On Happiness

Happiness is something which every one longs for and is sought by him，and yet few find true happiness. True happiness can only be obtained by proper means.

In the first place，true happiness comes from hard work. How happy a student is when he has passed his examinations. His happiness is the result of his hard and diligent study. In society，the same principle holds true. It is these who work hard，not those who are idle and lazy that get the reward of life in the end.

In the second place，happiness comes from frugality. There are people who spend their money lavishly. It makes them happy only temporarily. Frugality makes a poor man rich. Extravagance makes a rich man poor.

Thirdly，happiness can be obtained through willpower. There is nothing hard in this world but person lacks a strong will. Many a great man and woman perform meritorious service to his country and is deservedly respected by his or her people simply because he possesses an iron will and steady effort. Willpower，therefore，is essential to happiness.
