World Happiness Day
世界快樂天
You guys know that song, right?
It’s a song about happiness.
Happiness is important.
It’s so important that there is even a World Happiness Day.
World Happiness Day happens on March 20th every year.
Why is there a World Happiness Day?
Well, it’s to show people that happiness is important.
快樂真的很重要。
Life can be hard.
There are lots of problems in the world and in our lives.
It’s easy to become sad. But being happy is good for us.
Here are some good reasons to try to be happy:
First,
1. happy people
get sick l
ess often than sad people.
快樂的人比較不容易生病。
And if you do get sick,
happiness can help you feel better faster.
Wow!
That’s a good reason to be happy.
2.Second,
happy people are usually more successful than people
who are not happy.
快樂的人比較有成功。
They often have better jobs and make more money.
Third, happy people have more friends.
快樂的人朋友比較多!
That makes sense.
Who would you rather be with? A happy person or a sad person?
So, how can you be happier?
2. Happy people try to
look at the good things
in their lives,
not the bad things.
For example,
they think,
“I have a nice bicycle and some good friends.
” An unhappy person might say,
“My bike is not as good as my neighbor’s,
and I don’t have many friends.”
See the difference?
3.If you see the good things,
you are called an “optimist.”
If you always see the bad things,
you are a “pessimist.”
What do you think, are you an optimist or pessimist?
你很樂觀還是悲觀?
No matter which one you are,
we can all always try to be just a little bit
happier!
