No one can be "seriously funny" like the British

I really like British comedy more and more, and no country is so vivid in the interpretation of "a serious and funny" than a corrupt country. The latter is too hypocritical, but the definition of happiness recorded in his notebook is still quite good. The record is here, and you can review it later:

1.Making comparisons can spoil your happiness.

People who always like to compare don't feel happy.

2.A lot of people think happiness means being richer or more important.

Many people think that being rich and famous is happiness.

3.Many people only see happiness in the future.

Many people think that happiness is only in the future.

4.Happiness could be the freedom to love more than one woman at the same time.

Happiness may mean falling in love with two women at the same time. (Later he crossed it out)

5.Sometimes happiness is not knowing the whole story.

Happiness sometimes comes from deception.

6.Avoiding unhappiness...is not the way to happiness.

Escape from misfortune does not mean happiness.

7.Does this person bring you predominantly A) up or B) down?

This person usually brings you happiness? Still painful?

8.Happiness is answering your call.

Happiness is loyalty to one's vocation.

9.Happiness is being loved for who you are.

Happiness is because someone falls in love with the real you.

10. Sweet potato stew!

Eat a big pot of stewed potatoes!

11. Fear is an impediment to happiness.

Fear keeps happiness out of the door.

12. Happiness is feeling completely alive.

To be happy is to be alive.

13. Happiness is knowing how to celebrate.

Happiness is knowing how to revel.

14.Listening is loving.

Listening is love.

15.Nostalgia is not what it used to be.

Nostalgia does not mean going back to the past.

    The chicken soup for the soul in pursuit of the source of happiness, and the silly adventures, may not necessarily be exchanged for a knowing smile. After all, not every protagonist is Forrest Gump or Bean, especially the first class section is like Wang Baoqiang's upper body. A glimpse of Asia, Africa and America, the slapstick comedy is barely watchable, but as a philosophy of life, it is arrogant and deliberate. If you like it, there are only the yellow plane and the lost starling in the title, and the old people on the beach many years later.

Hector and the Search for Happiness quotes

  • Professor Coreman: We should concern ourselves, not so much with the pursuit of happiness, but with the happiness of pursuit.

    [class laughs and applauds]

  • Professor Coreman: [narrating] One upon a time, there was a young psychiatrist called Hector, who was very satisfied with his life.

    Hector: [to stewardess] Far be it for me, and forgive me for asking, and I don't mean to pry, but can this plane go any faster?

    Professor Coreman: His world was complex, sometimes even chaotic. And he liked it that way. He took comfort in the rich, random patterns of his life. He listened to his patients with real patience.

    [chuckling about an encounter]

    Professor Coreman: Oh ho, see what I mean? Sometimes with surprising results.

    Hector: [trying on a castle guard's hat] It looks... it looks acceptable.
