　　It doesn't matter how many yachts you have, what your title is, how much money you make, how many awards you got in life

　　The day you die if you've been running everything tight

　　在你临死的那一天你仍然紧张地处理着一切

　　but another person is out on the streets homeless, smiling, telling jokes, having a fun time who would you rather be when you die?

　　而另外一个人则在外面的大街上无家可归 面带笑容讲着笑话 过着快乐的时光 你在临死的时候愿意做哪个人？

　　And I decided¹ I'd rather be the fun person

　　So H equals S minus F, happiness equals smiles minus frowns

　　所以说H等于S减F 快乐等于微笑减皱眉

　　Easy one. It led me to formulas in my life to avoid things that would eventually make me frown

　　Try to set yourself up so that things can happen not the way you would prefer but it doesn't necessarily have to make you frown

　　照顾好你自己 事情虽然不一定会按照你更喜欢的方式去发生 但它并不一定会让你皱眉

　　I modified that formula in later years to H equals F cubed

　　还有朋友 那些你在生活中可以与之分享想法 给你提供想法 启发你 支持你的人 我有一次在我的高中说过这话 孩子们都笑了

　　I had to admit there might be a fourth F

　　我不得不承认可能还有第四个F

　　I was lucky to have a car here at Berkeley and I would drive groups of us down so many of us in my little Pinto some would crouch² down in the footwell of the passenger seat
