　　快乐源于"简单生活"。名、利、权、财乃外在的荣光，真正的快乐来自于真实独特的自我，也就是坚持自己的生活原则，保持心灵的那份宁静，过自己想过的生活，你定会找到快乐!不在乎别人认为我该做什么，而在乎我认为自己该去做些什么。这就么简单!

　　In a small village there lived a man who was always happy, kind, and well disposed to everyone he met. People knew they could count on him, and regarded him as a great friend.

　　在一个小村庄，有一个人总是快乐而热情，和每个人和谐相处。人们知道他可以信任，把他当成好朋友。

　　One of the villagers was curious to know what his secret was, how could he be always so kind and helpful? How is it that he held no grudge towards anyone and was always happy?

　　一个村民对他充满好奇，想知道他的秘密所在。他怎么会一直如此热情、助人为乐?为什么他和每个人都毫无怨尤，始终快乐?

　　Once, upon meeting him in the street he asked him: "Most people are selfish and unsatisfied. They do not smile as often as you do; neither are they as helpful or kind as you are. How do you explain it?"

　　一天，那个村民在街上遇到了那个人，他问道：“大多数人自私自利，贪得无厌。他们不像你一样经常面带微笑，也不像你一样乐于助人。这该如何解释呢?

　　"When you make peace with yourself, then you can be in peace with the rest of the world. If you can recognize the spirit in yourself, you can recognize the spirit in everyone, and then you find it natural to be kind and well disposed to all. If your thoughts are under your control you become strong and firm."

　　“当你和自己和平相处时，你就能和世界和平相处。如果你认可了自己的心境，你就能认可别人的心境。然后你就会顺其自然，热情而且和谐与人相处。当你的思想被你控制时，你就会变得强大而且坚定。

　　"But a lot of work is necessary. The work is difficult and endless. There are many walls that need to be climbed. It is not an easy task." Lamented the vvillager.

　　“可是很多事儿必须得做。工作很难而且做也做不完。很多困难需要克服，这可不是件容易事儿。”村民哀叹道。

　　"Do not think about the difficulties, otherwise that's what you will see and experience. Just quieten your feelings and thoughts and try to stay in this peace. All the abilities and powers awaken spontaneously."

　　“不要考虑那些困难，否则你要看到和即将经历的都会是困难。使自己的情感和想法冷静下来，并尽量保持这种状态，自然会唤起所有的能力和力量。”

　　英语散文二

　　The lives of most men are determined by their enviroment.They accept the circumstances amid which fate has thrown them not only resignation but even with good will.They are like streetcars running contendedly on their rails and they despise the sprightly flitter that dashes in and out of the traffic and speeds so jauntily across the open country .I respct them; they are good citizens,good husbands,and good fathers ,and of course somebody has to pay the taxes; but I do not find them exciting. I am fasinated by the men, few enough in all conscience , who take life in their own hands and seem to mould it in to their own liking. It may be that we have no such thing as free will, but at all events, we have the illusion of it. At a cross-road it does seem to us that we might go either to the right or to the left and ,the choice once made, it is difficult to see that the whole course of the world's history obliged us to take the turning we did.

　　[参考译文]

　　大多数人的生活被他们身处的环境所决定。他们不仅接受既定的命运，而且顺从命运的安排。他们就像街上的电车一样，在他们既定的轨道上行驶，而对于那些不时出没于车水马龙间和欢快地奔驰在旷野上的廉价小汽车却不屑一顾。我尊重他们，他们是好公民、好丈夫和好父亲。当然，总得有些人来支付税收，但是，他们并没有令人激动的地方。另外有一些人，他把生活掌握在自己的手里，可以按照自己的喜好去创造生活，尽管这样的人少之又少，但我却被他们深深的吸引着。可能世界上并没有诸如自由意志这样的事情，但是无论怎样，我们总有关于自由意志的的幻想。当我们处在一个十字路口时，我们似乎可以决定向左走还是向右走，可是一旦做出选择，我们却很难意识到，实际上是世界历史的全部进程强迫我们做出了那样的选择。
