Three Main Reasons of Happiness
Happiness is just like a " final goal" for all living people. So what is happiness? There are a lot of answers to this question, as different people have different opinions. According to Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary, here is the definition of happiness: a state of well-being and contentment, a pleasurable or satisfying experience. Then, what are the main reasons of happiness in our daily life? There are also a lot of answers to this question. Based on the definition of happiness on Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary, i think the three main reasons of happiness are as followings:
To begin with, Happiness lies first of all in health. Only when we have a healthy body can we do other things. Happiness is just like a beautiful garden, and health is the key to open the door. If you want to enjoy the flower, and feel the fragrance of them, you must try to open the door first. If you want to be happy, you must take care of your own health. A healthy body is the best thing God can give us. Bad health will destroy everything. Some of you may say that Helen Keller is disabled and ask that isn't she happy? Well, to answer this you have to know that health includes both physical health and mental health. With a perfect mental health condition, she overcame the difficulty she had on her physical condition. Life is a long journey. Obstacles and hardships occur from time to time. If one day, physical health are taken away from us, what should we do ? Nobody wants to see happiness run away because of this.When we face physical disability or other diseases, we should not fear and quit. We should belike Helen Keller, smile to them and face them confidently. Only in that way can we always be happy.
Second, an positive attitude is really important to happiness in our life. A positive person smiles a
lot, even if they are in some situation that is annoying. This is because positive people have the experience that no matter how they feel, if they keep positive , this optimism is going to make them seel much better. This is because positive people in difficulty situations use optimism as a reminder of the good things in their life, and it helps them to remember all the strengths, talents, passions, interests their life, then they may stay hopeful and don not give up. Human beings are special because we can remember the past and think about the future. This makes optimism an important tool for us to gey happiness .
Third, happiness is caused by giving something nice to someone else. Helping other people increases our feeling of self-worth, and also make other people's life easier. By helping others, we can get friendship and respect from other people. Hold the elevator open for someone when they are rushing to the elevator, tell your workmates that they are doing great in their jobs, give away your seat to some old people when you are on a bus or train, do some volunteer work for kids who can not afford going to school. No matter how much you helped others, and no matter you know these persons or not, seeing their happy faces or hearing their thankful words actually makes you happier. Happy people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unhappy people are always asking, "What's in it for me?" Please remember, if you make someone happy, and at the same time, you are made happy.
To sum up, both mental and phthisical health, an positive attitude and helping others are the main causes for happiness in people's everyday life. Health conditions make sure that it is possible for any one to feel the feeling of happiness, and an positive attitude keeps us away from losing
happiness when in difficulties. On the other hand, giving something nice to other is our main way to gain happiness. However, we have to understand besides this three main reasons, there are still some other causes for happiness, such as a strong religious belief, experience, success in a career, happy marriage, trying new things , and so on.。
