03经典背诵
The Joy of Living生活的乐趣
Joy in living comes from having fine emotions,trusting them,giving them the ******* of a bird in the open.Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose or put on from the outside as a mask.People who have this joy do not need to talk about it; they radiate it.They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight and glow into other lives as naturally as bird sings.
We can never get it by working for it directly.It comes,like happiness,to those who are aiming at something higher.It is a by product of great,****** living.The joy of living comes from what we put into living,not from what we seek to get from it.
生活之乐趣来源于良好的情绪,信赖这些情绪,并任由它们如同鸟儿高翔于天空般地自由自在。 生活的乐趣是无法靠姿态摆出来的,也无法戴上一张面具来伪装。有这种乐趣的人们无需挂在嘴边,他们自然会焕发出快乐的气息。他们自己生活在快乐当中,也将这样的快乐自然而然地感染着他人,犹如是鸟儿就必将歌唱。
直接追求生活的乐趣却只会使乐趣远离我们,它与幸福一样青睐胸有大志的人们。生活过得高雅、简单便会产生出乐趣。它是我们对生活的投入,而非所求。
