Today, I spent sometime tutoring my daughter Ashley with her Olympic Math homework and suddenly, I found Brian (my son) was sitting next to us doing his homework. Even though it is a small occurrence, however, I am pleased to tell what his sister is doing is having a positive impact on he.  And... I hope that we can all create positive influence on each other. 

 

People when getting mature and older sometime will comment that they wished they could have studied more while few would complain their parents had made them learned too much.  Armed with this experience, I wonder why people will not teach their kids more and will not assist their friends more.  Today the child of a friend of mine promised to me with all "A" in the next semester (by the way she is so smart the has the ability to do so), I am very happy.

 

Happiness does not mean lying on the couch watching TV eating junk food and getting fat and have a short life. My friend told me that perhaps happiness means lying on the couch watching TV easting junk food and not getting fat.  You know he is joking. 

 

The truth is that we already know what happiness is even though some people will have their unique qualification. As human beings, we love to contribute, we love to help and we love to be valued. This is true happiness and this happiness will come from working and sharing.....  Being lazy will produce waste and death... CWD is a common disease. Temporary enjoyment and relaxation is fine but should not be confused with true and long lasting happiness.  We need to share this with our kids and our friends so that they will not have a confused mind.  In order to have happiness, we have to learn to gain a useful skill set. 

 

今天，我花了一些时间教我的女儿Ashley奥林匹克数学题，突然发现我儿子Brain正坐在我们旁边做作业。即使这只是一件小事，我仍可以很高兴地认为，他姐姐所做的事情正对他产生积极地影响。同时，我也希望我们可以彼此产生积极的正面的影响。

 

有时，人们在长大变成熟的时候会说真希望自己可以多学点东西，而很少有人抱怨父母教给他们的东西太多了。在这种经历的指导下，我奇怪为什么人们不教给孩子更多的东西，不给予朋友更多的帮助。今天我一个朋友的孩子答应我下学期拿全“A”（顺便提一下，她很聪明，有能力做得到），我对此很高兴。

 

幸福并不意味着躺在沙发上看电视，吃着垃圾食品变胖从而短寿。我朋友曾跟我说也许幸福意味着躺在沙发上看电视，吃着垃圾食品而不变胖。你知道他在开玩笑哈。

 

事实上，我们都知道幸福是什么，即使一些人有他们独特的定义。作为人类，我们热爱奉献，助人以及实现自身价值。这才是真正的幸福，而这种幸福来自于工作和分享。懒惰只会制造垃圾和死亡。CWD（Chronic Wasting Disease慢性消耗性疾病）是一种很普遍的病。短暂的享受与放松是可以的，但这不应与真正而持久的幸福相混淆。我们应该将这些与我们的孩子和朋友分享，使他们也不至于混淆。为了得到幸福，我们需要通过学习掌握一套有用的技能。
