After I gave a talk on the subject of happiness, a woman in the audience stood up and said, “I wish my husband had come.” “Much as I loved him,” she explained, “it wasn’t easy being married to someone so unhappy.” This woman enabled me to put into words what I had been searching for—altruistic, as well as the personal, reasons for taking happiness seriously. I told her that each of us owes it to our spouse, our children, and our friends to be as happy as we can.

I was not a particularly happy child, and like most teenagers, I took pleasure in my anguish. One day, however, it occurred to me that I was taking the easy way out. Anyone could be unhappy; it took no courage and effort. True achievement lay in struggling to be happy. The notion that we have to work at happiness comes as news to many people. We assume it's a feeling that comes as a result of good things that just happen to us, things over which we have little or no control. But the opposite is true: happiness is largely under our control. It is a battle to be fought and not a feeling to be awaited. To achieve a happy life, it's necessary to overcome some stumbling blocks.

We all know people who have had a relatively easy life yet are essentially unhappy. And we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy. The first secret is gratitude. All happy people are grateful. Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to complain, but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.

試題答案：

在我做了一場(chǎng)以快樂為主題的報(bào)告之后，一位女士聽眾站起來說：“要是我丈夫也能來聽報(bào)告就好了?！彼忉屨f：“雖然我很愛他，可是同一個(gè)不快樂的人做夫妻真不是件容易的事情?！边@位女士用語言表達(dá)出了我一直在探索的一個(gè)道理——認(rèn)真對(duì)待快樂，即可利己，也有利于他人。我告訴她，為了我們的配偶、孩子和朋友，我們每個(gè)人都應(yīng)盡可能快樂。

以前，我像大多數(shù)十幾歲的少年一樣，并不是一個(gè)特別快樂的孩子，經(jīng)常在苦中求樂。然而，有一天，我突然意識(shí)到，我是在貪圖省事。任何人都可以不開心，這不需要勇氣和努力。真正的成就在于努力奮斗去獲得快樂。對(duì)許多人來說，我們必須努力去正確快樂這一概念是一件新鮮事。我們以為，快樂是一種感覺，是我們碰到好事的結(jié)果，我們很難掌控它。然而事實(shí)恰好相反，在很大程度上我們可以控制快樂。這是一場(chǎng)需要為之拼搏，而不是坐等。為了實(shí)現(xiàn)快樂的人生，我們需要克服一些障礙。

眾所周知，生活相對(duì)簡(jiǎn)單的人基本上并不快樂。而有一些人，他們經(jīng)歷了巨大的痛苦卻往往仍然是快樂的。第一大秘訣就是感恩。所有快樂的人都懷有感恩的心。沒有感恩之心的人不可能快樂。我們往往認(rèn)為，不快樂會(huì)導(dǎo)致人們抱怨。但事實(shí)卻是抱怨讓人變得不快樂。
