现在的家庭，很多人都在寻找着所谓的幸福生活，抱怨身边的人不能给予自己幸福，始终抱着一个不切实际的梦想，甚至有的终生都在寻找幸福，却不知道其实幸福就在身边。
记得诺贝尔文学奖得主萧伯纳说：“此时此刻在地球上，约有两万个人适合当你的人生伴侣，就看你先遇到哪一个，如果在第二个理想伴侣出现之前，你已经跟前一个人发展出相知相惜、互相信赖的深层关系，那后者就会变成你的好朋友，但是若你跟前一个人没有培养出深层关系，感情就容易动摇、变心，直到你与这些理想伴侣候选人的其中一位拥有稳固的深情，才是幸福的开始，漂泊的结束。”
爱上一个人不需要靠努力，只需要靠际遇，是上天的安排，但是“持续地爱一个人”就要靠自身努力了，在爱情的经营中，顺畅运转的要素就是沟通、体谅、包容与自制(面临诱惑有所自制)。有许多人总是为际遇所迷惑与苦恼，意念不停、欲念不断、追逐不歇，而忘了培养经营感情的能力才是幸福的关键。
缘分就是说-世界上的人虽多，但在下雨的深夜陪你回家的，实际上只有一个。
幸福的人善于忘记自己给过别人什么，却永远记得别人给过自己什么。
寻找幸福还不如好好用心经营幸福，好好珍惜现在所拥有的一切，有些东西失去了是永远也找不回来的。其实幸福就在你身边！

Managing Happiness Is Better Than Pursuing It
Nowadays, a lot of people are seeking for the so-called happy life, complaining to those around about their unability to create happiness. They have been cherishing an unrealistic dream, some even pursuing happiness in their lifetime but failing to know it is just all around.
Bernard Shaw, a winner of Nobel Prize in Literature, has said, "Just at this moment on the earth, there are about 20,000 people suitable for you to marry, and it makes difference which one you meet first. If with the first one you have developed an intimate relationship of knowing, caring, trusting each other before the second one shows up, then the latter will become your good friend. But if you haven't developed a deep relationship with the former, it is easy for you to shake and change heart. Happiness won't start and vagrancy won't end until you have a stable relationship with one candidate of these ideal mates."
It doesn’t take efforts to fall in love with a person, but it takes opportunities, which is the arrangement of God. However, if you want to love a person for ever, you need to make efforts. In the process of managing love, it is communication, consideration, forgiveness and self-discipline (the self-restraint that when faced with temptation) that makes up the elements of everlasting love. Many people are confused and obsessed with opportunities, constant desire and pursuit, ignoring that the key to happiness is the ability to cultivate and manage feelings.
What fate means is -- among so many people in the world, there is only one who accompanies you home late on a rainly night.
A happy person is good at forgetting what he has given others but keeps in mind what others have given him.
Managing happiness is better than seeking it. Cherish everything that you have owned, for something is never found again once lost. Happiness is just all around.
