Sometimes we get so busy and caught up in daily life that we forget to be grateful.
有时，我们过于繁忙，忙于芜杂的生活琐事，连感激都忘记了。
We expect everyone to do their share without being asked. The only time anyone hears anything is when a chore has not been completed.
我们期望每个人都能够自觉地尽职尽责，在这个时间每个人所能听到的就是做完活。
This attitude, over the long haul, will develop very resentful and uncooperative family members.
这种态度，日积月累，在家人之间就会发展为抱怨和不和。
When life is good, gratitude is easy. It becomes more challenging to be grateful when we are experiencing hard times.
生活安稳的时候，表达感激就会很简单。但是，当我们面对艰辛的生活时，表达感激就很难了。
Financial hardship, long-term illness, the death of a loved one and marital strife can all be trying and difficult.
经济困难，长期疾病，亲人过世和婚姻纠纷这些都可能让人心烦，给生活带来困难。
It is hard to find anything to be grateful for. But while pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. We have a choice in how we view our circumstances.
这时候，甚至连找一个感激的理由都很难。虽然痛苦无法避免，但我们有权选择是否接受痛苦，有权选择我们该如何看待我们周围的环境。
We can turn our hearts to God and trust that he has a plan for us. We can be thankful for the lessons we learn and the opportunities for personal growth and transformation.
我们可以相信上帝，相信上帝会给我们做好安排的。我们感激经验教训，感激给个人成长和变化的机遇。
Look at all the people in this world who share the gifts they received during especially difficult times of their life. It is the painful times of my life that have made me stronger, wiser, and more loving today.
看看大千世界中的芸芸众生，他们在生活的艰难中获得了礼物。正是生活中的那些痛苦时期让我更加坚强，更加聪明，更加热爱今天!
I recently attended a powerful seminar on the various levels of energy that a human being emanates.
最近，我参加了一个很有影响的研讨班，讨论的主题是人类产生的多级能量。
The presenter identified seven different levels of energy. The first level of energy is defined by feelings of apathy and thoughts of victimization.
与会者把能量分成7级。第一级能量是根据冷漠的感情和牺牲他人的思想而定义的;
A person at a level two energy has feelings of anger and thoughts of conflict.
第二级能量的人怀有愤怒的感情和对抗的思想;
As a person moves up the energy scale, their feelings and thoughts are more positive.
人的能量级别越高，他的感情和思想也就更加积极。
At level seven, one would experience unconditional love and no judgmental thoughts.
在第七级别，人就会获得自由的爱和辨证的思想。
Only God radiates at level seven. The average person emits energy at a level of 2.5. To experience peace and joy, an in- dividual must raise his energy level to 5 or 6.
只有上帝才能达到第七级。人类平均拥有的能量级别为2.5。要想拥有和平和欢乐，个人的能量级别必须达到5或6。
So how can we raise our energy level and open our heart to joy? One powerful way is to develop an attitude of gratitude.
那么我们该如何提高我们的能量级别呢?如何敞开胸怀拥抱欢乐呢?一个有效的方法就是养成感激的态度。
Look at every- one with grateful eyes. Listen to your heart and the heart of your loved ones. Speak words of affirmation every day of your life. Be grateful for your life with all its lessons and blessings.
看下那些感激的眼神，聆听你的内心和你所爱的人的内心，每天说些肯定的话，感激你的生命所拥有的教训和祝福。
The more grateful thoughts and feelings you experience and express the more instrumental you will be in healing the world. And your outlook on life will improve in the process.
你拥有的感激的思想和感情越多，你对社会的作用就越大，你对生命的见解也会更深。

A Goodbye Kiss
爸爸的道别之吻
The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob starred to stand up and jostled the table, spillinghis coffee over his notes. "How embarrassing. I am getting so clumsy in my old age."
董事会议结束了，鲍勃站起身时不小心撞到了桌子，把咖啡洒到了笔记本上。“真丢脸啊，这把年级了还毛毛糙糙的。”他不好意思地说。
Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassingmoments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said,"Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment."
所有人都哈哈大笑起来，然后我们都开始讲述自己经历的最尴尬的时刻。一圈过来，轮到一直默默坐在那儿听别人讲的弗兰克了。有人说：“来吧，弗兰克，给大家讲讲你最难为情的时刻。”
Frank began," I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He hadhis own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay outuntil he caught enough to feed he family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Momand Dad. " He looked at us and said," I wish you could have met my Dad. He was a big man,and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got closeto him, he smelled the ocean."
弗兰克开始了他的讲述。“我是在桑派德罗长大的。我爸爸是一位渔夫，他非常热爱大海。他有自己的小船，但是靠在海上捕鱼为生太艰难了。他辛勤的劳动着，一直待在海上直到捕到足以养活全家的鱼为止。他不仅要养活我们的小家，还要养活爷爷奶奶以及还未成家的弟弟妹妹，”弗兰克看着我们，继续说，“我真希望你们见过我的爸爸，他是一个身材高大的男人。因长期拉网捕鱼，与大海搏斗的缘故，他十分强壮。走进他时，你能够闻到他身上散发出来的大海的气息。”
Frank's voice dropped a bit." When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He wouldpull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching.Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. Itwas so embarrassing for me. Here I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kissme good-bye!"
弗兰克的声音低了一点：“天气不好的时候，爸爸会开车送我们去学校。他会把车停在学校正门口，好像每个人都能站在一旁观看。然后，他弯下身子在我脸上重重的亲了一口，告诉我要做一个好孩子。这让我觉得很难为情。那时我已经12岁了，而爸爸还俯身给我一个道别的亲吻。”
He paused and then went on," I remember the day I thought I was too old for a good-bye kiss.When we got the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to leantoward me, but I put my hand up and said,' No, Dad.' It was the first time I had ever talked tohim that way, and he had this surprised looked on his face.
弗兰克停顿了一下，又继续说道：“我还记得那天。我认为自己已经长大到不再合适一个道别亲吻了。当我们到了学校停下来的时候，像往常一样爸爸露出了灿烂的笑容，他开始向我俯下身来，然后我抬手挡住了他，‘不，爸爸。’那是我第一次那样对他说话，他十分吃惊。”
I said, 'Dad, I'm too old for a good-bye kiss. 'I'm too old for any kind of kiss.' My Dad looked atme for the longest tine, and his eyes started to tear up. I had never seen him cry. He turnedand looked our the windshield.' You're right,' he said. 'You are a big boy…… a man. I won't kissyou anymore.'"
“我说道：‘爸爸，我已经长大了，大到不再适合接受一个道别亲吻了。也不再适合任何的亲吻了。’爸爸盯着我看了好长时间，潸然泪下。我从来未见过他哭泣。他转过身子，透过挡风玻璃向外望去：“没错，你已经是一个大男孩儿……一个男子汉了。我以后再也不这样亲吻你了。”
For the moment, Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes. "It wasn't long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back."
讲到这儿，弗兰克脸上露出了古怪的表情，泪水还是在眼眶里打转。“从那之后没多久，爸爸出海后就再也没回来了。”
I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again." Guys,you don't know what I woud give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek……to feel his rough old face…… to smell the ocean on him…… to feel his arm around my neck. Iwish I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would been a man, I would never have toldmy Dad I was too old for a good-bye kiss."
我看着弗兰克，眼泪正顺着他的脸颊流下来。弗兰克又开口了：“伙计们，你们不知道，如果我爸爸能在我脸上亲一下……让我感觉一下他那粗糙了脸……闻一闻他身上海洋的气息……享受他搂着我脖子的感觉，那么我付出什么都愿意。我真希望那时候我是一个真正的男子汉。如果我是，我绝不会告诉爸爸我已经长大到不再适合一个道别的亲吻了。

Be Happy
快乐
“The days that make us happy make us wise.”----John Masefield
“快乐的日子使人睿智。”——约翰 梅斯菲而德
When I first read this line by England’s Poet Laureate, it startled me. What did Masefield mean?Without thinking about it much, I had always assumed that the opposite was true. But hissober assurance was arresting. I could not forget it.
第一次读到英国桂冠诗人梅斯菲而德的这行诗时，我感到十分震惊。他想表达什么意思?我以前从未对此仔细考虑，总是认定这行诗反过来才正确。但他冷静而又胸有成竹的表达引起了我的注意，令我无法忘怀。
Finally, I seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound observation.The wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear perception, not fogged by anxiety nordimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind spots caused by fear.
终于，我似乎领会到了它的意思，并意识到这行诗意义深远。快乐带来的睿智存在于敏锐的洞察力之前，不会因忧虑而含混迷惑，也不会因绝望和厌倦而暗淡模糊，更不会因恐惧而造成盲点。
Active happiness---not mere satisfaction or contentment ---often comes suddenly, like anApril shower or the unfolding of a bud. Then you discover what kind of wisdom hasaccompanied it. The grass is greener; bird songs are sweeter; the shortcomings of your friendsare more understandable and more forgivable. Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correctingyour spiritual vision.
积极的快乐——并非单纯的满意或知足——通常不期而至，就像四月里突然下起的春雨，或是花蕾的突然绽放。然后，你就会发觉与快乐结伴而来的究竟是何种智慧。草地更为青翠，鸟鸣更为甜美，朋友的缺点也变的更能让人理解、宽容。快乐就像一副眼镜，可以矫正你的精神视力。
Nor are the insights of happiness limited to what is near around you. Unhappy, with yourthoughts turned in upon your emotional woes, your vision is cut short as though by a wall.Happy, the wall crumbles.
快乐的视野并不仅限于你周围的事物。当你不快乐时，你的思维陷入情感上的悲哀，你的眼界就像被一道墙给阻隔住了。而当你快乐时，这道墙会砰然倒塌。
The long vista is there for the seeing. The ground at your feet, the world about you----people,thoughts, emotions, pressures---are now fitted into the larger scene. Everything assumes afairer proportion. And here is the beginning of wisdom.
你的眼界变的更为宽广。你脚下的大地，你身边的世界，包括人、思想、情感和压力，现在都融入了更为广阔的景象之中，其间每件事物的比例都更加合理。而这就是睿智的起始。
