彼岸無盡頭知足才長樂雙語散文

　　Many people believe that they will be happy once they arrive at some specific goal they set for themselves. However, more often than not, once you arrive " there" you will still feel dissatisfied, and move your " there" vision to yet another point in the future. By always chasing after another "there," you are never really appreciating what you already have right "here." It is important for human beings to keep soberminded about the age-old drive to look beyond the place where you now stand. On one hand, your life is enhanced by your dreams and aspirations. On the other hand, these drives can pull you farther and farther from your enjoyment of your life right now. By learning the lessons of gratitude and abundance, you can bring yourself closer to fulfilling the challenge of living in the present.

　　許多人都相信，一旦他們達到了自己所設定的某個特定目標，他們就會開心、快樂。然而事實往往是，當你到達彼岸時，你還是不知足、不滿意，而且又有了新的彼岸--新的幻想和憧憬。由于你總是疲于追逐一個又一個的彼岸，你從未真正欣賞、珍惜你已經(jīng)擁有的一切。不安于現(xiàn)狀的欲望人皆有之，由來已久，但重要的是要對它保持清醒的頭腦。一方面，你的生活因為夢想和渴望而更加精彩。另一方面，這些欲望又使你越來越不懂得珍惜和享受現(xiàn)在擁有的生活。假如你能懂得感恩，學會知足，你就接近實現(xiàn)生活在現(xiàn)實中提出的要求。
