We humans have a built-in drive to be happy. Unfortunately, life doesn't always cooperate. Stuff happens that causes us to feel angry, discouraged, afraid, ashamed, depressed - the list is endless. However, we don't have to resign ourselves to our circumstances. I personally feel that life isn't fair at all, though it is still good. So how can you get happiness and maintain it?

I think happiness is different for everybody . For example , child think eat suger is happiness . Students think get a good score is happiness. and so on. So first think what shall i want ,and then try my best to do it . Maybe its hard ,but don't give up . At last i think we will find the happiness.

When desires are fulfilled at least to a certain extent, happiness and contentment set in. On the other hand when sadness and misfortune reign supreme it is all frustration and unhappiness.
