Happiness is a kind of emotion of enjoyment and satisfaction, and it can be described in many ways. To me, happiness is to enjoy my life, overcome the difficulties I meet, and have the people I love around me.

Enjoying my life is the source of my happiness. There are many ways for me to enjoy my life such as eating a big meal after the final exam, going to the baseball field to watch an exciting game, and the most important of all: having a positive attitude to every situation I am in. In the third year of junior high school, I was very sad because I was afraid that I could not pass the high school entrance exam, and I wanted to give up preparing for that exam. Fortunately, I met a good English teacher, and she told me that if I changed my negative attitude to a positive one, and seized every moment to prepare for that exam, I would pass it. Magically, I really became happier and passed that exam after I did what my English teacher had told me. From that time, I always take positive attitude toward every situation I am in, and seize every moment I have because it really helps me to enjoy my life.

People may meet many difficulties in their whole lives, and overcoming these difficulties may be suffering to some people. On the contrary, overcoming these difficulties is a kind of happiness to me. To tell the truth, the process of overcoming the difficulties is tiring and weary, but I always find some small pleasures in the process. That is, I can learn more experiences and knowledge from overcoming the difficulties. In addition, the feeling of achievement is happiness. Every time when I finally conquer my difficulties, I will have a happy feeling that I can really accomplish something, and I can defeat myself once again. Overcoming the difficulties really brings me happiness because it can teach me a lot of things.

Besides enjoying my life and overcoming difficulties, the greatest happiness to me is having the people I love around me. The year before last year, my mother got severe cancer in her left breast, and she only got fifty percentage of opportunity to live. Luckily, my mother’s operation was successful, and I suddenly realized that every person I love is everything to me, and I will never be happy if any person I love leaves me. Besides, I am happy when I share all my things with the people I love whether these things are good or bad. For example, my good friends and I always have a talk in our free time, and we always have the same feeling about what makes us happy and sad with each other. This kind of consensus gives me a lot of happiness because I can have such like-minded good friends.

There is a saying that if a person chooses to be happy, then the world around him/her will be happy; if a person chooses to be sad, then he/she will be the only one who is sad. Happiness is everywhere, and it depends on everyone’s attitude toward life. Therefore, I will always try to pursue happiness by enjoying my own life, overcoming all the difficulties I meet, and having the people I love be around me. If I can do these well, I will have happiness in my future life.
