We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments, so much so that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless.
5. 当我们忙于制定其他计划时，我们的孩子忙于成长，我们所爱之人远离，并撒手尘寰，我们体型走样了，我们的梦想消失了。
While we are busy making other plans, our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away.

3. 研究人员发现，在一些贫穷的国家，相对富裕确实会令人过得更幸福一些。
Researchers have found that in poor countries, being relatively well-off does make for greater well-being.
4. 然而人们惊讶地发现，在那些几乎所有人都衣食无忧的国家里，财富的增加所起的作用惊人地小。
But a surprising fact of life is that in countries where nearly everyone can afford life’s necessities, increasing affluence matters little.
