Money and success alone do not bring lasting(持久的) happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.The first secret (秘密) of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the futurefor example, getting into college or getting a good jobthat we fail to enjoy the present(現(xiàn)在). You should enjoy lifes simple pleasures (快樂), such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies. They can help you forget your problems and time. Many people enjoy dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for people who are older than you , or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.65.
