HappinessAlfred D. Souza
For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time to still be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.
This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have. And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time … and remember that time waits for no one…
So stop waiting
until you finish school,
until you go back to school,
until you lose ten pounds,
until you gain ten pounds,
until you have kids,
until your kids leave the house,
until you start work,
until you retire,
until you get married,
until you get divorced,
until Friday night,
until Sunday morning,
until you get a new car or home,
until your car or home is paid off,
until spring,
until summer,
until fall,
until winter,
until you are off welfare,
until the first or fifteenth,
until your song comes on,
until you've had a drink,
until you've sobered up,
until you die,
until you are born again
to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy…
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

快樂AlfredDSouza(神父)
要快樂就是現在，別再等待，沒有通往快樂的道路。
因為快樂本身就是道路，所以珍惜你的每一刻。
尤其要更加珍惜那些可以與別人共度過的時光。
因為那些特別的人讓你願意與他們共度那些時光記得。
別停下去等待時間不會為了任何人而等待，別再等，
別再等待下周末，你可以狂舞放鬆，
別再等到春夏秋冬，別再等待到遇見對的人才結婚
別再等待到你的死亡 別再等待你的重生
別等到那時候才知道要快樂，
沒有比現在更好的時機
快樂不是目的地
而是旅程
