So if you chose certain path and now you regret it, remember, it really doesn't matter. You can be as happy in both paths as long as you are committed. Because when we are committed, that's when we can enjoy the journey.
如果你选择某条路,却又后悔了,记住,这不重要的,走哪条路你都可以开心的,只要你投入了。因为当我们投入其中就能享受这旅程
Doesn't matter as much what it is that we are committed to, provided of course that is moral and it's not about hurting others, which ultimately doesn't just hurt others- it also hurts ourselves.
而我们投入于何事并不重要,当然必须是道德的事,不能伤害他人,因为那样的话,最终不但会伤害他人也会伤害到我们自己
David Watson in "The Handbook of Positive Psychology": "Contemporary researchers emphasize "that it is the process of striving after goals— rather than goal attainment perse— that is crucial for happiness and positive affectivity."
大卫·沃森在“积极心理学手册”里说“当代研究学者强调追寻目标的过程——而不是目标的实现——才是实现幸福的关键”
And finally, two of the leading researchers in the field, David Myers and Ed Diener: "Happiness grows less from the passive experience of desirable circumstances than from involvement in valued activities and progress toward one goal."
该领域的主要研究学者戴维·迈尔斯和爱德·迪纳说:“幸福感在理想情况下的消极体验中的增长比在有价值的活动以及实现目标的过程中的增长要少”

这有一首优美的诗,由女诗人关朵琳·布鲁克丝所写的:“不为胜利而活,不为曲终而活,为美好过程而活”
