幸福是一個旅程 Happiness is a Journey

We always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, than another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.

我們總是說服自己，當我們結婚、生子後，生活會變得美好。然而因為孩子年紀太小不懂事，而讓我們很心煩，我們又以為等他們長大了些，情況應該會改善。之後當孩子長大了些，我們又因為不知該如何跟青春期的少男少女們好好交流而困惑。我們總是深信當他們跨越到下一個階段時，事情就會有轉機。

We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together. When we get a nice car, and are able to go on a nice vocation when we retire. The truth is, there's no better time than right now. If not now, when? Our life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.

我們總是對自己說，我們有忠誠盡責的另一半，人生就堪稱圓滿。當我們買了一台漂亮的車子，我們會想著，等退休後我們就可以開著車去度假了。但事實是，其實再也沒有比現在更好的時光了，因為，如果不是現在，那麼是什麼時候呢？我們的人生總是充滿了挑戰，我們最好承認這一點，然後下決心無論如何都要保持快樂。
