幸福是一段旅程 Happiness Is a Journey

如果你爱看韩剧,看过《我的名字叫金三顺》,或许你会记得一个片段:金三顺在公车站台读一首诗,还没读完,双眼就满含泪水。这首诗最先出自一位名叫 Alfred D’Souza 的神父之手。我们中的许多人未必爱看韩剧,未必看过《我的名字叫金三顺》,但看到这些句子、这样的生活态度或许也会被打动:

Love like you’ve never been hurt,Dance like nobody’s watching,Sing like nobody’s listening,Work like you don’t need the money,Live like it’s heaven on earth. 
去爱吧,如同不曾受过伤害一样,跳舞吧,就像没有人注视你一样,唱歌吧,如同没有人聆听一样,工作吧,如同不需要金钱一样,活着吧,如同今天是末日一样。
For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin—real life. But, there was always some obstacle1 in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished busines time still to be served or a debt2 to be paid. Then life would begin. 
长期以来,我都觉得生活——真正的生活似乎就要开始了。但是,总会有一些障碍挡住去路,一些必须先完成的事情,一些未完成的工作,一些要付出的时间或一些要偿还的债务。之后,生活就会开始了。
At last it dawned on me that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. 
最后,我突然醒悟过来:通往幸福的道路并不存在,幸福本身就是通途。
So treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you share it with someone special, someone special enough to spend your time with. Make the most of your time. Don’t waste too much of your time studying, working, or stressing about something that seems important. Do what you want to do to be happy but also do what you can to make the people you care about happy. Remember that time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you take your last test, until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you have the perfect body, the perfect car, or whatever other perfect things you desire. 
因此,珍惜你所拥有的每一寸时光吧;当你和某位特别的、值得你与之共度时光的人在一起时,请加倍珍惜。将你的时间用得其所。不要浪费太多时间在学习、工作或烦心一些看似重要的事情上。做你想做的事以使自己快乐;同时做你力所能及的事以使自己关心的人快乐。记住,时不待人。因此,不要再等下去了——等到考完最后一科,等到完成学业,等到重回学校,等到你拥有完美的身体、完美的座驾、或其他你想要的完美之物。
Stop waiting until the weekend, when you can party or let loose, until summer, spring, fall or winter, until you find the right person and get married, until you die, until you’re born again, to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy. 
不要再等下去了——等到周末,你可以宴请亲朋或是放松身心;等到夏天、春天、秋天或冬天,等到你找到合适的人结婚,等到你死去,等到你重生,才明白没有任何时候比此刻更应追求快乐的了。
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.So work like you don’t need the money,Love like you have never been hurt,And dance like no one’s watching. 
幸福是一段旅程,不是一个终点。因此,工作吧,如同不需要金钱一样,去爱吧,如同不曾受过伤害一样,跳舞吧,就像没有人注视你一样。
