However, if Michael Jordan hadn't worked on his basketball, I would be a better player than he is.
但是，如果邁克爾·喬丹從沒練過籃球我應該能比他打的好
If he didn't work on his basketball at all, and I did and do.
如果他從沒練過的話，而且我的確練過
In other words also with genes, people who don't work on their happiness
換句話說，在遺傳作用的前提下，不去努力爭取幸福的人
even if they have the best of genes will not do as well as people with less happy genes who work on it.
即便他們有最好的遺傳基因，也不會比基因不如他們但努力爭取的人快樂
So work matters a great deal.
所以說，后天努力至關重要
The second thing that matters that makes up the hundred percent of variance of happiness, external circumstances.
第二個對快樂差異指數有影響的因素是外部環境
Of course, extreme circumstances make a lot of difference, whether we're living in a free country versus oppression. That makes a lot of difference.
當然了，外部環境很重要，我們生活在一個自由的國度，還是受人壓迫，帶來的結果是完全不同的
However, in general, external circumstances beyond the extremes, beyond being homeless on the street, make very little difference,
但總的來說，外部環境只要不過于極端，比如無家可歸流浪街頭，其實影響不大
in fact, about 10% of the total variance.
在差異方面只有10%的作用
So genetic genes 50%, external circumstances such as place of residence, such as income, such as weather.
因此遺傳作用50%，外部環境包括居住地，包括收入，天氣等等
And again not for people, for example, who have seasonal affective disorder.
另外這個不包括，有季節性情感異常的患者
Then of course it matters whether we get sun or not.
對于他們來說，有沒有陽光太重要了
I'm talking about, um, most people, not people with SAD.
我現在說的是大部分人，不包括有季節性情感異常的人
So out of these extremes, external circumstances make, matter about 10%, not much.
因此除去極端案例，外部環境的作用不大，大概是10%
The third thing, the rest of the 40% is accounted for by intentional activities.
第三點，剩下的40%是由意向活動決定
