with it.When Australian researchers pared people who did 30 minutes of aerobic exercise three times a week to those who practiced progressive relaxation techniques, they found that the former group responded better to acute stress and had lower blood pressure. Even a little exercise can make you think less

星火四级晨读英语美文100篇【励志感悟】第17篇 The Power of Beauty One of the most successful, influential and beloved women in American history, Eleanor Roosevelt once said that she had one regret: she wished she had been prettier. Who hasn’t felt the same way? We are all too aware of our physical imperfections. To overcome them, we spend billions upon billions of dollars every year on cosmetics, diet products, fashion, and plastic surgery. Why do we care so much about how we look? Because it matters. Because beauty is powerful. Because even when we learn to value people mostly for being kind and wise and funny, we are still moved by beauty. No matter how much we argue against it or pretend to be immune, beauty exerts its power over us. There is simply no escape. Aristotle said, “Beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of introduction.” It’s not fair, but it’s true. We simply treat beautiful people better than we do others. Attach a photograph of a beautiful author to an essay, and people will think that is more creative and more intelligently written than exactly the same essay accompanied by the photo of a homely author. Our sensitivity to physical beauty is not something we can control at will. We are born with it. Experiments conducted by psychologist Judith J. Langlois showed that even small infants prefer to look at attractive faces. Before they have met a single supermodel, before they have watched a single TV show, before they have opened up a single fashion magazine, they are drawn to the same faces which adults have judged to be attractive. There are more important things in life than beauty. But as Etcoff says, “We have to understand beauty, or we will always be enslaved by it.” If you aim to be wise and kind and funny, it doesn’t mean that you can’t also try your best to look beautiful. There’s no reason to feel guilty about being moved by beauty’s power. It moves us all. 翻译：美的力量身为美国史上最成功、最有影响力且最受人喜爱的女性之一的罗斯福夫人曾说她有一个遗憾：她希望自己长得更漂亮。谁没有过同样的想法呢？我们都强烈感觉到自己身体的缺陷。为了克服缺陷，我们每年都要花费几十亿美元--在化妆品、减肥食品、流行时尚与整容手术上。我们如此这么在意自己的外貌？因为它很重要。因为美的力量很大。因为即使我们学着基本上去看重仁慈、智能、风趣的人，但我们仍会受到美的感动。无论我们多么用力辩驳，或假装对它免疫，美仍然对我们产生影响。根本无法逃避。亚里斯多德说：“美是比任何介绍信都要有用的推荐函。”这并不公平，但却是事实。我们就是会对美丽的人比较好。把一位美丽作家的照片贴在作品上，读者就会认为这篇文章较有创意，写得更有智能。完全相同的文章配上相貌平凡的作家照片，评价就会较低。我们对外在美的敏感，不是可以控制自如的。我们天生就这么敏感。心理学家朱迪丝蓝洛斯的实验显示，就连小婴儿也喜欢看漂亮的脸。他们从来没有见过超级名模、没看过电视节目，也没翻开过时尚杂志，却已经受到大人也认为有魅力的脸庞所吸引。人生中有比美丽更重要的事，但就如艾特考夫所说：“我们必须了解美，否则我们永远都会是它的奴隶。”如果你的目标是要聪明、仁慈又风趣，这并不代表你就不能尽力让自己变得漂亮。被美的力量感动，并不需要有罪恶感，因为所有的人都受它感动。

2星火英语四级美文听力第2篇The English Character

The English Character To other Europeans, the best known quality of the British,and in particular of the English, is “reserved”.A reserved person is one who does not talk very much to strangers,does not show much emotion, and seldom gets excited.It is difficult to get to know a reserved person:he never tells you anything about himself,and you may work with him for years without ever knowing where he lives,how many children he has, and what his interests are.English people tend to be like that.Closely related to English reserve is English modesty.Within their hearts, the English are perhaps no less conceited than anybody else,but in their relations with others they value at least a show of modesty.Self－praise is felt to be impolite.If a person is, let us say,very good at tennis and someone asks him if he is a good player,he will seldom reply “Yes,”because people will think him conceited.He will probably give an answer like,“I’m not bad,” or “I think I’m very good,” or “Well, I’m very keen on tennis.”Even if he had managed to reach the finals in last year’s local championships,he would say it in such a way as to suggest that it was only due to a piece of good luck.Since reserve and modesty are part of his own nature,the typical English tends to expect them in others.He secretly looks down on more excitable nations,and likes to think of himself as more reliable than they are.He doesn’t trust big promises and open shows of feelings,especially if they are expressed in flowery language.He doesn’t trust self －praise of any kind.This applies not only to what other people may tell him about themselves orally,but to the letters they may write to him.To those who are fond of flowery expressions,the Englishman may appear uncomfortably cold. quality ['kw?l?ti]n. 质量，品质；特性；才能

We neglect our health, time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love to do. One day when we look back, we will realize that we don t really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed. Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition. Life is definitely not about work! Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life. Life is a balance of work and play, family and personal time. You have to decide how you want to balance your life.Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life,the whole aim of human existence. So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile. Life is short. Do not take life for granted.
