In all affairs it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.

　　Bertrand Russell (1872-1970); Philosopher, Mathematician

　　無論對于什么事情，我們都應(yīng)該時常問問自己，那些我們長久以來想當(dāng)然的東西真的理所應(yīng)當(dāng)嗎。

　　Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies.

　　Albert Clarke

　　在日常生活中，我們必須明白，我們不是因為快樂而感恩，而是因為感恩而快樂。

　　Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

　　Melodie Beattie - Motivational Author

　　感恩，會為你開啟充實生活之門，使我們原本擁有的東西變得更多更充裕。它使抗拒變?yōu)榻邮埽�紊亂變?yōu)橛行�，困惑變�(yōu)槊魑�。它讓簡單的飯菜成為盛宴，一個房間成為家庭，一個陌生人成為朋友。感恩，賦予過去以意義，賦予當(dāng)下以平靜，賦予未來以憧憬。
