Seeking for Happiness

Seeking for Happiness

  I used to sign my QQ personal massage with “seeking for happiness”, for I didn’t think I really got the enjoyment of life at that time. So what is happiness? you may ask. In my understanding, happiness is a state of mind that can be achieved by three main factors------success, good relationship, giving or receiving help.
Success, for sure, can make one happy. I’m sure everyone has experienced the great, excited feeling of achieving one’s goal, even if it is only a small one, such as accomplishment of a day’s plan. This feeling of happiness comes more directly, while I don’t think it can give a stronger sense of fulfillment than the latter two.
As an old saying goes, if one give a flower to someone, he will have the sweet flavor remaining in his hand. When I was very young, I was educated about giving seat to the elders on the bus. I didn’t understand it until one time I really did so. I gave out my seat to a grandpa and received a “ thank you”. At that moment, I felt so happy without knowing the reason. I felt like a hero at whom everyone on the bus were staring respectfully. Now I wonder whether it is the giving or the receiving that made me so happy.
Every day, we feel the warm sunlight, breathe the fresh air, enjoy the beautiful outside world that the nature gives us as a present. We can feel the happiness, so we can convey it to others without losing anything, or rather, gaining more happiness in return.
Human is a kind of social animal, which cannot live happily without a good relationship. If one is too selfish to let others to share hisr happiness, then no one will come to share his sorrow in return. A few words from a friend can melt the ice in one’s heart. A hug can give one strenth to walk out of misery. Any tiny tenderness given from one’s friends can remove his loneliness and drag him back into life.
As a matter of fact, no kind of happiness can last forever, for time won’t stop at any particular moment, no matter how one wish it could. So we have to learn to gain it from time to time, by setting goals for ourselves, doing favors for others, and making more friends whenever possible.

The 1st Paragraph "I used to sign my QQ personal massage with “seeking for happiness”, for I didn’t think I really got the enjoyment of life at that time. Then what is happiness by the way? One cannot seek for something that he doesn’t know what it is. In my understanding, happiness is a state of mind that can be achieved by three main factors------success, good relationship, giving or receiving help."_________can be improved in this way: I used to sign my QQ personal massage with “seeking for happiness”, for I didn’t think I really got the enjoyment of life at that time.
