In Jerusalem, I met such a young man, who was extraordinarily optimistic, so I asked him what the secret of his happiness was. He said to me, "At the age of 11, I accidentally received a thing.

"That day I rode a bicycle in the street when a gust of wind blew me to the center of the street. An approaching truck from the opposite direction knocked me down and rolled my leg.

"When the blood kept oozing, I realized I would live for the rest of my lifetime with only one leg. I was extremely frustrated, but I quickly realized my sadness and frustration couldn't exchange my lost leg, so I decided that I could never waste my time in sorrow and grief in the future.

"When my parents rushed to the hospital, they were both shocked and saddened.

"I told them, 'I have adapted to all this. It's time for you to adapt to the situation that I spare one leg.'

"From then on, seeing my friends feel sad and dismayed at some trifles, I will tell them to smile on life and enjoy life."

At the age of 11, this young man has understood that it is a waste to put time and energy on things that have lost, whereas the secret of happiness is to enjoy and cherish what we have now owned.

我曾在耶路撒冷遇到这样一个年轻人,他有着非同寻常的快乐性格,因此我问他幸福的秘密是什么,他对我说:“11岁时,我意外地收到一样东西。

“那天,我在街上骑着自行车,一阵大风把我吹到街中央,这时迎面驶来一辆大货车,把我撞倒在地,轧伤了我的一条腿。

“血不断地流,那时我意识到,我的下半生将会在只有一条腿的情况下度过,当时我沮丧万分,但我很快意识到,悲伤沮丧都无法换回失去的那条腿。因此,我决定,以后绝不能把时间浪费在悲伤、难过中。

我父母赶到医院时,他们既惊愕又难过。

“我对他们说:‘我已经适应了这一切,这次轮到你们来适应我只剩下一条腿的境况。’”

“从此以后,看到我的朋友们因一些小事而难过、沮丧时,我都会告诉他们要笑对人生、享受生活。”

这个年轻人11岁时就已经明白,把时间和精力用在已经失去的事物上是一种浪费,而幸福的秘密就是享受并珍惜现在拥有的。
