💟《Seeing Happiness》💟
A painter sat in his study and pondered for a long time, and finally he picked up a pen and wrote:
1. Last year, I had surgery due to a bone spur pressing on a nerve. This operation left me stuck in bed for days.
2. That same year, I turned 65 and had to leave the company I had worked for for 30 years, my favorite job.
3. In the same year, I experienced the pain of my mother's death.
4. In the same year, my son was seriously injured in a car accident. He had to lie in a hospital bed for days. A crashed car is a huge loss.
Finally he wrote: Alas! What a terrible year!
The writer wife walks into the study to find her pensive husband looking sad. She read the writing on the paper from his back, left the room silently, and after a while she returned with another piece of paper, which she placed next to her husband's manuscript.
It says:
1. Last year, I finally got rid of the bone spur that had been in pain for years.
2. In the same year, I was 65 years old, healthy and retired. Now, I can schedule my own time and create at my own leisure.
3. In the same year, my mother was 90 years old. She didn't depend on anyone and was not sick. She returned to heaven peacefully.
4. In the same year, God gave my son a new life. My car was wrecked, but my son survived without any disability.
Finally she wrote: Last year was a year of great grace from God!
Interpretation:
1. The same event, two completely different viewpoints!
2. We are not grateful for happiness, but gratitude makes us happy.
3. There are always many people and things to be thankful for in life!
4. Don't look at what you don't have, but look at what you have.
When we are grateful for everything we have, we will see true happiness!
💟《看见幸福》💟
一位画家坐在书房，沉思许久，终于他拿起笔写下：
1. 去年，我因骨刺压迫到神经而动了手术。这个手术让我被困在床上好几天。
2. 同年，我65 岁，不得不离开我工作了30年的公司，那是我最喜爱的工作。
3. 同年，我经历了母亲去世的伤痛。
4. 同年，我儿子因车祸受了重伤。他不得不在医院的床上躺了好几天。撞毁的汽车是一笔不小的损失。
最后他写道：唉！真是糟糕透顶的一年！
作家妻子走进书房，发现沉思中的丈夫看起来很悲伤。她从他的背后读了写在纸上的字，默默地离开了房间，过不久，她带着另一张纸回来，放在丈夫的手稿旁边。
上面写着：
1. 去年，我终于摆脱了让我疼痛多年的骨刺。
2. 同年，我 65岁，身体健康，而且退休了。现在，我可以安排自己的时间，悠闲自在地创作。
3. 同年，我母亲90岁，不依赖任何人，也没有病痛，她安详地回到天堂。
4. 同年，老天赐予我儿子新的生命。我的车被撞毁了，但我儿子活了下来，没有造成任何残疾。
最后她写道：去年真是蒙受老天爷极大恩典的一年！
解读：
1. 同样一事件，两个截然不同的观点！
2. 我们并非因快乐而感恩，而是感恩使我们快乐。
3. 生活中总有许多值得感谢的人和事！
4. 不看自己所没有的，而是要看自己所拥有的。
当我们为拥有的一切献上感恩，就会看见真正幸福！
