One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. So he invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all began to shovel dirt into the well.
一天一個(gè)農(nóng)民的驢掉進(jìn)了井里，它可憐巴巴地叫了幾個(gè)小時(shí)，農(nóng)民努力地想辦法。最終他決定反正這頭驢老了，井也需要填上，這頭驢不值得救了。他就找來所有鄰居幫他，他們開始往井里填土。

At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw.
剛開始，驢明白怎么回事就驚恐地大叫，后來大家驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)它安靜了。幾鏟土下去之后，農(nóng)民朝井下看，嚇了一跳。

With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off!
每鏟土落在背上時(shí)驢都會(huì)把土抖掉，踩上去。很快大家驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)驢到了井邊上跑了！

Moral: Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up.
道理：“生活會(huì)朝你身上扔土，扔各種土。從井中脫困的方法就是把土抖掉，然后踩上去?！?/div>

Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up!
我們遇到的每個(gè)困難都是墊腳石，只要不停下、永遠(yuǎn)不放棄，我們就能從最深的井里脫困！把土抖掉，然后踩上去。

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred.

2. Free your mind from worries.
2.擺脫心中的煩惱。

3. Live simply.

There was an old wise cat and a small kitten in an alleyway. The old cat saw the kitten chasing its tail and asked, “Why are you chasing your tail?”
在一條小巷有一只聰明的老貓和一只小貓，老貓看見小貓追自己的尾巴，問道：“你為什么追自己的尾巴？”

To it the kitten replied, “I’ve been attending cat philosophy school and I have learned that the most important thing for a cat is happiness, and that happiness is located in my tail. Therefore, I am chasing it: and when I catch it, I shall have happiness forever.
”小貓聽了回答：“我上貓咪哲學(xué)學(xué)校，學(xué)到了對(duì)一只貓來說最重要的是幸福，而幸福就在我的尾巴上。所以我在追幸福：一旦我抓住了幸福，就能永遠(yuǎn)幸福了?！?/div>

Laughing, the wise old cat replied, “My son, I wasn’t lucky enough to go to cat philosophy school, but as I’ve gone through life, I too have realized that the most important thing for a cat is happiness, and indeed that it is located in my tail. The difference I’ve found though is that whenever I chase after it, it keeps running away from me, but when I go about my business and live my life, it just seems to follow after me wherever I go.
”聰明的老貓大笑著回答：“我的孩子，我沒你那么幸運(yùn)能上貓咪哲學(xué)學(xué)校，但我經(jīng)歷過生活，我也知道對(duì)一只貓來說最重要的是幸福，其實(shí)它就在我的尾巴上。然而我發(fā)現(xiàn)不同的是，我追它的時(shí)候它總會(huì)跑掉，但我忙自己的事、過自己生活的時(shí)候，好像無論我去哪兒它都會(huì)跟著我。”
