How to feel happiness?
From the Editor
♥ Your Child in Monash is Overview monthly for the published mums, dads and grandparents of the Monash and surrounding areas. ♥ 5000 copies monthly are distributed in the Monash and surrounding areas. ♥ Estimated readership of 15,000.
Many of us have explored this questions and I believe we all have different ways of approaching the answers. How about when it comes to our kids? Some parents are frantic about sending children to tutoring schools from a young age. We all want our children to succeed academically because we know that top VCE results may open the door to top-paid jobs. However, we also know money can’t buy you happiness. Australia is a developed country. There was a saying that in developed countries education aims to separate the genius from the ordinary. Without a doubt geniuses are much fewer but will end up owning many more resources. Most of us are just ordinary people; but somehow we all want our children to break into the top level of social status pyramid. So rather than pushing them to finish an impossible mission and suffering therein, why not just be a happy person and show them how ordinary people can have bright smiles and beautiful days.

To me the most valuable and vital first step you can teach your children to feel happiness and be a happy person yourself.

东汉末年，天下四分五裂，刘关张桃园结义之后，刘备广招贤能异士，诸葛亮，字 孔明，青年时代躬耕于隆中，并苦读经书，熟悉历朝兴衰的历史，潜心钻研兵法。是难 得的一位将才、谋士，自称“卧龙”。善于网罗人才的刘备闻知，高兴地说：“我需要 这样的人才!” 深冬的一天，刘备带着关羽、张飞，到隆中邀请诸葛亮。谁知诸葛亮恰好不在家， 刘备只好扫兴而归。 刘备回到新野，不断派人到隆中打听诸葛亮何时在家。当打听到诸葛亮外出已经回 到家时，刘备当即决定二请诸葛。这时，张飞不以为然地说：“一个平民百姓， 派个武 士把他叫来就得了，犯不着让你一再去请。”刘备说：“诸葛亮是当代大贤，怎么能随 便派个人去叫他呢?”刘备说服了张飞， 叫上关羽，三人骑马直奔隆中而去。 这一天，北风呼啸，大雪纷飞，冷得实在教人难忍。张飞对着刘备大嚷：“我等何 苦找此罪受!不如等天晴 再说。”刘备却说：“贤弟，咱们冒此大风雪，不怕山高路 远，去请诸葛，不正表明了我们的一片诚意吗?”三人继续往前赶路。不料，这一次刘备 又未见到诸葛 亮，只好写了一封信托诸葛亮的弟弟转交，说明来意，并表示择日再访。 第二年春天，刘备更衣备马，决定第三次去拜访诸葛亮。张飞、关羽竭力劝阻。关 羽说：“我们两次相请，都未见到他，想必他徒有虚名，不敢前来相见。”张飞更是带 着轻蔑的口吻说：“我们已仁至义尽，这次只需我一人前往，他如若不来，我就将他绑 来见你。”刘备连忙说道：“不得无礼，没有诚意哪能请到贤人呢?” 刘备三人飞马直奔隆中，来到诸葛亮的草庐前。此时诸葛亮正在午睡。刘备唯恐打 扰诸葛亮，不顾路途疲劳，屏声敛气地站在门外静候，直到诸葛亮醒来才敢求见。刘备 见了诸葛亮，说道：“久慕先生大名，三次拜访，今日如愿，实是平生之大幸!”诸葛亮 说：“蒙您不弃，三顾茅庐，真叫我过意不去。亮年幼不才，恐怕让您失望。”刘备却 诚恳地说：“我不度德量力， 想为天下伸张正义，振兴汉室。由于智术短浅，时至今 日，尚未达到目的，望先生多多指教。”刘备谦虚的态度，诚恳的情意，使诸葛亮很受 感动。于是诸葛亮终于答应了刘备的请求，怀着统一全国的政治抱负，离开了隆中茅 庐，出任刘备的军师。他忠心耿耿地辅佐刘备，为“三国鼎立”局面的确立，做出了巨 大贡献。 28

婆婆来访，我四岁的女儿开心地弹起她刚学会的一首钢琴曲，她才开始学钢琴，曲 子非常简单。之后，婆婆背地里面色凝重地跟我说：“这个孩子当不了钢琴家。”原因 是我女儿长得高大。我笑笑：“我们从来都没想到让她往钢琴家发展啊！”但看着婆婆 的表情，她是不信的。 为什么让孩子学一样东西就要期盼他将来在这方面成为专家？我们不是上帝，不能 指着一条金光大道，跟我们孩子说：“走下去吧，路的尽头是万人瞩目的成功。”我们 只是平凡的父母，很多人都是第一次学着做爸爸和妈妈，可能自己的人生还没有完全规 划好，凭什么要把所有的期望放在孩子身上？ 在我看来，让女儿学习音乐，只是在教她一种获取快乐的方式。最近热播的《欢乐 颂》里面的关关和赵医生都很喜欢音乐，澳洲也有医生平时的爱好就是弹钢琴，音乐是 能带来人放松与快乐的。音乐里面有一个宇宙，有的人生来就是宇宙的中心，像电影 《想飞的钢琴少年》里主人公两三岁听到《生日快乐》这首歌，自己就在键盘上敲出 来，这些天才可遇而不可求。大多数的孩子都是平凡的孩子，但不代表他们不能进入这 个宇宙。完全不学习音乐，那么你可能在流行歌曲里听到了安慰，可是当你真的学习了 音乐，古典乐才向你开了一扇门。听着音乐热泪盈眶，感情释放，这就是一种快乐。 其它的艺术也是一样的。你多学习一样东西，就能进入到另外一个宇宙里。当现实 不那么美丽的时候，你可以让你的思绪从一团糟的现实跳跃到另一个你能感知快乐的宇 宙。这就是我们给孩子的礼物。澳洲的孩子谁愁吃喝穿？大家上兴趣班，有的目的明 显，可我相信很多家长也跟我一样，只是让孩子去发掘自己的兴趣罢了。每一次的尝 试，最后无论成功或失败，都不会浪费，都在塑造孩子的性格，在你孩子寻找快乐的能 力上添加血液。 于是，当他们长大了，他们离开我们了，他们能自己寻找快乐，探索每一个宇宙的 奥秘。我觉得这样的孩子是不会得抑郁症也不会伤害社会的，他们会享受人生。这可比 成功更难，更有价值。
