"Hello, father. Finally, I could come here to visit you. Sorry for not coming sooner, as I promised. Don't worry, son. You look happy to see me. That's not very common. Hahaha."
Yeah, I know. What happens is that the advice you gave me last time I was here, it really worked for me. I could solve my problem, and I want to thank you, and I want to hear more. I'm so happy you could solve that problem. So do you want to hear more live(活的) advice? Yes, that you have a lot of experience since you are old.
Hahaha. Well, and maybe you're right. Soon I will leave this world, and it's a great idea to pass on my experience and knowledge to the next generation(一代). So I will give you the best life advice. The number one is stop trying to feel happy. You should strive(努力) for happiness(幸福), but trying to feel happy is a losing strategy.
The truth(真理) is you can't self(自己)-help yourself into a perfect life, and it's impossible for humans to feel happy all the time, understanding that, and instead taking conscious(意识到的) actions. Actions that make your day-to-day life more joyful(十分喜悦的) is the key to true happiness(幸福). What I mean is if you have to try to be cool, you will never be cool. Do you understand? If you have to try to be happy, then you will never be happy. People these days are just trying too hard.
It is temporary(暂时的). Always. So live the moment. Those temporary moments. Other advice I want you to know is don't make impossible affirmations. Affirmations create belief(相信) traps(陷阱), standing(站立) in the mirror and saying "I'm a gorgeous( 华丽的) model" will only make you feel more inner(内部的) turmoil because you won't believe the words you're saying.
Instead of affirmations, trade(交易) up to realistic(现实的) beliefs(相信) that you can accept "I look amazing for my age." What I mean is do not exaggerate(夸大). You could think it makes you feel better, but no. Being realistic is the best option.
