幸福不是现成的东西，它来自于你自己的行动。

The key to success is to focus on the long term and not get distracted by short-term fluctuations.

译文：奢靡一发不可收拾，勤俭方能长久安乐。奢侈为凶，节俭为吉，这些征兆可以看得出来的。赏析：成由勤俭败由奢。家庭的成功离不开勤俭的好习惯，浪费铺张迟早会败掉万贯家财。勤俭持家会让家庭越来越兴旺发达，奢靡无度让家庭走向衰落，变得越来越凶险。

The defining characteristic of pessimists is that they tend to believe bad events will last a long time, will undermine everything they do, and are their own fault.
