We all know that money can't buy happiness - but many times we act as if we'd be happier with a bit more money. We are conditioned to want to be rich (when we know the rich aren't happy either); we are trained to want the latest gadget or style that television tells us to want; we want to earn more money because then we'll have the good life.
我们都知道金钱买不来幸福 - 但很多时候，钱多一点，我们也会显得更高兴。我们总想有钱（尽管我们知道富人也并非总是幸福）；我们总要得到电视介绍给我们的最新玩意或样式；我们要赚更多的钱，因为有钱我们才能享受美好生活。
But none of that will bring us happiness. No matter how much we earn, no matter how much we have in the bank, no matter how nice our clothing or cars or toys, none of it will make us happier. And the sad thing is that it could take us decades of pursuing wealth and luxury items before we realize this.
但那些东西都不能给我们带来幸福。不管我们赚多少钱，无论我们在银行存有多少钱，无论我们的衣着，轿车或玩具有多么漂亮，都不会使我们更幸福。而可悲的是，它可以让我们数十年如一日不断追求财富和奢侈品，直到现在才明白这一点。
So what will bring us happiness? Luckily, it's three things that don't cost a thing. These three things have been prove by research - surveys of hundreds of thousands of people about what they have, what their lives are like, and how happy they are.
