In my eyes helping others is happiness
Happiness changes when age changes. It is toy or candy in children’s eyes. It is money or honor in ambitious young men’s eyes. It is peaceful life or family in elder people’s eyes. However, there is always one kind of happiness in my eyes --- making others happy.

When I was a child, I was told that a good man would gain his happiness. What is a good man? A good man will be happy for other’s happiness, sad for other’s sadness. Then I began to learn how to bring happiness to others.

Helping others is a good way. Any little thing you do for others will cause big satisfaction you can’t imagine. A smile or “thank you” from the person you help will be the best reward. We often hear that people who contribute their money to help the poor seem to be the more happy than those who lock theirs in the safe. But it is not necessary to be the superman to save the falling plane. An assistance to older people may have the same effect. It is so simple.

Don’t force others to obey your rules of happiness. There is a story. A boy fell in love with a girl. At the beginning, happiness surrounded them just as all lovers. Later they had different ideas and quarreled. The boy didn’t want to give up his happy memory of love while the girl wanted to break up. At this time, the boy’s father told him, “If you can’t bring happiness to the girl any more, neither of you will be happy.” Then the boy abandoned his selfishness. At last they were still good friends after breaking up. We see other’s faces more than ourselves, so we are affected easily by others’ mood. How could you be happy if others are not?

In a word, to be a good man who brings happiness to others is good for yourself.
