Raw Text (Chinese / Pinyin / English)
Chinese

什么是幸福? 有的人认为,工资高、能赚钱就是幸福;有的人认为,心情放松、身体健康才是幸福;也有人认为,能帮助别人就是一种幸福。 还有人说,小时候幸福是一件东西,比如一块橡皮、一块糖,得到了就很幸福;长大后幸福是一种态度,生活的态度决定了我们幸福感的高低。 那怎样才算是真正的幸福? 其实,幸福并没有一个标准答案,每个人对幸福都有不同的理解。 不管你认为幸福是什么,只要你用心去找,就一定能发现它。

English

What is happiness? Some people think that a high salary and being able to make money is happiness; some people think that a relaxed mood and good health are happiness; others think that being able to help others is a kind of happiness. Some people also say that, when we were little, happiness was a thing, like an eraser or a piece of candy; once we got it, we were very happy; after we grow up, happiness is an attitude, and our attitude toward life determines how strong our sense of happiness is. So what counts as true happiness? Actually, there isn’t a standard answer to happiness; everyone has a different understanding of happiness. No matter what you think happiness is, as long as you look for it with your heart, you will definitely find it.
