Good Attitude=100% Happiness

良好的态度= 100 ％幸福

Do you want to know the way to become happy? Don’t be anxious, I will give you a test so that you will find the answer by yourselves.

你想知道快乐的方法吗？不要着急，我会给你一个测试，这样你们自己就能找到答案。

Before you do the test, you may think that hard work or knowledge can make you happy. However, when use the capital letter A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z to replace 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26, you will find that hard work can not make you happy because H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K=8%+1%+18%+4%+23%+15%+18%+11%=98%, which is not 100 percent. What about knowledge? Let’s do the test once again:K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E=11%+14%+15%+23%+12%+5%+4%+7%+5%=96%, which is not 100 percent, either. Then what could make you become rich? Attitude. Attitude is exactly the one that will make you happy because A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E=1%+20%+20%+9%+20%+21%+4%+5%=100%, which is just 100 percent.

在你做这个测试之前，您可能会认为，努力工作或者丰富学识可以使你快乐。然而，当用大写字母ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ，替代数字1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26，你会发现，努力工作并不能使你快乐，因为（hardwork这个单词由H、A、R、D、W、O、R、K8个字母组成）K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E=11%+14%+15%+23%+12%+5%+4%+7%+5%=96%，这并不是百分之百。那么丰富学识呢？让我们再做一个测试：K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E=11%+14%+15%+23%+12%+5%+4%+7%+5%=96%，这也不是百分之百。那么什么可以让你致富？态度。态度就是那个可以使你快乐的因素，因为A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E=1%+20%+20%+9%+20%+21%+4%+5%=100%，正好是百分之百。

　　Have you ever read the book Little Women? If you do, you will agree with me that it is a good example of how attitude is 100% for becoming happy.

你有没有看过《小妇人》这本书？如果你看过，你就会同意这是一个说明态度是快乐源泉的最好例证。

　　Meg was sixteen years old and was very pretty, with large eyes and soft brown hair and white hands. However, she cared so much about the way she looked that she hated to work. She was always thinking of marrying someone rich, and she loved riding in fine carriages, wearing her nice dresses every day without doing anything. Jo, who was fifteen years old, was very tall and thin. Her long dark-red hair was usually pushed up out of the way and she always tried to be a “little woman”. But she didn’t know knowledge was not all things. Beth, at the age of thirteen, was a very shy girl who seemed to live in a happy world of her own. When all her sisters complained about the life, she always worked hard silently. Amy was the youngest of the girls, but she always considered herself to be the most important. She had blue eyes, and yellow hair that curled on to her shoulders.

　　梅格十六岁，很漂亮，有着一双美丽大眼睛、一头柔软的棕色头发和一双白净的手。然而，她在意别人的看法，所以她讨厌工作。她总是想嫁给富人，她喜欢每天不做任何事情就可以乘坐漂亮马车，穿着漂亮衣服。乔十五岁，又瘦又高，她长长的暗红色头发通常是扎得高高的，她一直试图成为一个“小妇人”，但是她不知道丰富学识不是生活的全部。贝丝十三岁，一个生活在她自己的幸福生活中的害羞女孩。当她所有的姐妹们都在抱怨生活的时候，她总是默默地努力。艾米是最年轻的女孩，但她始终认为自己是最重要的。她有一双蓝色的眼睛以及一头金黄色的披肩发。

    There is a saying that is “Three women could become half an sky”. As you could imagine, Mrs March, their mother would pay all her attentions for her little women. She always encouraged her daughter by saying: “we are poor in matter, but we are not poor in heart”. So the four girls decided that they would try hard to be good, never be lazy, selfish and stupid. To fulfill the goal, they would help each other.

俗话说“三个女人能顶半边天” 。正如你所想象的那样，她们的母亲马奇太太将极尽所能地照顾她的四个女儿。她经常鼓励她的女儿们： “虽然我们是穷人，但是我们拥有富有的心”。因此，这四个女孩决定，她们将努力成为不懒惰、不自私、不愚蠢的有用的人。为了完成这一目标，她们会互相帮助。

　　Money isn’t everything. The Laurence boy, who lived next door to the women, had a lot of money, but he always felt poor in their heart. He was feeling lonely since his grandfather kept him in the house whenever the boy was free. He was made to study all the time. The house he lived in seemed to be a lonely, lifeless house as no children playing outside, no motherly face smiling at the windows except the old gentleman and his grandson.

金钱不是一切。住在马奇太太家隔壁的是劳伦斯一家，家里有很多钱，但是劳伦斯家的男孩总觉得自己的内心很贫乏。他感到很孤独，因为房子里只有他和祖父居住，祖父一直要求他好好学习。这个家越来越孤单，没有生命力，因为房子外面没有玩耍的儿童，家里没有母亲脸上的笑容，只有孤单的劳伦斯老先生和他的孙子。

　　When the lonely and the likely get together, it could become a good attitude for life. The rich men and the poor women helped each other. Amy drew the most wonderful pictures and wanted to become a famous painter. One day, her dream came true and her paintings were popular with many people even the rich old man.

当寂寞和希望融合到一起，它就能成为一个良好的生活态度。富有的男人和贫穷的女人互相帮助。艾米画出最精彩的作品，想要成为一个著名的画家。终于有一天，她的梦想实现了，而她的画也深受许多人的推崇，甚至包括富有的老人。

　　However, both Beth and her father got stuck in trouble, they were badly ill. In order to same their lives, Jo’s thick, long hair was cut and sold for money. The other girls even worked harder and took good care of their beloved. It was then that Meg realized how rich she had been in the things which really mattered---love, peace, and good health. Her attitude towards life began to change, which favored more of love, generosity, and hard work instead of money or physical appearance. The four little women changed totally, they cared for each other so much; they were eager to help people and tried to make their home a happy place for people to come. From then on, they led very happy lives. The Laurence who were affected by the little women, changed their attitudes towards life. They talked with people and helped people. As a result, they were much more happy then.

　　但是贝丝和她的父亲就遇到了麻烦，他们得了很严重的疾病。为了使他们的生活和以前一样，乔剪掉她的厚厚的长头发去卖钱，其他女孩子为了照顾好她们所爱的家人，就更加努力的工作。这时，梅格意识到她是多么的富有，因为她一直拥有真正重要的东西---比如爱，和平，健康。她的生活态度开始发生变化，她开始更偏重于付出爱心、慷慨解囊、辛勤工作，而不是金钱或外貌。四个女孩完全改变了，她们互相照顾，渴望帮助别人，使每个来到她们家的人感到幸福。从那时起，她们过着幸福的生活。劳伦斯被她们感动，也改变了她们的人生观。他们与人交流，帮助别人。因此，她们变得更加幸福。

Money is not equal to happiness. There are many examples of rich people being unhappy, just like the Laurence in Little Women. However, if you have a good attitude for life, you will feel that every thing in the world is so beautiful that you enjoy every minute in your life.

金钱不等于幸福。很多例子表明，富有的人并不快乐，就像《小妇人》里的劳伦斯。不过，如果你有一个良好的生活态度，你会觉得世界上的一切是如此美丽，你会享受你生活的每一分钟。
