Happiness is not something that happens. It is not the result of good fortune or random chance. It is not something that money can buy or power command. It depends not on what happens outside of you, but on what happens inside of you.

The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times… The best moments usually occur if a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.
人生中最美好的时刻,不是那些被动、接受、放松的时光……最美好的时刻通常发生在一个人自愿努力去完成一项艰难而有价值的事情时,身体或心灵被拉伸到极限的时候。
