I believe that most of us had been “questioned” by our parents or relatives basically about “how much do you earn a month” or “have you gotten promoted”. But few of them care about that if we are living a happy life.
Concerning such phenomenon, a question comes to my mind: what is happiness?
As American president Franklin Roosevelt said,“ People are happy only because they think they are.”
Different kinds of people enjoy different kinds of happiness. To the chairman, nation’s harmony and prosperity is happiness. To retailers, selling more goods and having more customers is happiness. To the police, getting guilt punished and society’s stability is happiness. To beggars, away from starvation is happiness.
We will feel happy when we receive greetings and wishes. A few words like “Happy new year!” or “Merry Christmas” could be pretty delightful. But not all greetings and wishes lead to happiness.

If there is no sadness, then how could we be able to measure happiness?
People never give up the pursuit of happiness. They work hard in order to own a cosy life. They take morning exercises in order to keep healthy. They go on a trip in order to release the tension of emotion…
However, the whole world’s happiness is much more essential than the one’s.
It’s everyone’s duty to make the world full of love.
Actually, we are making move. I can see that more and more people start paying attention to the poor. A lot of Hope Projects emerged as well as charity organizations.
I have a dream that one day when an old man falls down in the middle of the street, passers-by will give a hand instead of walking away.
I believe that one day happiness will exist in every corner of
