    Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker,said, "Happiness depends on yourselves." In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help us be happier.

    The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future ,for example, getting into college or getting a good job. As a result, we fail to enjoy the present.We should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to our 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 having hobbies can make us forget our problems. Many people enjoy dancing, swimming, running and so on.We can forget about our problems, and only think about the activities. Finally, many people find happiness while helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If we want to feel happier, do some good things for someone. We can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help around the house by washing the dishes.
