陽光生活

There are no free lunches in life

天上不會掉餡餅

You may have used this truth of life as an idiom in your conversation before but have you realized that this is a truth that you need to know?

可能你以前講話時經常引用這句俗語，但你真正領悟了其中的道理嗎？

The real meaning behind this fact of life is that we should not expect anything from anyone without a cost.

其實這句話是說，我們決不可對任何人抱有不勞而獲的奢望。

Whether that cost is in the form of effort,persistence, money, knowledge, skill or simply sheer hard work, is a different thing.

因為你總歸要付出代價——努力、堅持、金錢、知識、技能或單純的苦差事，事實便是如此。

You will find true happiness in life once you get rid of expectations.

一旦你停止那樣的奢望，生活便會開心很多。
