Be Happy 快樂
“The days that make us happy make us wise.”----John Masefield
when I first read this line by England’s Poet Laureate, it startled me. What did Masefield mean? Without thinking about it much, I had always assumed that the opposite was true. But his sober assurance was arresting. I could not forget it.
Finally, I seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound observation. The wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear perception, not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind spots caused by fear.
Active happiness---not mere satisfaction or contentment ---often comes suddenly, like an April shower or the unfolding of a bud. Then you discover what kind of wisdom has accompanied it. The grass is greener; bird songs are sweeter; the shortcomings of your friends are more understandable and more forgivable. Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correcting your spiritual vision.
Nor are the insights of happiness limited to what is near around you. Unhappy, with your thoughts turned in upon your emotional woes, your vision is cut short as though by a wall. Happy, the wall crumbles.
The long vista is there for the seeing. The ground at your feet, the world about you----people, thoughts, emotions, pressures---are now fitted into the larger scene. Everything assumes a fairer proportion. And here is the beginning of wisdom.

“快樂的日子使人睿智?！?BR> --- 約翰？梅斯菲爾德
第一次讀到英國桂冠詩人梅斯菲爾德的這行詩時，我感到十分震驚。他想表達什么意思？我以前從未對此仔細考慮，總是認定這行詩反過來才正確。但他冷靜而又胸有成竹的表達引起了我的注意，令我無法忘懷。
終于，我似乎領會了他的意思，并意識到這行詩意義深遠?？鞓穾淼念Ｖ谴嬖谟诿翡J的洞察力之間，不會因憂慮而含混迷惑，也不會因絕望和厭倦而黯然模糊，更不會因恐懼而造成盲點。
積極的快樂 – 并非單純的滿意或知足 – 通常不期而至，就像四月里突然下起的春雨，或是花蕾的突然綻放。然后，你就會發(fā)覺與快樂結伴而來的究竟是何種智慧。草地更為青翠，鳥吟更為甜美，朋友的缺點也變得更能讓人理解，寬容?？鞓肪拖袷且桓毖坨R，可以矯正你的精神視力。
快樂的視野并不僅限于你周圍的事物。當你不快樂時，你的思維陷入情感上的悲哀，你的眼界就像是被一道墻給阻隔了，而當你快樂時，這道墻就會砰然倒塌。
你的眼界變得更為寬廣。你腳下的大地，你身邊的世界，包括人，思想，情感和壓力，現(xiàn)在都融入了更為廣闊的景象之中，其間每件事物 的比例都更加合理。而這就是睿智的起始。
Human Life a Poem 人生如詩
I think that, from a biological standpoint, human life almost reads like a poem. It has its own rhythm and beat, its internal cycles of growth and decay. It begins with innocent childhood, followed by awkward adolescence trying awkwardly to adapt itself to mature society, with its young passions and follies, its ideals and ambitions; then it reaches a manhood of intense ACTivities, profiting from experience and learning more about society and human nature; at middle age, there is a slight easing of tension, a mellowing of charACTer like the ripening of fruit or the mellowing of good wine, and the gradual acquiring of a more tolerant, more cynical and at the same time a kindlier view of life; then In the sunset of our life, the endocrine glands decrease their ACTivity, and if we have a true philosophy of old age and have ordered our life pattern according to it, it is for us the age of peace and security and leisure and contentment; finally, life flickers out and one goes into eternal sleep, never to wake up again.
One should be able to sense the beauty of this rhythm of life, to appreciate, as we do in grand symphonies, its main theme, its strains of conflict and the final resolution. The movements of these cycles are very much the same in a normal life, but the music must be provided by the individual himself. In some souls, the discordant note becomes harsher and harsher and finally overwhelms or submerges the main melody. Sometimes the discordant note gains so much power that the music can no longer go on, and the individual shoots himself with a pistol or jump into a river. But that is because his original leitmotif has been hopelessly over-showed through the lack of a good self-education. Otherwise the normal human life runs to its normal end in kind of dignified movement and procession. There are sometimes in many of us too many staccatos or impetuosos, and because the tempo is wrong, the music is not pleasing to the ear; we might have more of the grand rhythm and majestic tempo o the Ganges, flowing slowly and eternally into the sea.
No one can say that life with childhood, manhood and old age is not a beautiful arrangement; the day has its morning, noon and sunset, and the year has its seasons, and it is good that it is so. There is no good or bad in life, except what is good according to its own season. And if we take this biological view of life and try to live according to the seasons, no one but a conceited fool or an impossible idealist can deny that human life can be lived like a poem. Shakespeare has expressed this idea more graphically in his passage about the seven stages of life, and a good many Chinese writers have said about the same thing. It is curious that Shakespeare was never very religious, or very much concerned with religion. I think this was his GREatness; he took human life largely as it was, and intruded himself as little upon the general scheme of things as he did upon the characters of his plays. Shakespeare was like Nature itself, and that is the GREatest compliment we can pay to a writer or thinker. He merely lived, observed life and went away.
譯文：
人生如詩
我以為，從生物學角度看，人的一生恰如詩歌。人生自有其韻律和節(jié)奏，自有內在的生成與衰亡。人生始于無邪的童年，經(jīng)過少年的青澀，帶著激情與無知，理想與雄心，笨拙而努力地走向成熟；后來人到壯年，經(jīng)歷漸廣，閱人漸多，涉世漸深，收益也漸大；及至中年，人生的緊張得以舒緩，人的性格日漸成熟，如芳馥之果實，如醇美之佳釀，更具容忍之心，處世雖更悲觀，但對人生的態(tài)度趨于和善；再后來就是人生遲暮，內分泌系統(tǒng)活動減少，若此時吾輩已經(jīng)悟得老年真諦，并據(jù)此安排殘年，那生活將和平，寧靜，安詳而知足；終于，生命之燭搖曳而終熄滅，人開始永恒的長眠，不再醒來。
人們當學會感受生命韻律之美，像聽交響樂一樣，欣賞其主旋律、激昂的高潮和舒緩的尾聲。這些反復的樂章對于我們的生命都大同小異，但個人的樂曲卻要自己去譜寫。在某些人心中，不和諧音會越來越刺耳，最終竟然能掩蓋主曲；有時不和諧音會積蓄巨大的能量，令樂曲不能繼續(xù)，這時人們或舉槍自殺或投河自盡。
這是他最初的主題被無望地遮蔽，只因他缺少自我教育。否則，常人將以體面的運動和進程走向既定的終點。在我們多數(shù)人胸中常常會有太多的斷奏或強音，那是因為節(jié)奏錯了，生命的樂曲因此而不再悅耳。我們應該如恒河，學她氣勢恢弘而豪邁地緩緩流向大海。
人生有童年、少年和老年，誰也不能否認這是一種美好的安排，一天要有清晨、正午和日落，一年要有四季之分，如此才好。人生本無好壞之分，只是各個季節(jié)有各自的好處。如若我們持此種生物學的觀點，并循著季節(jié)去生活，除了狂妄自大的傻瓜和無可救藥的理想主義者，誰能說人生不能像詩一般度過呢。莎翁在他的一段話中形象地闡述了人生分七個階段的觀點，很多中國作家也說過類似的話。奇怪的是，莎士比亞并不是虔誠的宗教徒，也不怎么關心宗教。我想這正是他的偉大之處，他對人生秉著順其自然的態(tài)度，他對生活之事的干涉和改動很少，正如他對戲劇人物那樣。莎翁就像自然一樣，這是我們能給作家或思想家的褒獎。對人生，他只是一路經(jīng)歷著，觀察著，離我們遠去了。
What is Your Recovery Rate? 你的恢復速率是多少？
What is your recovery rate? How long does it take you to recover from ACTions and behaviors that upset you? Minutes? Hours? Days? Weeks? The longer it takes you to recover, the more influence that incident has on your ACTions, and the less able you are to perform to your personal best. In a nutshell, the longer it takes you to recover, the weaker you are and the poorer your performance.
You are well aware that you need to exercise to keep the body fit and, no doubt, accept that a reasonable measure of health is the speed in which your heart and respiratory system recovers after exercise. Likewise the faster you let go of an issue that upsets you, the faster you return to an equilibrium, the healthier you will be. The best example of this behavior is found with professional sportspeople. They know that the faster they can forget an incident or missd opportunity and get on with the game, the better their performance. In fACT, most measure the time it takes them to overcome and forget an incident in a game and most reckon a recovery rate of 30 seconds is too long!
Imagine yourself to be an actor in a play on the stage. Your aim is to play your part to the best of your ability. You have been given a scrit and at the end of each sentence is a ful stop. Each time you get to the end of the sentence you start a new one and although the next sentence is related to the last it is not affected by it. Your job is to deliver each sentence to the best of your ability.
Don’t live your life in the past! Learn to live in the present, to overcome the past. Stop the past from influencing your daily life. Don’t allow thoughts of the past to reduce your personal best. Stop the past from interfering with your life. Learn to recover quickly.
Remember: Rome wasn’t built in a day. Reflect on your recovery rate each day. Every day before you go to bed, look at your proGREss. Don’t lie in bed saying to you, “I did that wrong.” “I should have done better there.” No. look at your day and note when you made an effort to place a full stop after an incident. This is a success. You are taking control of your life. Remember this is a step by step process. This is not a make-over. You are undertaking real change here. Your aim: reduce the time spent in recovery.
The way forward?
Live in the present. Not in the precedent.
譯文：
你的恢復速率是多少？
你的恢復速率是多少？你需要多長時間才能從讓你煩惱的行為中恢復？幾分鐘？幾小時？幾天？幾星期？你需要的恢復時間越長，那個事件對你的影響越大，你也就越不能做到。簡言之，你的恢復時間越長，你就越軟弱，你的表現(xiàn)也就越差勁。
你充分意識到，要保持身體健康你需要鍛煉，并且你無疑會接受，你的心臟和呼吸系統(tǒng)在鍛煉后的恢復速度是衡量健康的一個合理尺度。同樣，你越快擺脫使你煩惱的問題，越快恢復平靜，你就越健康。此類行為的典范是專業(yè)運動員。他們知道，越快忘記一件事或失去的機會而好好比賽，他們的發(fā)揮就越好。實際上，大多數(shù)運動員會佰自己克服并忘記比賽中一個事件所需的時間，而且大多數(shù)人都認為30秒的恢復時間太長了！
想象自己是一位站在舞臺上的戲劇賞。你的目標是盡全力扮演好你的角色。你已經(jīng)拿到了劇本，而劇本中的每句話都以句號結尾。每次你念到一個句子的末尾，你就會開始一個新的句子。盡管下一句和上一句有關聯(lián)，但并不受它的影響。你的工作是盡力說好每句臺詞。
不要生活在過去！要學會生活在現(xiàn)在，學會克服過去；不要讓過去影響你的日常生活；不要讓過去的思想妨礙你做到；不要讓過去干擾你的生活；學會快速恢復。
記住，羅馬不是一日建成的。每天都反思自己的恢復速率；每天上床睡覺前，都看看自己的進步；不要躺在床上對自己說：“我那個做錯了?！薄拔覒撟龅礁谩！辈灰菢幼觯换叵胱约旱囊惶?，并注意努力給某個事件畫上句號的時刻。這就是一個成功，你在控制自己的生活。記住這是一個循序漸進的過程。這不是簡單的修修補補。你正在進行的是真正的改變，你的目標是減少用在恢復上的時間。
將來該怎么做呢？
生活在現(xiàn)在，而不是從前。
