第19章 最美的快乐生活旋律 (7)

勇敢地对抗你的障碍,并努力战胜它们。你会发现,它的难度不及你想象的一半。

当你给予别人快乐时,你的快乐也会增加;当你只想到自己的快乐时,你的快乐就会减少。给予他人快乐,可以收获到更多意想不到的快乐。

你怎样看问题比问题本身更重要,因此,要时常乐观地思考。

全心全意地为生活付出,生活也会将它的全部回报给你。

self-confidence [self'knfid()ns] n. 自信

The Moon makes the dark night with vigor, with glory, with self-

confidence.

月亮让黑暗的夜晚有了生机,有了光彩,有了自信。

obstacle ['bstkl] n. 障碍

She has the determination to overcome all the obstacles to success.

她有决心克服通往成功路上的一切障碍。

diminish [di'mini] v. 减少;变小

An occasional outburst didn't diminish my respect for her.

偶尔的一次发火并未减少我对她的尊敬。

accumulate ['kju:mjuleit] v. 积聚;堆积

Profound knowledge needs to accumulate day by day.

渊博的知识是一点点地积累起来的。

生活的奥秘不在于你身上发生了什么,而在于你怎样对待发生在你身上的事。

自信是成功的第一要诀。因此,要相信自己!

当你给予别人快乐时,你的快乐也会增加。

Then just never, never, never give up.

give up:放弃;投降;停止;把……送交
