03经典背诵
The Happy Door快乐之门
Happiness is like a pebble dropped into a pool to set in motion an ever-widening circle of ripples.As Stevenson has said，being happy is a duty.
There is no exact definition of the word happiness.Happy people are happy for all sorts of reason.The key is not wealth or physical well- being，since we find beggars，invalids and so-called failures that are extremely happy.
Being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend.But staying happy is an accomplishment，a triumph of soul and character.It is not selfish to strive for it.It is，indeed，a duty to us and others.
Being unhappy is like an infectious disease； it causes people to shrink away from the sufferer.He soon finds himself alone，miserable and embittered.There is，however，a cure so simple as to seem，at first glance，ridiculous： if you don't feel happy，pretend to be！
It works.Before long you will find that instead of repelling people，you attract them.You discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the centerof wide circles of good will.Then the make-believe becomes a reality.You possess the secret of peace of mind，and can forget yourself in being of service to others.
Being happy，once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit，opens doors into unimaginable gardens thronged with grateful friend.
快乐就像掉进水池的一个石子，荡起一圈圈的涟漪。正如史蒂文森所说，快乐是一种责任。
快乐这个词没有确切的定义。快乐的人有许多快乐的理由。当他们发现一些乞丐、残疾人和所谓的失败者非常快乐的时候，便明白快乐的关键不是财富和身体健康。
快乐是一种意外的收获。但保持快乐却是种成就，一种精神和性格上的胜利。这不是自私的抢夺。事实上，这是一份我们和他人应尽的责任。
不快乐就像一种传染病。它会导致人们远离患者。他很快发现自己陷入孤独痛苦的境地。然而，有一个简单的治疗方法，乍一看有点荒谬，那就是如果你不快乐，那 么就假装快乐！
这方法很有效。不久后你就会发现你不是排斥别人，而是吸引人。你会发现成为传播正能量的中心是多么有意义。进而伪装便成了事实。你拥有了心灵平静的秘密， 忘我地服务他人。
快乐，一旦当作是一种责任，成为一种习惯，挤满心存感激友人的花园之门便随之打开。
