在金钱至上，物欲横流的世界，人们普遍认为有了钱就幸福，就快乐。的确，金钱能满足我们的部分欲望，从而给予我们一些快乐，但其他的要素也能让快乐和幸福常住心中，比如助人就是快乐的秘诀之一。
To help others, you don’t have to be an efficient expert in the art; the main thing is the intention. You may be crude and clumsy, wasteful and ineffective, but if you sincerely try to help, your attempt produces nothing but good.
要帮助他人，你不必是这方面的专家，最主要的是有助人的意愿。你可能粗鲁、笨拙、徒劳而低效。但如果你真心想帮助他人，你的努力会有益处。
intention n.意图，目的，打算。clumsy adj.笨拙的，不灵活的。
The one you are trying to help knows your intention and is strengthened and encouraged by the magic of your sharing. In nearly every case, your simple desire to help, converted into action, produces the good sought.
你试图帮助的人知道你的意图，他会被你助人的魔力所鼓励。你简单的助人愿望转化为行动时，就会产生所寻求的善。
strengthen v.巩固，加强。magic n.魔法，法术；魔术，戏法；魅力，魔力。
But perhaps the greatest good is the good that you yourself get out of the attempt. Service to others delivers more joy to you than the joy you deliver to them.
但也许最大的善是你自己从帮助他人中得到的善。帮助他人所带给你的快乐比你带给他人的快乐更多。
In doing good, you free yourself from the terrible burden of self; you escape from yourself into a clean world of joy and light. The good you simply try to do, regardless of the outcome, is always a success inside yourself.
行善会使你摆脱自我的可怕负担，进入一个充满欢乐和光明的纯净世界。只要你努力去做善事，无论结果如何，在你内心永远是成功的。
burden n.负担，责任。regardless of不顾，不管。outcome n.结果，效果。
Unselfish giving is your most efficient formula for happiness, for you have embraced eternity instead of Self; you have felt Life, and you are now the world bigger than you were before you began the project.
无私的给予是你获得幸福的最高效的方法，因为你拥抱的是“永恒”而不是“自我”。你感受到了“生命”的存在，你的世界比你开始行善之前要大得多。
unselfish adj.无私的，慷慨的。formula n.计划，方案；公式。eternity n.永恒，永久。
