The Internet, mobile phones and ipads are part of our lives now. Technology is greatly affecting all ways of our lives, from the ways we work to the ways we play. And it even causes a number of social problems such as cloning(克隆) humans.

Happiness is important for everyone . (1) Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success don’t bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves.
Some people believe that if they are rich, they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can’t be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.
Here are a few ways to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, making enough money or getting a good job, that we don’t enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book or spending time with families.
The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people travel or play sports. People can forget about their problems by doing the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. (2) 如果你想感到更幸福，就请为他人做一些好事吧。You can help a classmate with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house.
Now maybe you know how to find happiness!
