　　The Joy of Living--生活的樂趣

　　Joy in living comes from having fine emotions，trusting them，giving them the freedom of a bird in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose，or put on from the outside a mask. People who have this joy don‘t need to talk about it，they radiate it. They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight into other lives as nature as a bird sings.

　　生活的樂趣來源於良好的情緒，信賴這些情緒，並任由它們如鳥兒高飛於天空般的自由自在。生活的樂趣是無法靠姿態擺出來的，也無法用帶上一張面具來偽裝。擁有這種樂趣的人們無需掛在嘴上，他們自然會煥發出歡樂的氣息。他們自己生活在快樂當中，也將這樣的快樂自然而然的感染著他人，猶如是鳥兒就必將歌唱。

　　We can never get it from working for it directly. It comes，like happiness，to those who are aiming at something higher. It‘s a byproduct of great，simple living. The joy of living comes from what we put into our living，not from what we seek to get from it.

　　直接追求生活的樂趣卻只會使樂趣遠離我們，它與幸福一樣青睞胸有大志的人。生活過的高雅，簡單就會產生出樂趣。它是我們對生活的投入，而非所求。

　　一封絕妙的情書

　　There once lived a lad who was deeply in love with a girl，but disliked by the girl‘s father，who didn’t want to see any further development of their love. The lad was eager to write to the girl，yet he was quite sure that the father would read it first. So he wrote such a letter to the girl：

　　My love for you I once expressed

　　no longer lasts，instead，my distaste for you

　　is growing with each passing day. Next time I see you，

　　I even won‘t like that look yours.

　　I‘ll do nothing but

　　look away from you. You can never expect I‘ll

　　marry you. The last chat we had

　　was so dull and dry that you shouldn‘t think it

　　made me eager to see you again.

　　If we get married，I firmly believe I‘ll

　　live a hard life，I can never

　　live happily with you，I‘ll devote myself

　　but not

　　to you. No one else is more

　　harsh and selfish and least

　　solicitous and considerate than you.

　　I sincerely want to let you know

　　what I said is true. Please do me a favor by

　　ending our relations and refrain from

　　writing me a reply. Your letter is always full of

　　things which displease me. You have no

　　sincere care for me. So long!Please believe

　　I don‘t love you any longer. Don’t think

　　I still have a love of you!

　　Having read the letter，the father felt relieved and gave it to his daughter with a light heart.

　　The girl also felt quite pleased after she read it carefully，her lad still had a deep love for her.

　　Do you know why?In fact，she felt very sad when she read the letter for the first time. But she read it for a few more times and，at last，she found the key– only every other line should be read，that is the first line，the third，the fifth…and so on to the end.

　　一個小夥子非常愛一位姑娘，但姑娘的父親卻不喜歡他，也不讓他們的愛情發展下去。小夥子很想給姑娘寫封情書，然而他知道姑娘的父親會先看，於是他給姑娘寫了這樣一封信：

　　我對你表達過的愛已經消逝。我對你的厭惡與日俱增。當我看到你時我甚至不喜歡你的那副樣子。

　　我想做的一件事就是把目光移往別處，我永遠不會和你結婚。我們的最近一次談話枯燥乏味，因此無法使我渴望再與你想見。

　　假如我們結婚，我深信我將生活得非常艱難，我也無法愉快地和你生活在一起，我要把我的心奉獻出來，但決不是奉獻給你。沒有人能比你更苛求和自私，也沒有人比你更關心我幫助我。

　　我真摯地要你明白，我講的是真話，請你助我一臂之力結束我們之間的關係，別試圖答覆此信，你的信充滿著使我興趣索然的事情，懷有對我的真誠關心。再見，請相信我並不喜歡你，請你不要以為我仍然愛著你!

　　姑娘的父親這封信以後，非常高興地把信給了姑娘。姑娘看罷信也非常快樂，小夥子依然愛著她。你知道她為什麼高興嗎?其實，她初讀時非常憂傷，但她怎麼也不相信那是他的真心話，於是她又默讀了幾遍，終於，她清楚了該怎樣讀法。只能一、三、五行如此類推，直到信的結尾。

　　Breaking the Silence

　　“How did you do it，Dad?How have you managed to not take a drink for almost 20 years?”It took me almost 20 years to have the courage to even ask my father this very personal question. When Dad first quit drinking，the whole family was on pins and needles every time he got into a situation that，in the past，would have started him drinking again. For a few years we were afraid to bring it up for fear the drinking would begin again.

　　“I had this little poem that I would recite to myself at least four to five times a day，”was Dad‘s reply to my 18-year-old unasked question.“The words were an instant relief and constant reminder to me that things were never so tough that I could not handle them，”Dad said. And then he shared the poem with me. The poem’s simple，yet profound words immediately became part of my daily routine as well.

　　About a month after this talk with my father，I received a gift in the mail from a friend of mine. It was a book of daily affirmations with one affirmation listed for each day of the year.

　　It has been my experience that when you get something with days of the year on it，you automatically turn to the page that lists your own birthday.

　　I hurriedly opened the book to November 10 to see what words of wisdom this book had in store for me. I did a double-take and tears of disbelief and appreciation rolled down my face. There，on my birthday，was the exact same poem that had helped my father for all these years!It is called the Serenity Prayer：
