Lan Lan smiled:' what are you afraid of? For sure, you're going to die sometime anyway 驾诈。Whether you're afraid of death or not, you die just the same. Whether you live happy or sad, you still live. Of course, it's better to get some enjoyment out of life if you can. I've thought about it, and I reckon we live through our feelings. What we see as good or bad luck is really just how we feel about life. If we feel good, then we feel we're lucky. If we feel good all our lives, then we're lucky all our lives too . We can't change the world, but we can change the way we feel, don't you think?
Ying began to see Lan Lan in a new light. Her companion seemed to have changed a lot recently. Ying couldn't have had those thoughts herself. Thoughts like these, whether joyful or depressing,came from Lan Lan's own heart. People have value because of their feelings, thought Ying. If people really cultivated tranquility, that made them boring狠角。（Page 116)
蘭蘭卻笑道讲仰，你怕啥资昧，要真免不了死的話，你怕也是死焦匈，不怕也是死德绿。就像你活一輩子，你笑也是活玫鸟，你哭也是活导绷，不如開開心心，自得其樂一輩子，你說是不夺荒？又說速梗，我想透了，人其實活個心情逾一，那幸福呀痛苦呀，其實都是心情肮雨。心情好了遵堵，人就幸福。有一輩子的好心情怨规，就等于有了一輩子的幸福陌宿。我們沒辦法改變世界，但總能改變自己的心情波丰，你說是不壳坪？
瑩兒對蘭蘭真有些刮目相看了。她發(fā)現蘭蘭近年的變化真大掰烟，像方才這番話她是想不出的爽蝴。細想來，陶醉她的纫骑，或是折磨她的蝎亚，還是她自己的心情。又想先馆，其實人的價值发框，不也是那點兒心情嗎？要是真修得心靜如水煤墙，也許會少了許多做人的滋味的梅惯。(摘自《深夜的蠶豆聲》412頁）
