It is a commonplace among moralists that you cannot get happiness by pursuing it. This is only true if you pursue it unwisely. Gamblers at Monte Carlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead, but there are other ways of pursuing money, which often succeed. So it is with happiness. If you pursue it by means of drink, you are forgetting the hang-over. Epicurus pursued it by living only in congenial society and eating only dry bread, supplemented by a little cheese on feast days. His method proved successful in his case, but he was a valetudinarian, and most people would need something more vigorous. For most people, the pursuit of happiness, unless supplemented in various ways, is too abstract and theoretical to be adequate as a personal rule of life. But I think that whatever personal rule of life you may choose it should not, except in rare and heroic cases, be incompatible with happiness.
Man is an animal, and his happiness depends on his physiology more than he likes to think. This is a humble conclusion, but I cannot make myself disbelieve it. Unhappy businessmen, I am convinced, would increase their happiness more by walking six miles every day than by any conceivable change of philosophy.

Editor's Note
Chinese people will never forget the moment when IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch announced Beijing's success in the vote of the 2008 Olympic Games. The whole nation stired. At the same time, people were deeply impressed by Yanglan's presentation which contributes a lots to Beijing's success. Her smashing presentation delivered in authentic English embodys Chinese confidence and good expectation for the future.
What is happiness? l think happiness is having different kinds of fun!when l heard a joke that makes me laugh,l feel happy. When my friend share a piece of sweet with me,l feel happy.When l got a good grade and makes my parents happy, l feel haapy, too.lThere are so much happiness in life, we do not have to be sad all day, smile and feel happy!
I truly believe that the happiest people are those who love many things. They love children, family and friends. They love sunrises and sunsets. They love life. They have even learned to love pain and despair rather than viewing them the opposite of happiness
what is happiness
For me, the happiness is that:
When I'm sad and cry,a person can company with me.When i'm hungery ,The rice can prepared for me.
