Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle（亚里士多德） said. “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are some pieces of advice to help you be happier.
To enjoy simple things in life is meaningful. We often spend so much time thinking about the future—getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy simple pleasures, such as reading an interesting book or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live better.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies which make you forget your worries and time. Many people experience this by dancing or playing sports, such as swimming. You can forget your worries and only think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness from helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, be helpful to someone. You can help a friend with his or her subjects, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help with housework.
