《瘋狂英語-原聲版》選取的一首散文。
很美的美音朗讀，你甚至聽到微弱的鼻息的聲音。背景音樂也很好聽，像是歲月的留聲，有一點哀傷。。
I believe I am happy.誠如作者在文中所說，我們抱怨了太多自己的不幸，悲傷似乎有更多的代言人和受眾者。但是不要忽略了和遺忘了，我們應始終相信我們是快樂的，即便有這樣那樣的傷心事。也許，你不認同苦難也是一種財富，但是當承受不幸時，這是唯一合理的解釋。這不是自我謊言，這不是阿Q精神，這——只是最好的，也是唯一的，出路。What pains us trains us. If we can not change the status quo,then why should we be stupidly sad?
I believe I am happy.Or at least I can say, I believe I will be happy.
If you are no happy, I hope after perusing this article ,you will be happy~~~~
I have an unusual statement to make. I am a man who believes he is happy. What makes it unusual is that a man who is happy seldom tells anyone. The unhappy man is more commucative. He is eager to recite what is wrong with the world and he seems to have a talent for gathering a large audience. It is a modern tragedy that despair has so many spokesmen, and hope so few. I believe, therefore, that it is important for a man to announce that he is happy, even though such an announcement is less dramatic and less entertaining than the cries of his pessimistic opposite.
Why do I believe I am happy? Death has deprived me of many whom I loved, dismal failure has followed many of my most earnest efforts, people have disappointed me, I've disappointed them, I've disappointed myself.
From all this evidence, could I not build up a strong case to prove why I am not happy at all? I could, but it would be a false picture; as false as if I were to describe a tree only as it looks in winter. I would be leaving out a list of people I love who have not died. I would be leaving out an acknowledgement of the many successes that have sprouted among my many failure. I would be leaving out the blessing of good health, the joy of walking in the sunshine. All these things are as much a part of my world as the darker worries that shade them.
The conflict of good and bad merges in thick entanglement. You cannot isolate virtue and beauty and success and laughter and keep them all from contact with wickedness and ugliness and failure and weeping. The man who strives for such isolated joy is riding for a fall; he will wind up in isolated gloom. I don't believe anyone can enjoy living in this world unless he can accept its imperfection. He must know and admit that he is imperfect, that all other mortals are imperfect, that it is childish to allow these imperfections to destroy all his hope and all his desire to live.
Nature is older than man and she is still far from perfect. Her summers do not always start promptly on June 21st, her bugs and beetles and other insects often go beyond her obvious intentions, devouring the leaves and buds with which she has adorned her countryside. After the land has remained too dry for too long, she sends relieving rains, but frequently they come in torrents so violent that they do more harm than good.
