态度与幸福

　　As is revealed in the cartoon, a boy is contemplating(认为) the true meaning of happiness. It is indeed a tough question for him: what is happiness? Making a huge sum of money, or winning true love, or keeping good health, or what? The picture is fairly thought-provoking(发人深省), which intends to convey to us this message: Due attention should be paid to the constant topic of human—happiness.

　　We can easily recognize the significance of attitude in terms of happiness. On the one hand, some have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy. Take the victims of Wen Chuan earthquake as an example, they lost their families and even something more precious, but they eventually stepped out of the pain to rebuild their home. On the other hand, people who have a relatively easy and comfortable life, and yet are essentially unhappy. Without a positive attitude or the determination to find the little happiness of life, you are destined to(注定) be grievous, no matter what kind of situation you are in.

　　Considering all the points discussed above, it is advisable that we highly value optimism and apply it in our studies and work. We are, therefore, supposed to take a rational attitude. Happiness is an attitude, not a condition, which lies in the unswerving efforts(坚持不懈的努力) to complete one’s life.

　　如图所示，一个男孩沉思着“幸福”的真正含义。这对他确实是很难回答，什么是幸福呢?挣大钱，赢得真爱，永葆健康，还是其它?这个图片令人沉思，它试图传递给我们这样一个信息：我们应该适当关注人类这个永恒的话题-幸福。

　　我们很容易就能认识到在“幸福”这个话题中“态度”的重要性。一种情况，一些人遭受了很多，但仍然很幸福。就拿汶川地震的受害者为例，他们失去了家园，甚至是更加宝贵的东西，但最终还是走出痛苦，重建了家园。而有些人过着相对惬意舒适的生活，但一点儿都不快乐。可见，如果你没有积极乐观的态度和寻找生活中小幸福的决心，不管你身处何境，都注定是悲伤的。

　　综上所述，我们应该重视乐观的态度并把它应用到我们的学习和工作中。因此，我们应该有一个合理的理念：幸福是一种态度，而不是一种条件，它的实现在于通过不断地努力让自己的人生更加完美。
