However mean is all your life is,meet it and live it;do not shun it and call ithard names. It is not so bad as you thought.It might look poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life even poor as it is.You may have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hours,even in a poor-house. The snow melts before its door as early in the spring.A quiet mind may live contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace. They are great simply because they receive life without misgiving.
譯文：
不論你的生活如何卑微,你要面對它,不要躲避它,更別用惡言咒罵它.它不像你想的那樣差勁.或許你最富有的時候,倒是看似最窮的時候.愛找缺點的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺點. 你要愛你的生活,盡管它貧窮.甚至在破舊的房子里,你也會有愉快、高興、光榮的時候. 在那門前,積雪在早春融化. 一個從容的人,在哪里也會像在皇宮中一樣,生活得神采奕奕.他們之所以偉大,僅僅是因為珍惜生活.
