ordinary happpiness

　　good morning everyone:

　　as we all know, happiness is something that every person is chasing. i always try my best to find out what is the true meaning of happiness. and i think i got it last week.

　　it was an ordinary saturday morning. i felt a little tired because of the preparation for the mid-term exams. it was not long before my mother came in with a large bunch of white roses picked from the seller’s gardon. during the next few minutes, we were both busy putting them into a big cley case. looking at the flowers, i found the dark sitting room became bright, so did my mood, just like a person gets some fresh air when he feels dizzy. all the feeling of boredom flew away.

　　then i remember a poem named “l(fā)ife could be worse”, which said:” for the weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means i have been capable of working hard. for my alarm that goes of in the early hours, because it means i am alive. and finally, for too much e-mail, because it means i have friends who are thinking of me. “i learnt that happiness is not the diamond in a necklace, nor a dream far away, it’s just your attitude towards life.

　　if you realize it, a simple cup of cola with ice can bring you a cool summer, for happiness is so ordinary that it’s right in the palm of your hand.

　　thank you!

　　平凡的幸福

　　各位早上好：

　　我們都知道，幸福是每個(gè)人都在追尋的東西。我也常常努力尋找幸福的真正含義。然而在上個(gè)星期，我想我已經(jīng)找到了。

　　這只是一個(gè)平凡的星期六早晨，我正在為準(zhǔn)備下周的期中考試而“焦頭爛額”。沒(méi)過(guò)多久，媽媽便捧了一大束白玫瑰進(jìn)來(lái)，這些都是花匠從花園里剛剛摘下的新鮮玫瑰。于是我們忙碌幾分鐘，把它們插入一個(gè)大瓷花瓶中。看著這些花，我覺(jué)得原本陰沉的客廳變得明亮了許多，我的心情也豁然開(kāi)朗，像是一個(gè)煩悶的人呼吸到了新鮮空氣。所有乏味的感覺(jué)都拋在九霄云外。

　　于是，我想起了一首名為“讓生活換一種風(fēng)景”的詩(shī)，上面寫(xiě)道：“一天下來(lái)腰酸背疼——因?yàn)槲矣心芰η趭^工作。鬧鐘清晨就響——那意味著我還活著。還有就是電子郵件爆滿了——因?yàn)橛羞@么多朋友在惦記著我呢。”我察覺(jué)到，幸福并不是項(xiàng)鏈上的鉆石，也不是遙不可及的夢(mèng)，它不過(guò)是你對(duì)生命的態(tài)度。

　　如果你能意識(shí)到這點(diǎn)，那么一杯加冰的可樂(lè)都可以帶給你一個(gè)夏天的清涼，因?yàn)樾腋Ｈ绱似椒玻驮谀愕恼菩睦铩?/p>
