Se Jong Lee/Cause of happiness/Tues 9am

Happiness. It is very good word but, also it is very broad word. How can you be happy. There are too many answers that it is not easy to answer. So how can you be happy? It has too many answers but there are three points to look at. These three three things are the way to become happy, in other words the cause of happiness.

First thing is to make happy detailed. For example, talking like "I'm happy if I get lots of money!" is not good phrase. How much money does you make me happy? There should be specific detail like 'hundred dolloar for a month' or 'enough money for buying a car'. You should get a specific plan. Just thinking good things are not the cause of happiness. To achieve the happiness is the cause of the happiness. So make it realistic, not idolistic. The realistic it is, the easy to get the happiness.

Also it is better that the plan for happiness is small. You can think that 'become a rich like Bill Gates' might be happy. But it is better if you think practical. For instance think 'become a rich and start with making account for late 20's' These course are making you into bill gates. So don't start with too large plan. Start with little happiness you can get from your surroundings.

It will be better if the happiness is subdivided into the particular group or field. You can be happy if you get good grade on class but also if you won the lottery. So make field plans like happy in poverty, happy in study or other things. Each field of happiness are treated differently for your importance. But systemically detailed happiness helps you to do what is priorilty.

Don't forget that the happiness will easy to get if it is easy to see, it is easy to get. So make happiness small. Make happy small doesn't make you little feeling of happiness you achieve. You can snowballing your small happiness into the larger scale of happiness and it will consequently lead you to the ultimative happiness.

  1. I think this is very well writen. You have clear points and statements, details that support your points well. Especially I like your last sentence of the conclusion 'you can snowballing your small happiness in to the larger scale of happiness...', I think it is a good closing sentence for your essay.

    But I am a bit confused with your main points of first and third body paragraph. What is the difference between 'making happiness detailed' & 'subdividing it into particular fields'? I think there's an overlap between them.
