Many people think that when they become rich and successful,happine ss will naturally follow.Let me tell you that nothing is further from t he truth.The world is full of very rich people who are as miserable as if they were living in hell.We have read stories about movie stars who committed suicide or died from drugs.Quite clearly,money is not the on ly answer to all problems.
Wealth obtained through dishonest means does not bring happiness.Lo ttery winnings do not bring happiness.Gamble winnings do not bring happ iness.To my mind,the secret to happiness lies in your successful work,in your contribution towards others'happiness and in your wealth you ha ve earned through your own honest effort.If you obtain wealth through l uck or dishonest means,you will know that it is ill earned money.If yo u get your money by taking advantage of others or by hurting others,you will not be happy with it.You will think you are a base person.
Long-term happiness is based on honesty,productive work,contributi on,and self-esteem.Happiness is not an end;it is a process.It is a c ontinuous process of honest,productive work which makes a real contribu tion to others and makes you feel you are a useful,worthy person.As Dr.Wayne wrote,"There is no way to happiness.Happiness is the way." The re is no use saying "Some day when I achieve these goals,when I get a c ar,build a house and own my own business,then I will be really happy".Life just does not work that way.If you wait for certain things to happ en and depend on external circumstances of life to make you happy,you w ill always feel unfulfilled.There will always be something missing.
很多人認為，擁有財富與聲望之時，便是幸福到來之際。我得告訴你，事實並非如此。這個世界，富有卻痛苦得如同生活在地獄的人比比皆是。關於電影明星自殺或吸毒致死的報道，我們不是沒有見過。毫無疑問，金錢並非解決全部問題的唯一辦法。
不義之財無法帶來幸福。彩票中獎不能帶來幸福。賭博所得不可能帶來幸福。在我看來，幸福的秘訣在於工作卓有成就，在於對他人的幸福有所貢獻，在於誠實致富。憑運氣或靠欺Æ得來的錢財是不義之財。利用他人或傷害他人得來的錢財，你不會樂於接受，你會覺得自己自私而卑鄙。
建立在誠實正直、卓有成效的工作、貢獻和自尊的基礎上的幸福才會長久。幸福不是終點，而是一個過程。這個過程需要連續不斷的誠實正直和卓有成效的工作。它讓你真正有益於他人，讓你意識到自身的價值。正如韋恩博士所說：“沒有通向幸福的路，幸福本身就是路。”“有朝一日，我實現了自己的目標，有車有房，擁有自己的事業，那麽我就會幸福。”——這種說法毫無意義。生活不會是這樣的。若是等到某些東西的出現，依賴外部環境的改變，你才感到幸福，那你永遠若有所失，總會錯過某些東西。
