感恩是什么?
“gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.” — henry van dyke
"謝意是受到恩惠后的內(nèi)心感覺，感恩是渴望表達這感覺的自然反應，感恩節(jié)就是為這反應要生的。”
“thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. thankfulness may consist merely of words. gratitude is shown in acts.” — henri frederic amiel
"感恩始于感謝之心，謝意正好完成了感恩。感恩也許只是一堆言語文字，感謝卻要以行動去表逹。”
it isn’t what you have in your pocket that makes you thankful, but what you have in your heart.
令你感恩的，不是你口袋裡的，而是在你心中的。
為何要感恩?
“to educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action. nothing that is done for you is a matter of course. everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed at you. train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.” — albert schweitzer
"學習感恩即是要明白沒有東西是理所當然的，經(jīng)常尋求和重視行動的背后。沒有東西是奉旨的，一切都源于為你好。必須訓練自己不要延遲表達謝意。”
“to live a life of gratitude is to open our eyes to the countless ways in which we are supported by the world around us. such a life provides less space for our suffering because our attention is more balanced. we are more often occupied with noticing what we are given, thanking those who have helped us, and repaying the world in some concrete way for what we are receiving.” — gregg krech
"感恩之心有無數(shù)的方法打開我們的眼睛，讓我們看清周圍的世界是多麼支持我們的。感恩的生活容不下痛楚，因為我們的注意力會集中在我們所擁有的，感謝身邊幫忙過我們的人，并以實際行動回饋。”
不懂感恩的后果?
“if a fellow isn’t thankful for what he’s got, he isn’t likely to be thankful for what he’s going to get.” — frank a. clark
"如果一個家伙不為所擁有的感恩，他不可能會為自己將來所擁有的感恩。”
“you won’t be happy with more until you’re happy with what you’ve got.” — viki king
"若你對現(xiàn)在擁有的不感到高興，你將不會因為得到更多而感到快樂。”
不幸的人如何感恩?
“i thank god for my handicaps, for, through them, i have found myself, my work, and my god.” — helen keller
