是誰偷走了中國人的幸福大綱
In Denmark, happiness comes from equality; in Singapore,happiness comes from the rule of law; in the slums of Calcutta, India, happiness comes from the hearts of people that depends on each other.
丹麥人的幸福感源於平等；新加坡人的幸福感源於法律；印度加爾各答貧民窟的人的幸福感源於相互依靠彼此的心。
It is not difficult to see, whether a personis happy or not, largely depends on two aspects. One is external, that is thesocial environment we live in; the other is internal, that is our personalattitude to life. Today, we (Chinese people) are not happy, also can beanalyzed in several aspects. 不難發現，一個人幸福與否，更多地取決於這兩個方面：一個是外部的，即我們居住的社會大環境；另一個是內部的，即我們自己對待生活得態度。現在我們中國人感到不幸福，也可以分析爲以下幾個方面。
1. Lack of faith (beliefs) 1. 缺乏信念。
Most people do not know what the expectationsare in one's whole life, simply put it, you do not know what you ucius ate coarse rice, drank water, didn't even have pillows when sleepingand used his arms as pillows, but Confucius said, “Happiness is within”; Hesaid, “A basket of cooked rice, a ladle of water, living in the ghetto alley”,others might think this is an unbearable life, but Confucius was able to “keephis happiness”. Why? Because he knew what he is pursuing in this life. 許多人都不知道他人生中最期待的是什麼，僅僅放下，你不知道你想要什麼。孔子吃糙米喝水，甚至睡覺都沒有枕頭，而僅僅以手臂爲枕，但孔夫子說，“樂亦在其中矣”；他說：“飯疏食，飲水，曲肱而枕之”，其他人可能認爲這是不能忍受的生活，但孔子卻能“保持幸福”。爲什麼呢？因爲他知道他追求的就是這種生活。
2. Always comparing 2. 老是比較。
Western saying goes, Whether a person isfortunate or not, happy or not, does not depend on how big of accomplishmenthe/she has achieved, but from the way how the neighbors look at them. When whatwe are pursuing is not happiness, but to be happier than others, then happinesswill be even further away from us. 西方諺語說，一個人是否幸運，是否快樂，不取決於他取得了多大的成就，而是他的鄰居怎麼看他。一旦我們追求的不是如何幸福，而是怎麼比別人幸福時，幸福反而會更加遠離我們。
3. Living in happiness without realizing it 3. 生在福中不知福。
If a light has been constantly lit, you willnot pay attention to it, but if it is brighter and darker at times, or if it ison and off at times, you will notice. Similarly, sometimes we are envied byothers, but we hardly notice it. Only if one day we loss that, then we willrealize. 如果燈被點亮，你就不會去注意它，如果它時亮時暗或者時關時開，你就會注意到它。同樣道理，有時我們被別人豔羨，我們不大發覺。可一旦某天失去了，我們就會察覺。
4. Not moved by beautiful things 4. 缺乏發現美的眼睛。
"The spring wind is so selfless, not askingfor anything in return but blossomed millions of flowers." We may not have theability to create beauty, but have we been appreciating the beauty of nature,or the beautiful things created by others? We often ignore and unaware of thenatural beauty, artistic beauty, spiritual beauty and many beautiful things inlife around us. “春風如此無私，不問索取，卻使得遍地花開。”我們可能不能創造美，但可以欣賞自然美，或者其他人創造的美。我們常常忽視或不瞭解自然之美、藝術之美，精神之美以及一切我們身邊美好的事物。
5. Do not know how to give 5. 不知奉獻。
Zhang Shangying from Song dynasty said,"Nothing is happier than being happy of doing good deeds", only a person whoknows how to give rather than just take can be truly happy. Charity is not aprivilege of the rich. Donating millions to disaster relief is charity, give astranger a smile is also charity. 宋朝的張商英曾說，“沒有比做好事更快樂的了。”只有當一個人懂得給予而不是一味索取的時候纔會感到真正的快樂。慈善不是富人的特權。捐獻幾百萬救災是慈善，給陌生人個微笑也是慈善。6. Not being content 6. 不知足。
How much does a person need to be satisfied?Never enough! 一個人什麼時候才能滿足？永遠不會滿足。
When you are not happy because you don't haveshoes, have you noticed those who do not have feet? Contentment bringshappiness. 當你不滿足是因爲你沒有一雙鞋的時候，你注意到有些人沒有穿鞋的腳了嗎？知足常樂。
