After we finished playing with the beads (珠子 ) , David slowly picked up each bead, looking at it as if it were made of chocolate and then put it into the box they were stored in. With over a hundred beads to go, I was getting impatient. Why could he not pick up 10 in one go and put them in? My morning was going to be ruined today! But then it hit me like a brick. I noticed that he did this with as much interest as he had while we were playing. The boy was enjoying the whole process. For him the fun was in the game itself as well as in the process of properly packing up and cleaning up. It was not just about his turn or the fun part. Every bit was as fun as the other. I thought of myself as a kid when we would go out to play cricket (板球 ). If I was not batting or bowling (擊球或擲球 ), I was unhappy as I impatiently waited for my turn to do so. As a result, I was unhappy while waiting for my turn and only happy for the few moments I either batted or bowled. Only the process of doing something I bined with happiness made me cheerful. The rest of the time I was waiting for my run in the future or recalling great bowling from the past. Looking at how peacefully my son was putting beads into the box taught me that the process is the goal. The joy of journey is not in getting there but in every step of it. 21.

What children thought was different from that of adults. B Many of us dream of having thousands and thousands of dollar to spend on what we desire .We can buy lottery tickets, enter contests or spend hours building a business or invest in the stock market. We are sure that when we have plenty of money, we will be happy While having some money does have an impact on our level of happiness, having a lot of money does not. It is reported that Americans whose ine goes from $20,000 a year to $50,000 a year are more likely to be happy. But beyond $50,000, happiness does not increase as salaries go up. It is because we are never satisfied. Catherine Sanderson, a psychology professor at Amherst College says, We always think if we just had a little more money, we’d be happier. But when we get there, we are not. Daniel Gilbert, a psychology professor at Harvard notes,The more you make, the more you want. The more you have, the less it brings you joy. We incorrectly assume we’Il get more pleasure from more, and we don’t. The things money can buy don39。t make you happy either. A lot of research suggests that you won39。t find the good life buying expensive toys. You finally buy that BMW you39。ve always wanted and it soon loses its appeal. Then, instead of wondering if a new car is what really makes you happy, you decide you just need a different new car. It is an endless cycle. To really be happy, you need to understand what makes you happy in the first place. One secret of happiness is people. Surveys have found that people need people. Those who have five or more close friends are 50% more likely to describe themselves as very happy. Good relationships have a far greater effect on ha
