什么是幸福

我不是一个好老师，在老师的眼里，分数是衡量一个学生成功与否的唯一标准，但在我看来，开心与否才是衡量成功的唯一标准。上周让学生写英语作文，谈谈什么是幸福。

以下是我认同的幸福观：

Happiness, after all, is a state of mind. Do not think happiness is a serious thing you can never have without making painful efforts 。 Actually happiness is around us. Even the most ordinary people can find happiness in their common everyday life. When you are thirsty, water makes you happy. When you are hungry, food gives you happiness.when you are sweating buckets,a gust of wind brings you happiness. When you are exhausted from a hard working day, you can get happiness out of a good shower .（幸福,毕竟只是内心的一种感受。不要认为幸福非要经过艰苦的努力才能获得。幸福其实就在我们的身边。即使是最平凡的人也能从日常生活中找到快乐和幸福。幸福就是渴极时的一杯凉白开，饥肠辘辘时的一个白面馒头，汗流浃背时吹来的一阵清风，劳累一天后一个畅快的热水浴。）

The peace and happiness one feels when one is content is most precious and rare, even the king of the Heavens cannot have it with all his power and wealth

（当一个人因 为满足而产生的的宁静感与幸福感是人生最宝贵的财富，即使是上帝也没能力靠他的权利和财富去获取。）

Plenty of us are so at pains in the pursuit of prosperity or pleasure that we simply forget to live. When our lives draw to an end, we find ourselves still unhappy. Our life has passed then. We have nothing left but unhappiness.（太多人终其一生追逐名利,却忘记了生活之根本。当我们走到人生的终点，发现自己仍然不快乐。我们的一生过去了，而除了不开心，我们一无所有）

In many times, what we exactly need to do is do less. A pure mind and simple life is good enough.（很多时候，,我们真正要做的就是少做一点。拥有纯净的心和简单的生活就足够了）
