In this fast-paced modern society, life can be sometimes very stressful.One may get overwhelmed by what's going on. There may be a feeling ofhelplessness and the world's spinning out of control. It's easy to lose hope.However, hope is something can be created with an optimistic state of mind.
Optimism helps to increase hope for several reasons. To begin with, hope issomething appears from our inside world. All of us have capacity to generatehope. This capacity is closely related to optimism. Optimism help us overcomefear, supporting us with great courage and confidence to overcome anydifficulties. In return, it allows us to hold on to hope. Whatever we do orwhatever is done to us, it is always constructive to adopt an optimisticattitude. As the saying goes, smile and the world smiles with you, weep and youweep alone. If you let yourself down, no one can pull you out and the situationcould only go from bad to worse. But as long as you have an optimistic state ofmind, you can have the situation under your control and therefore be morehopeful. Last but not least, God help those who help themselves. We should firstbe optimistic and hopeful can we help ourselves. And then you can get help fromothers. Once you get through the bad situation, hope will eventually beincreased.
在这个快节奏的现代社会中，生活有时很有压力。有的人可能会对正发生的事感到不堪重负。可能会有无助和世界失控的感觉，很容易失去希望。然而，拥有乐观的心境希望是可以创造的东西。
乐观有助于增加希望有几个原因。首先，希望是来自我们内心世界的某种东西。我们每个人都有能力去创造希望。这种能力跟乐观密切相关。乐观帮助我们克服恐惧，用勇气和信心支持我们去克服一切困难。反过来，它使我们紧握希望。不管我们做什么或是我们发生了什么，保持乐观的态度总是有益的。常言道，你微笑世界也会跟着你微笑，你哭泣却只有你一个人在哭泣。如果你让自己失望了，没人能把你拉出来，情况也只会越来越糟。但是，只要你有乐观的心态，你就可以让情况在你的控制之下，因而就更有希望。最后但不是最不要要的一点，自助者天助之。我们只有先保持乐观和希望，我们才能够帮助自己。接着你才能得到别人的帮助。一旦你度过了困难，希望最终会增加的。
it is a commonplace among moralists that you cannot get happiness by pursuing it. this is only true if you pursue it unwisely. gamblers at monte carlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead, but there are other ways of pursuing money, which often succeed. so it is with happiness. if you pursue it by means of drink, you are forgetting the hangover. epicurus pursued it by living only in congenial society and eating only dry bread, supplemented by a little cheese on feast days. his method proved successful in his case, but he was a valetudinarian, and most people would need something more vigorous. for most people, the pursuit of happiness, unless supplemented in various ways, is too abstract and theoretical to be adequate as a personal rule of life. but i think that whatever personal rule of life you may choose it should not, except in rare and heroic cases, be incompatible with happiness. if you look around at the men and women whom you can call happy, you will see that they all have certain things in common.
the most important of these things is an activity which at most gradually builds up something that you are glad to see coming into existence. women who take an instinctive pleasure in their children can get this kind of satisfaction out of bringing up a family. artists and authors and men of science get happiness in this way if their own work seems good to them. but there are many humbler forms of the same kind of pleasure. many men who spend their working life in the city devote their weekends to voluntary and unremunerated toil in their gardens, and when the spring comes, they experience all the joys of having created beauty. the whole subject of happiness has, in my opinion, been treated too solemnly.
it had been thought that man cannot be happy without a theory of life or a religion. perhaps those who have been rendered unhappy by a bad theory may need a better theory to help them to recover, just as you may need a tonic when you have been ill. but when things are normal a man should be healthy without a tonic and happy without a theory. it is the simple things that really matter. if a man delights in his wife and children, has success in work, and finds pleasure in the alternation of day and night, spring and autumn, he will be happy whatever his philosophy may be. if, on the other hand, he finds his wife fateful, his children’s noise unendurable, and the office a nightmare; if in the daytime he longs for night, and at night sighs for the light of day, then what he needs is not a new philosophy but a new regimen--a different diet, or more exercise, or what not. man is an animal, and his happiness depends on his physiology more than he likes to think. this is a humble conclusion, but i cannot make myself disbelieve it. unhappy businessmen, i am convinced, would increase their happiness more by walking six miles every day than by any conceivable change of philosophy.
thangk you.
