Happiness depends on ourselves幸福取决于我们自己

Most of us have experienced the feeling of happiness. But a few people have never thought about what the happiness depends on. A famous philosopher Wihelm V on Humboldt once said 'I am more and more convinced that our happiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life, than on the nature of those events themselves.' Notions toward it differ from person to person. To be honest, I can't agree with this idea any more.From my point of view, I think that personal happiness largely depends on the way you respond to what happens.
Some of them may feel happy if they are successful, some of them may think happiness is related to money and some of them think happiness relies on the things themselves.However,money and success alone did not bring lasting happiness. The truth is that happy or not is mostly decided by the way towards the things.I have heard a story,which impressed me deeply. The story mainly talked about an old lady who has suffered a lot, and she lost her husband and son in the Second World War. But she still felt happy for she kept the happy spirit and had a positive attitude. Helping other people to do something that she could do, cherishing her own life. There is no indisputable that her happiness depends on her way respond to what had happened. That is to say, happiness is not decided on the events themselves.
Happiness is the most precious thing in the world, which can be obtained in different ways. At last but not the least, if you are happy with life,as the
same way. Life also will give you happiness.Being positive about the things around you, remembering to smile when you talk with somebody, enjoying the simple things in your life. Consequently, we can make our own happiness.。
