Happiness is for everyone, and you don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with and swimming pools or those who have nice cars a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in at school, your friends will help you; when you study at your lessons, your parents are always good care of your life and your health; when you get , your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice those things, you can see that happiness is always you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor you can also say you are very happy because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy because you have more chances to yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor or you have bad luck. As the saying goes: Life is like a revolving(转动的)door. When it , it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
