The Causes of Happiness
How can we gain happiness? Nowadays most of the people consider
happiness is built up by money, however, people actually can't feel
warm from money. Real happiness is that when you're down, lost or feel
it hard to carry on in life, you can be hugged, supported and
encouraged. So I think family, love and friendship are the causes of
happiness.
The harmony of family causes happiness. When you're tired or feel
lonely outside, home is always the warmest place to cure your
loneliness and comfort you. You are happy and content when you are
with your family. Parents love you and ask for no repayment. They are
happy just simply because you are happy.
The sweet love causes happiness. We all expect that someone special
will appear in our life to love us heartily. That special one is like
the other part of us and we will never be afraid of being abandoned.
They let us know the definition of sweetness and happiness. Even when
our youth and beautiful appearance fade away, we are still able to
take hand with the other part of us, walking on the path, looking back
upon our life with smiles on our shrivelled faces.
Friendship also causes happiness. You can always pour out your
unhappiness to your dear friends. And they can always cheer you up and
make you happy by comforting you. When you need help, they are always
on your side and face the difficulties with you together.
In conclusion, happiness is caused by family, love and friendship.
Many people are busy pursuing money by ignoring family members, the
beloved ones and friends. Actually deeper in there heart, they're not
happy. So, why not treasuring the moment with people that you love?
Money is only material, it has no temperature. However, you can feel
warm by the hug of all your beloved ones and gain real happiness.

  1. 1. What I like about your writing is that you used many detail explanation for your thoughts.

    2. Your main point seems to be that family, love and friendship are the causes of
    happiness.

    3. The sentence stroke me powerful is Real happiness is that when you're down, lost or feel it hard to carry on in life, you can be hugged, supported and encouraged. The reason this sentence caught my eyes is that this is so true, and I agree with your opinion.

    4. I think the topic of your writing is a little bit too narrow. Family, friends and love can be under one big subject, "relationship".
    This is only my opinion, but I think you should explain more other things about the causes of happiness.

    Nice Work!

  2. It has good points about how family, friendship, and love can lead to happiness. Your points are quite clear but it would be much more stronger if it had some examples whether it is your experience or a story. Also, you might want to specify your supporting details. Concepts like friendship and love are quite broad.

    Lastly, the expression "it has no temperature" is I think somewhat too literary. It stopped me once to understand.

  3. The Causes of Happiness

    How can we gain happiness? Nowadays most of the people consider happiness is built up by money, however, people actually can’t feel warm from money. Real happiness is that when you’re down, lost or feel it hard to carry on in life, you can be hugged, supported and encouraged. On the other hand, if you always remain the positive attitude towards life, happiness is everywhere. So I think relationship like family, love and friendship are the causes of happiness. What’s more, your positive attitude also decides how happy you are.

    The harmony of family causes happiness. When you’re tired or feel lonely outside, home is always the warmest place to cure your loneliness and comfort you. You are happy and content when you are with your family. Parents love you and ask for no repayment. They are happy just simply because you are happy. When I returned home after I parted with my parents for ten months, even a bowl of noodles simply made by my mom warmed me and made me happy.

    The sweet love causes happiness. We all expect that someone special will appear in our life to love us heartily. That special one is like the other part of us, and they let us know the definition of sweetness and happiness. Even when our youth and beautiful appearance fade away, we are still able to take hand with the other part of us, looking back upon our life with smiles on our shrivelled faces.

    Friendship also causes happiness. You pour out your unhappiness to your dear friends, then they cheer you up and make you happy by comforting you. When you need help, they are always on your side and face the difficulties with you together. Actually I had difficult times struggling with the depression of losing my beloved one, but my dear friend said to me:” you’ll never be alone. I’m here. Just remember that, OK?” I was moved and I knew that with the company of her, I would” keep calm and carry on.”

    Beside the precious relationship that can make you happy, the most important element is your positive attitude. There’s a simple story that, half cup of the water, the passive people may say:” How pity, it’s only half cup left.” However, the positive people will respond differently:” How lucky, there’s still half cup of the water!” Even when we are stuck by difficulties, we are able to smile and say:” It’s not bad, difficulties can make us stronger. “By looking at the world in a positive angle, then happiness is everywhere.

    In conclusion, happiness is caused by precious relationship like family, love and friendship. You can feel warm by the hug of all your beloved ones and gain real happiness. But more importantly, remember to remain your positive attitude, then happiness will often knock on your door.
