Recently I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together at the airport.The airline had announced her departure and standing near the security gate,they hugged and he said,“I love you.I wish you enough”

She in turn said,“Dad,our life together has been more than enough.Your love is a11 I ever needed.I wish you enough,too,Dad.”They kissed and she left

He walked over toward the window where I was seated Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry.I tried not to disturb his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking,“Did you ever say good—bye to someone knowing it would be forever?’’

“Yes,I have.”I replied“Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?”“I’m old and she lives much too far away I have challenges ahead,and the reality is,the next trip back will be for my funeral.”He said.

“When you were saying good-bye 1 heard you say,‘1 wish you enough.’May I ask what that means?”

He began to smile.“That’s a wish that has been handed down for many generations within my family.My parents used to say it to everyone.”

He paused for a moment,looking up as if trying to remember it in detail,and then he smiled even more“When we said‘I wish you enough’,we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain(使…持续)them.,,He continued and then turning toward me be shared the following:

“I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright。

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.

I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate a11 that you possess

I wish you enough ‘Hellos’ to get you enough the final ‘Good—byes’”

Then he walked away.

Teenagers at one German school are learning how to achieve happiness alongside other traditional subjects such as math and languages

The class sit in a circle with their eyes shut and they count from one to ten;someone starts,the next voice comes from the far right,a third from the other side

The aim of the game is to listen for an opportunity to shout out the number without

clashing(冲突)with another voice or leaving a pause.On the first try, most of the young Germans try to be first,while a few are too shy to join in,but by the fifth time round,they develop a rhythm.The message:give other people space but also confidently claim your own.This is a requirement for social well—being

The Willy Hellpach School in Heidelberg is the first in the nation to develop happiness course.It is intended for students preparing for university entrance exams.

“The course isn’t there to make you happy,”Ernst Fritz Schubert,the school principal,warned pupils,“but rather to help you discover the ways to become happy.”

Cooking a meal together is one of the class exercises.Improving body language under the

guidance of two professional actresses is another.

The course is taught for three periods a week.Despite the happy subject.the pupils

themselves insist it is no laughing matter.

“In the first period,we had to each say something positive about another member of the class and about ourselves No laughing at people or teasing(取笑).” said Fanny,17.

The message:self-esteem(自尊)improves happiness,too.Research by the school shows it is not the first to start happiness classes:they also exist at some US universities,but are mainly based on positive thinking,using findings from studies of depression.

“That would be too one—sided for us.We want to show how decent food or exercise can help,too.”the principal said.
