Many people think that when they become rich and successful，happiness will naturally follow。Let me tell you that nothing is further from the truth。The world is full of very rich peoplewho are as miserable as if they were living in hell。We have read stories about movie stars who committed suicide or died from drugs。Quite clearly， money is not the only answer to all problems。Wealth obtained through dishonest means does not bring happiness。Lottery winnings do not bring happiness。Gamble winnings do not bring happiness。To my mind， the secret to happiness lies in your successful work，There is no use sayingin your contribution towards others’ happinessand in your wealth you have earned through your own honest effort。If you obtain wealth through luck or dishonest means，you will know that it is ill earned money。If you get your money by taking advantage of others or by hurting others，you will not be happy with it。You will think you are a base person。Long—term happiness is based on honesty， productive work， contribution， and self—esteem。Happiness is not an end； it is a process。It is a continuous process of honest， productive workwhich makes a real contribution to othersand makes you feel you are a useful， worthy person。As Dr。 Wayne wrote， “There is no way to happiness。 Happiness is the way。”There is no use saying“Some day when I achieve these goals，when I get a car， build a house and own my own business，then I will be really happy。”life just does not work that way。If you wait for certain things to happenand depend on external circumstances of life to make you happy，you will always feel unfulfilled。There will always be something missing。
有關大學英語四級晨讀美文【2】To other Europeans， the best known quality of the British，and in particular of the English， is “reserved”。A reserved person is one who does not talk very much to strangers，does not show much emotion， and seldom gets excited。It is difficult to get to know a reserved person：he never tells you anything about himself，and you may work with him for years without ever knowing where he lives，how many children he has， and what his interests are。English people tend to be like that。Closely related to English reserve is English modesty。Within their hearts， the English are perhaps no less conceited than anybody else，but in their relations with others they value at least a show of modesty。Self－praise is felt to be impolite。If a person is， let us say，very good at tennis and someone asks him if he is a good player，he will seldom reply “Yes，”because people will think him conceited。He will probably give an answer like，“I’m not bad，” or “I think I’m very good，” or “Well， I’m very keen on tennis。”Even if he had managed to reach the finals in last year’s local championships，he would say it in such a way as to suggest that it was only due to a piece of good luck。Since reserve and modesty are part of his own nature，the typical English tends to expect them in others。He secretly looks down on more excitable nations，and likes to think of himself as more reliable than they are。He doesn’t trust big promises and open shows of feelings，especially if they are expressed in flowery language。He doesn’t trust self－praise of any kind。This applies not only to what other people may tell him about themselves orally，but to the letters they may write to him。To those who are fond of flowery expressions，the Englishman may appear uncomfortably cold。
