保持乐观的态度

Nowadays, a lot of people in society think the more money they have the more happiness they will obtain. As a result, they will try their best to get money, even without considering the law.

But in my view, the greatest happiness lies in one's satisfaction with one's surroundings. So long as we can look at things with a happy heart, we can be happy. It has nothing to do with a mount of money we have. Therefore, people shouldn't pay too much attention to their money. On the contrary, what they should do is to put their money to good use and try to have an optimistic outlook all the time.

现在，社会上有许多人认为，他们拥有的钱越多，他们能够得到的幸福就越多。因此他们想方设法去赚钱，甚至不顾及法律。

但是，在我看来，最大的幸福在于人们对其周围环境的满意程度。只要我们拥有一个愉悦的心情，我们就会幸福。我们是否幸福和我们有多少钱并没有关系。因此，人们不应该太看重钱，相反，他们应该做的是把他们的钱用在正确的途径上并保持一个乐观的态度。

1. lie in 在于

在英国英语中，lie in 还能解释为“睡懒觉”。
例: I like to lie in at weekends. 我爱在周末睡懒觉。
2. so long as 只要 = as long as
例：You may take this book away so long as you return it on time.（只要你准时把书还回来，你可以拿走它。）
As long as you tell truth , I'll try to help you.（只要你说实话，我会尽力帮助你。）
3. have nothing to do with... 与……无关
生活中要表达事不关己时就可以说：It has nothing to do with me. （那跟我有什么关系。）
