Have you ever had problems in your life and don’t know how to be happy? If so, you will find “Being a Happy Teenager（青少年）”written by an Australian writer Andrew Matthews useful.
In his book, Matthews tells us how to have a happy life and answers the questions of teenagers.
The book says we should stop being angry. The book also tells us about some useful skills. For example, if you want to make your memory better, you can put what you’ve learned into pictures of your mind. Many teenagers think that happiness comes from good grades of praise from other people. But you can still be happy when there are no such “good” things.
Success comes from a good attitude（态度）. If you learn from problems, you will have success in the future. Some school boys have problems, such as being too tall or too short. But Matthews tells us that happiness comes from thinking about things in a positive（积极地）way.
If you are tall, you can get a better view（视线） at the movie; if you are short, your clothes and shoes take less room in your bedroom! This is Matthew’s most important lesson: You choose to be happy!
