英語專業(yè)晨讀美文哲理篇:快樂之門

[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [by:] [00:01.11]The Happy Door [00:03.40]Happiness is like a pebble [00:06.91] dropped into a pool to set in motion an ever-widening circle of ripples. [00:11.72]As Stevenson has said, being happy is a duty. [00:15.87]There is no exact definition of the word happiness. [00:18.50]Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons. [00:22.33]The key is not wealth or physical well-being, [00:25.50] since we find beggars, invalids and so-called failures, [00:29.22] who are extremely happy. [00:31.40]Being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend. [00:34.58]But staying happy is an accomplishment, [00:37.20]a triumph of soul and character. [00:39.61] It is not selfish to strive for it. [00:42.13]It is, indeed, a duty to ourselves and others. [00:46.50]Being unhappy is like an infectious disease. [00:50.44]It causes people to shrink away from the sufferer. [00:53.61] He soon finds himself alone, miserable and embittered. [00:58.20] There is, however, a cure so simple as to seem, [01:01.81] at first glance, ridiculous; [01:03.89]if you don't feel happy, pretend to be! It works. [01:08.37] Before long you will find that instead of repelling people, [01:12.09]you attract them. You discover [01:14.17]how deeply rewarding it is to be the center [01:17.23]of wider and wider circles of good will. [01:20.18]Then the make-believe becomes a reality. [01:23.02]You possess the secret of peace of mind, [01:25.87] and can forget yourself in being of service to others. [01:29.26]Being happy, once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit, [01:34.73]opens doors into unimaginable gardens thronged with grateful friends.
