happyness There is something in the world. It has no shape, no color and no weight. It can’t be seen or touched. But everyone wants it very much. People try to get it in many ways. Some people think money means it, so they try to make more money; some people believe that knowledge can bring it to them, so they study very hard; some other people find only good health can make themselves get it, so they take part in all kinds of sports and games. Now, you may ask what on earth the mysterious (神秘的)thing is. That’s HAPPINESS. I can’t give you the exact meaning of happiness, but I’m sure if you love and help others, you’ll get it. I’ll never forget an old lady. She lives in a small house alone. It’s said that her husband and her son died in a traffic accident. What a sorrow life she has!But the old lady often helps others with a smile. Whenever it snows, she is always the first to clean the paths (小路). She looks after several children living nearby. I am one of them. I often remember the stories she told us and her kind smile. Perhaps she is unlucky, but I think she is a happy person. Her life is full of laughter and love. But I’m sad to see some people getting their happiness in bad ways. They speak loudly in cinemas and meeting rooms; they destroy (损坏) trees to enjoy themselves and they laugh at others’ shortcomings. Perhaps they feel happy at that time, but they will never get true happiness because they have destroyed others’ happiness. Now I know what happiness is. It means kindness, love and unselfishness. Above all, only bringing happiness to others can make yourself happy. Happiness Happiness is the most precious thing in the world, which can be obtained in different ways. From my point of view, being in a good mood anytime and anywhere is the first thing for those who want to be happy. There is an old saying going like this, "happy is he who is content." I can't agree with it any more. I still remember a story my mother told me when I was a child. A millionaire tried every means to seek after pleasure but to feel unhappy. It's not unique, but has its counterpart that poor men to whose name not having a thing always feel happy. Why are they so different? The answer is that the rich is being thinking how he can gain more while the poor is satisfied with what he owns at hand-health, freedom, love and so on. Furthermore, love makes great difference to happiness. If you have love in your heart, you will have happiness in your life. Love consists of two parts, one is to love others, and the other is to be loved by others. Lei Feng set a good example for all of us. He served the people wholeheartedly until the last minute of his life. He regarded serving the people as the happiest thing. There are numbers of similar inspirational stories to be found. In addition, being loved by others can also lead you to happiness. Courage from your parents when frustrated, care from your lover when ill, help from your friends when in trouble… all of these will make you the happiest person in the world. The last but not least is to act happily. Putting on a happy face and thinking interesting things are helpful to trigger happy feelings. Wile happiness is precious, it is easy to get.

happiness is like a pebble dropped into a pool to set in motion an ever-widening circle of ripples. as stevenson has said, being happy is a duty.
there is no way exact definition of the word happiness. happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons. the key is not wealth or physical well-being, since we find beggars, invalids1) and so-called failures who are extremely happy.
being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend2). but staying happy is an accomplishment, a triumph of soul and character. it is not selfish to strive for it. it is, indeed, a duty to ourselves and others.
being unhappy is like an infectious disease; it causes people to shrink away from the sufferer. he soon finds himself alone, miserable and embittered. there is, however, a cure so simple as to seem, at first glance, ridiculous: if you don’t feel happy, pretend to be!
it works. before long you will find that instead of repelling people, you attract them. you discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wide circles of good will.
then the make-believe3) becomes a reality. you possess the secret of peace of mind, and can forget yourself in being of service to others.
being happy, once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit, opens doors into unimaginable gardens thronged with grateful friends.

快乐之门
快乐就像一块为了激起阵阵涟漪而丢进池塘的小石头。正如史蒂文森所说,快乐是一种责任。
快乐这个词没有确切的定义,快乐的人快乐的理由多种多样。快乐的关键并不是财富或身体健康,因为我们发现有些乞丐、残疾人和所谓的失败者也都非常快乐。
快乐是一种意外的收获,但保持快乐却是一种成就、一种灵性的胜利。努力追寻快乐并不自私,实际上,这是我们对自己和他人应尽的责任。
不快乐就像传染病,它使得人们都躲避不快乐的人。不快乐的人很快就会发现自己处于孤独、悲惨、痛苦的境地。然而,有一种简单得看似荒谬的治病良方:如果你不快乐,就假装你很快乐!
这很有效。不久你就会发现,别人不在躲避着你了,相反,你开始吸引别人了。你会发觉,做一块能激起好意涟漪的小石头有多么值得。
然而假装就会变成了现实。你拥有了使你心灵平静的秘密,会因帮助别人而忘我。
一旦使你认识到快乐是一种责任并使快乐成为习惯,通向不可思议的乐园的大门就会向你敞开,那里满是感激你的朋友。
