在探寻人生的极致境界中，我们往往将乐观视为基石，将知足作为进阶，而将无谓视为巅峰。今日，让我们开启一段心灵之旅，一同领略这三种心态的独特魅力。

In the pursuit of the ultimate state of life, we often regard optimism as the cornerstone, contentment as the stepping stone, and meaninglessness as the peak. Today, let us embark on a journey of the soul, together appreciating the unique charm of these three attitudes.

1. 懂得知足，降低对生活的期待，不跟命运死磕，不与自己为难，还能在似水流年的日子里，活得自在从容，不惊不扰。

1. Understanding contentment, lowering expectations of life, not fighting fate to the end, not causing oneself trouble, one can still live freely and calmly in the days that flow like water, without being startled or disturbed.

2. 知足是快乐的藤，贪婪是灾难的果。凡事不要贪得无厌、不知满足，否则无尽的贪欲最终会毁掉自己。美好的生活要靠勤劳的双手去创造，不义之财最终会给自己带来祸害。

2. Contentment is the vine of happiness, while greed is the fruit of disaster. Do not be overly greedy and unsatisfied with anything. Otherwise, endless greed will eventually destroy oneself. A good life should be created with hardworking hands, and ill-gotten gains will eventually bring harm to oneself.

3. 太阳出来了，太阳山的温度也在渐渐地升高。弟弟看到了太阳，急忙背着金子往回走，可是金子实在太重了，他的步履有些蹒跚，太阳越升越高，弟弟终于倒了下去，再也没有站起来。

3. The sun came out, and the temperature on the Sun Mountain was gradually rising. Seeing the sun, the younger brother hurriedly carried the gold back, but the gold was too heavy, and his steps were somewhat unsteady. As the sun rose higher and higher, the younger brother finally fell and never got up again.

4. 相由心生，境随心转。

4. The appearance is a reflection of the mind, and the environment changes with the mind.

5. 我们或许无法改变自己的命运，但是可以改变自己对待命运的态度，永远阳光灿烂，永远乐观豁达，永远自信满满。

5. Perhaps we cannot change our destiny, but we can change our attitude towards it, always radiating sunshine, always optimistic and open-minded, always full of confidence.

6. 有心者有所累，无心者无所谓。

6. Those who have ambitions bear burdens, while those who do not have ambitions have no worries.

7. 想事情，不要过度悲观，朝好的方向想。好心情与坏心情仅仅是一念之差，与其悲观消极处理问题，不如积极的想想美好的未来，然后去创造条件，实际你的想法。

7. Think about things, but don't be overly pessimistic, and think positively. Good and bad moods are just a matter of thought, and it's better to think positively about a beautiful future than to deal with problems in a pessimistic and negative way. Then go ahead and create conditions to actually realize your thoughts.

8. 非常通透的一段话：“人活着拼的就是心态，一个好的心态，胜过万千良药。成年人的心态，乐观是标配，知足是高配。很多时候，所谓快乐，其实都不过是对当下的知足。不要羡慕别人的生活，过好眼前的生活，享受当下所拥有的一切，就是人生的小确幸。看淡得失，顺其自然。”

8. A very transparent passage: "The essence of living is all about attitude; a good attitude is more effective than thousands of remedies. For adults, optimism is the standard, while contentment is the premium. Often, the so-called happiness is actually just contentment with the present. Don't envy others' lives; live well in the present, enjoy everything you have, and that is the little happiness in life. Take a light-hearted view of gains and losses, and go with the flow."

9. 对未来怀有美好的愿景。没有理想，没有目标的人，生活会显得枯燥无味，享受不到成功的乐趣。要保持乐观的心态，需要不断完成目标带来刺激，只有这样才会有源源不断的动力。

9. Hold a beautiful vision for the future. Without ideals and goals, life will seem monotonous and the joy of success will not be enjoyed. To maintain an optimistic mindset, one needs to constantly achieve goals to bring about stimulation, and only in this way will there be a continuous source of motivation.

10. 哥哥回到家之后，用捡到的那块金子作本钱，做起了生意，后来成了远近闻名的大富翁，日子过得非常快乐。可弟弟却永远留在了太阳山。

10. After the brother returned home, he used the gold he found as capital to start a business, and later became a well-known wealthy man in the vicinity, living a very happy life. However, the younger brother remained forever on the Sun Mountain.

11. 不要过于完美主义，保持良好的心态。没有什么事情是完美的，当你把标准定的越来越高时，常常会因实现不了而感到失落。不妨实事求是，能超标准完成最好，达不到标准，下次继续努力。

11. Don't be too perfectionist and maintain a good attitude. Nothing is perfect, and when you set higher and higher standards, you often feel disappointed because you can't meet them. It's better to be realistic. If you can exceed the standards, that's great. If you can't meet them, keep trying next time.

12. 这一天，天上的神仙得知了他们二人的情况，决心下界去帮他们一把。这天清早，兄弟俩还未起床，神仙便来到了他们的梦中，对兄弟俩说：“在远方有一座太阳山，山上撒满了金光灿灿的金子，你们可以前去拾取。不过一路艰难险阻，你们可要小心！另外，太阳山温度很高，你们只能在太阳未出来之前拾取黄金，否则等到太阳出来了，你们就会被烧死。”神仙说完就不见了。

12. On this day, the gods in heaven learned about their situation and decided to descend to help them. Early that morning, before the brothers had risen, the god came to their dreams and said to them, "There is a Sun Mountain far away, covered with shimmering gold. You can go and collect it. However, the journey is fraught with difficulties and dangers, so be careful! Moreover, the temperature in Sun Mountain is very high, and you can only collect gold before the sun rises. Otherwise, when the sun comes out, you will be burnt to death." The god spoke and then disappeared.

13. 哥哥从山上捡了一块较大的金子装在了口袋里，下山去了。弟弟捡了一块又一块，就是不肯罢手。不一会儿整个袋子都装满了，弟弟还是不肯住手。太阳快出来了，可是弟弟却全然不顾。这时他耳边又响起了神仙的警示：“太阳快出来了，赶快回去吧！”弟弟却说：“我好不容易见到这么多金子，你就让我一次捡个够吧！”说完他又忘我地捡了起来。

13. The brother picked up a large piece of gold from the mountain and put it in his pocket before descending. The younger brother kept picking up one piece after another, unwilling to stop. Before long, the entire bag was full, yet the younger brother still wouldn't give up. The sun was about to rise, but the younger brother paid no attention at all. At this moment, he heard the warning from the immortal again: "The sun is about to rise, hurry up and go back!" But the younger brother replied, "I've好不容易 seen so much gold, just let me pick as much as I can this time!" After saying that, he forgot himself and continued to pick up the gold.

14. 兄弟二人从睡梦中醒来，心中很是兴奋。他们商量了一下，便启程去了太阳山。一路上，有时遇到毒蛇猛兽，有时遇到狼虫虎豹，有时狂风大作，有时电闪雷鸣。兄弟俩都能团结一致，最终斗败各种艰难险阻，不知过了多长时间，他们终于来到了太阳山。这时太阳还没有出来，“啊！漫山遍野的黄金，照得我眼睛都睁不开了。”弟弟一脸的兴奋，显然没有了长途跋涉的困顿与疲惫。哥哥看到后只是淡淡地笑了笑。

14. The two brothers woke up from their sleep, feeling very excited. After a discussion, they set off for the Sun Mountain. Along the way, they encountered venomous snakes and ferocious beasts, wolves, insects, tigers, and leopards, and sometimes fierce winds and thunderstorms. The brothers always stood united and eventually overcame all kinds of difficulties and dangers. After an indeterminate amount of time, they finally arrived at the Sun Mountain. At this moment, the sun had not yet risen, "Ah! Gold everywhere, it's so bright that my eyes can't open." The younger brother was full of excitement, clearly without the fatigue and exhaustion of a long journey. The elder brother, upon seeing this, just gave a faint smile.

15. 乐观灾难贪婪

15. Optimism, disaster, greed

16. 学会知足。俗话说，知足常乐。容易满足的人，一般拥有乐观的心态。知足不等于不思进取，是为了有更好的心态去面对未来的艰难险阻，实现目标。

16. Learn to be content. As the saying goes, contentment brings joy. People who are easily satisfied generally have an optimistic mindset. Being content does not mean not striving for progress; it is about having a better mindset to face the difficulties and challenges of the future and to achieve one's goals.

17. 人就是一团欲望，当欲望得不到满足，就会感到非常痛苦，当欲望得到满足，就会感到十分空虚。我们就像钟摆一样，在痛苦和空虚之间左右摇摆，精疲力竭，苦不堪言。

17. Human beings are a bundle of desires. When desires are not satisfied, one feels immense pain. When desires are satisfied, one feels deeply empty. We swing like pendulums between pain and emptiness, exhausted and suffering greatly.

18. 一段非常有道理的话：”人是气死的，花是浇死的，凡是大病，必与情志有关，长期情志不遂，一定会催生大病，养生并不是一味的讲究吃什么，喝什么的问题，养生养的其实是人生格局，是人生情怀。”

18. A very sensible statement: "People are killed by stress, flowers by overwatering. Any serious illness is always related to emotional and mental factors. Prolonged disharmony of emotions and thoughts will inevitably lead to serious diseases. Health preservation is not just about what to eat or drink. What it actually preserves is the breadth of one's life, the spirit of one's life."

19. 在没有吃饱饭的时候，只有一种欲望，就是吃饭。只要吃饱了撑着，各种各样的欲望就会滋长蔓延，不断膨胀。

19. When one is not properly fed, the only desire is to eat. Once one is sated, all sorts of desires will sprout and spread, constantly expanding.

20. 我们总会遇到各种各样的小人，烂人，垃圾人，他们就像行走着的垃圾车，身上装着怨气、邪气、戾气、怒气，稍不注意就倾斜在我们身上，我们最好的应对方式，不是一直纠缠，而是远远避开，也不把这些事情放在心上，因为这些人和事，不值得浪费你的心情。

20. We will always encounter all sorts of small-minded, despicable, and trashy people. They are like walking garbage trucks, loaded with resentment, evilness, anger, and wrath. If we are not careful, these negative energies can spill over onto us. The best way to deal with them is not to entangle ourselves in endless disputes, but to keep a distance and not let these things weigh on your mind. These people and events are not worthy of wasting your emotions.

21. 一个人拥有什么样的心态，就会拥有什么样的人生。

21. The mindset a person has will determine the kind of life they will have.

22. 不要过于挑剔，保持一颗宽容的心。当你看不惯别人的时候，不仅会造成与对方有隔阂，难以沟通合作，而且会影响自己的美好心情。学会宽容、谅解，对双方都有好处，事情才会朝着好的方面发展。

22. Do not be overly picky and maintain a heart of tolerance. When you cannot stand someone else, it not only creates a barrier between you and them, making communication and cooperation difficult, but it also affects your own pleasant mood. Learning to be tolerant and understanding is beneficial to both parties, and only then can things develop in a positive direction.

23. 心态乐观豁达的人，哪怕身处泥泞坎坷之中，也会露出最璀璨的笑脸。心态悲观绝望之人，哪怕此刻锦衣玉食，花团锦簇，也在抑郁之中痛不欲生。

23. Optimistic and open-minded individuals, even when surrounded by mud and thorns, will still show their brightest smiles. Pessimistic and despairing people, even if they are currently living in luxury with rich food and beautiful decorations, will still be in a state of depression and unable to enjoy life.

24. 关于乐观心态的小故事：知足是快乐的藤，贪婪是灾难的果

24. A little story about an optimistic mindset: Contentment is the vine of happiness, greed is the fruit of disaster.

25. 他们俩终日以打柴为生，生活十分辛苦。但他们从来都不抱怨，而是起早贪黑，一天到晚忙个不停。生活中哥哥照顾弟弟，弟弟心疼哥哥。二人生活虽然艰苦，但日子过得还算舒心。

25. They both made a living by chopping wood all day, and their lives were very hard. However, they never complained. Instead, they got up early and stayed up late, busy from morning to night. In their lives, the older brother took care of the younger brother, and the younger brother felt sorry for the older brother. Although their lives were tough, they still managed to live contentedly.

26. 最好的生活不是拥有很高的成就，不是拥有很多的财富，而是拥有最好的心态。

26. The best life is not about having great achievements, nor is it about having a lot of wealth, but about having the best mindset.

27. 学会屈服。当遭遇重大打击时，往往会比较浮躁、悲观，但事情已经发生了，消极的心态无济于事，反而会让事情更遭。不如学会屈服，接受现实，重新开始。

27. Learn to yield. When faced with a major setback, one often becomes restless and pessimistic. However, since the situation has already occurred, a negative mindset is of no help and may even make matters worse. Why not learn to yield, accept the reality, and start anew?

28. 遇到难于解决的问题，情绪消极的时候，不妨暂时回避一下，去做些其他事情来调解心情，如听音乐、散步等。等恢复乐观积极的心态时再去解决问题，往往会有意外的收获。

28. When faced with difficult problems and experiencing negative emotions, it's not a bad idea to temporarily step aside and do something else to soothe your mood, such as listening to music or taking a walk. Once you have regained an optimistic and positive mindset, returning to solve the problem often yields unexpected benefits.

29. 从前有两个兄弟，他们自幼失去了父母，兄弟俩相依为命，家境十分贫寒。

29. Once there were two brothers who lost their parents at a young age. The brothers relied on each other for survival, and their family was very poor.

30. 人生除了生死，没有什么大事！哪怕就是生死，站在苍茫宇宙的角度。也不过毫无意义。人活着就是一场梦境，一种感受，一次体验，一个旅程。不必拥有什么，不必成为什么，不必追求什么。我们赤条条来到这个世界，又将毫无保留的离开这个世界。带不走一草一木，拿不去一分一毫。

30. Other than life and death, there is nothing significant in life! Even life and death, from the perspective of the vast universe, hold no meaning. Living is like a dream, a sensation, an experience, and a journey. There's no need to possess anything, to become something, or to pursue anything. We come into this world stripped, and we leave it with nothing held back. We can't take away a blade of grass or a single cent.

31. 人生痛苦的根源，在于我们需要的不多，而想要的太多。

31. The root of human suffering lies in the fact that we do not need much, but we want too much.

32. 你在乎什么，就会被什么所伤害，你计较什么，就会被什么所限制。做一个没心没肺的人吧，什么都看得开，什么都无所谓，什么都可以放下，人生自然就会云淡风轻，其乐陶陶。

32. What you care about will hurt you, and what you hold onto will limit you. Be a person without a heart or a mind, who can take everything lightly, who doesn't mind anything, who can let go of everything. Then life will naturally be carefree and joyful.

33. 终日奔波只为饥，方才一饱便思衣。衣食两般皆俱足，又思娇娥美貌妻。娶得美妻生下子，恨无田地少根基。良田置的多广阔，出门又嫌少马骑。

33. Toil all day long for hunger, just having eaten, I think of clothes. When both food and clothing are abundant, I long for a beautiful wife. Having a beautiful wife and having children, I regret not having enough land and roots. If I have vast fields, I still complain of having too few horses to ride.
