Constantly seeking fleeting contentment.

寻求短暂的满足感


There are two variations of contentment in life –fleeting and enduring. The fleeting type is derived from instants of materialcomfort, while the enduring type is attained through the gradual growth of your mind. At a glimpse it might be difficult to decipher one from the other, but as time rolls on it becomes vividly obvious that the latter is far superior.

人生有2种满足感——短暂的和长久的。物质上的满足带来短暂的满足感,而长久的满足感则是来源于精神上的成长。也许一时之间很难在两者之间做出抉择,但随着时间的流逝你就会明白后者才更值得争取。

Enduring contentment sustains itself through life's ups and downs, because through them your mind remains confident and at peace.

人生起起落落,持久的满足会一直陪伴着你,因为无论发生什么,你都会一如既往的保持自信和平和。
