When I was small, my parents always told me that I must study hard, so that I would make a lot of money and could live a happy life. To my parents, they think happiness means¹ the bright future and money. But now as I grow up, I keep thinking about what is happiness, my recognition² about happiness is very different from my parents’.

在我还小的时候，我的父母总是告诉我要努力学习，这样才能挣很多钱，过上幸福的生活。对于我的父母来说，他们认为幸福意味着美好的未来和拥有钱。但是如今随着我长大，我一直在思索着什么是幸福，我对幸福的认识和父母的很不一样。

In my eye, the meaning of happiness is very simple, it could be the small things which makes me satisfied³. When I make programs in my study, I make my goal come true, I am so proud of myself, it is a happy moment for me. When I stay with my family, I talk to them and they are willing⁴ to listen to my words, we communicate happily, I am so happy about it. Well, happiness is such easy for me to touch, because I am so easy to be satisfied.

在我的眼里，幸福的意义是很简单的，它可以是让我感到满足的很小事情。当我在学习上进步了，我让自己的目标实现了，为自己感到自豪，这对于我来说也是幸福的时刻。当我和家人在一起，和他们聊天，他们也在聆听我的话，我们愉快地交流着，我为此感到幸福。是的，幸福对于我来说是如此简单就可以触摸到，因为我很容易就感到满足。

If people tell me that they don’t feel happy, I would say that they want too many things and never satisfied with the things they have. The true happiness is to have less desire.

如果人们告诉我他们不幸福，我会说他们想要的东西太多了，从来不对自己拥有的东西感到满足。真正的幸福就是少点欲望。
