If you cannot be grateful for what you have received, then be thankful for what you have been spared.
Old Yiddish Proverb
如果你不能感激你所得到的，那麼感謝你所倖免的。
If a person cannot appreciate what they have been given, then at least appreciate what they haven’t suffered. For example, “I am unhappy because I live in a small apartment. I look out of the window and see a man in a wheelchair who lost his legs in a car accident. I am grateful I still have legs."
假如做不到時常心懷感恩，至少學會有幸沒有受苦，例如：「我常覺得不快樂，因為總是住在小房子，但若從窗外看到一位因為交通意外而失去雙腳，坐在輪椅上的人時，至少我要慶幸我仍有雙腳。」
