Success and Happiness

Guidance for Reciting

In this often-unhappy modern world,ever-unsatisfied people tend to simplify or vulgarize the criterion of success. Just as Anthony Robbins said,however,“It is not what we get,but who we become,what we contribute…that gives meaning to our lives.”

Part of being a successful person is remembering others and how everyone may thrive from your actions and ideas. True happiness and self-satisfaction are not measured by material possessions. It is rather the way you influence others and how you develop from your accomplishments,which makes your life significant.

成功与幸福

诵读导言

在这个物欲横流、但总不尽如人意的现代社会里,人们往往把成功的标准单一化、庸俗化。但正如Anthony Robbins所说,“不是我们得到什么样的东西,而是我们变得怎么样,作出了多大贡献使我们的生活有了意义。”

功人士,要做到心中有他人,用行动和思想激励他人。真正的快乐和满足不在于物质财富的多少,而在于用什么样的方式去影响别人,以及怎样在取得辉煌的成就后继续前进。
