Many people think that when they become rich and successful,happine ss will naturally follow.Let me tell you that nothing is further from t he truth.The world is full of very rich people who are as miserable as if they were living in hell.We have read stories about movie stars who committed suicide or died from drugs.Quite clearly,money is not the on ly answer to all problems.
Wealth obtained through dishonest means does not bring happiness.Lo ttery winnings do not bring happiness.Gamble winnings do not bring happ iness.To my mind,the secret to happiness lies in your successful work,in your contribution towards others'happiness and in your wealth you ha ve earned through your own honest effort.If you obtain wealth through l uck or dishonest means,you will know that it is ill earned money.If yo u get your money by taking advantage of others or by hurting others,you will not be happy with it.You will think you are a base person.
Long-term happiness is based on honesty,productive work,contributi on,and self-esteem.Happiness is not an end;it is a process.It is a c ontinuous process of honest,productive work which makes a real contribu tion to others and makes you feel you are a useful,worthy person.As Dr.Wayne wrote,"There is no way to happiness.Happiness is the way." The re is no use saying "Some day when I achieve these goals,when I get a c ar,build a house and own my own business,then I will be really happy".Life just does not work that way.If you wait for certain things to happ en and depend on external circumstances of life to make you happy,you w ill always feel unfulfilled.There will always be something missing.
很多人認為，擁有財富與聲望之時，便是幸福到來之際。我得告訴你，事實並非如此。這個世界，富有卻痛苦得如同生活在地獄的人比比皆是。關於電影明星自殺或吸毒致死的報道，我們不是沒有見過。毫無疑問，金錢並非解決全部問題的唯一辦法。
