Happiness is the most important in our life
Happiness is the most important in our life
In my opinion, I think happiness is the most important in our life,
Because happiness is the sign of our life.
Nobody can say he fells very good without happiness in his life except he is a superman. I think our life is so short we must treasure our time so the beat way is that you can try to keep smiling to face every difficult situation.
I have a friend who is seldom smile in her life .I can see the same face every day when I meet each other. Sometimes I asked her why she seldom smiles. She said she didn’t know what can make her happy.
Do you think it is good to life in a monotonous life ---- no happy, no
successful felling and no friendship .I don’t know what you think about it but I think if I were the person I would try to change my lifestyle ,if not I think died is more better than this .
Young people have the more energy than elder so we must have the more happiness in our life even though you are in the difficult situation.
I have the experience that I tried to change my life what made me very uncomfortable before. I am proud to tell you I succussed .I am very happy now, Nothing can make me unhappy .I think this is my lifestyle what can make me comfortable. I love my lifestyle.

The world is becoming obsessed with money and all things material. From the size of your house, the type of car and even where you travel on your holidays, some people are trying to go one better do their friends and family.
Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life's Most Important Skill

Wealth
(Measured by average purchasing power). This is obviously an important measure of the material competence to satisfy basic needs. It is interesting to note that the correlation between purchasing power and happiness becomes less important for more wealthy societies, implying that once the basic material needs of nutrition and shelter are satisfied, further prosperity adds little to happiness.
Access to knowledge
(Measured by literacy, school enrolment and media attendance). This obviously reflects the component of cognitive competence.
Personal freedom
People are more satisfied in societies which minimally restrict their freedom of action, in other words, where they are in control rather than being controlled. This is again a form of material competence.
Equality
This factor is somewhat less pronounced. Social inequality implies less control for those who are in the weaker position, and more risks of losing their privileges for those in the stronger position.
> On the individual level, the differences in happiness between people living in the same society depend on their situation and on their personal characteristics:
Health
Life-satisfaction tends to be larger among those that are in good physical and mental health. Inversely, happy people are much less likely to fall ill and die than unhappy people ( Blakeslee & Grossarth-Maticek). This directly reflects the strong correlation between happiness and biological fitness.
Psychological characteristics
Happy people are characterized by the belief that they are able to control their situation, whereas unhappy people tend to believe that they are a toy of fate. This reflects what we have called subjective competence. Happy people are also more psychologically resilient, assertive, empathetic and open to experience. These are all features which, according to our theory of self-actualization (Heylighen, 1992), accompany the perceived competence to satisfy needs.
Social position
Happiness is more common among those that have intimate ties (e.g. marriage) and that participate in various organizations. This reflects the degree to which people manage to satisfy their social needs, and get better control of their own situation by relying on the support of others. Occupationally, happiness tends to be more common among professionals and managers, that is, people who are in control of the work they do, rather than subservient to

australian history
Mood:  bright

William Dampier became the first British explorer to land on the Australian.
on 26 January 1788, and it is on this day every year that Australia Day is celebrated.
The First World War had a devastating impact on Australia. In 1914 the male population of Australia was less than 3 million, yet almost 400 000 of them volunteered to fight in the war. As many as 60 000 died and tens of thousands more were wounded.
Today Australia is one of the most cosmopolitan and dynamic societies in the world. Over 200 languages are spoken, with English the common language. The nation has thriving ethnic media, an international business reputation, an innovative artistic community, diverse religious and cultural activities and variety in foods, restaurants, fashion and architecture.

dragon boat
Now Playing: what is history of dragon boat
Topic: duanwu festival
hi everyone
Boating is very famous in china.I like boating very mush .I was often boating with my friends when i was young .It is very exciting when you see dragon boat race. In my city many young peopel like boating .But I do not what is the history of dragon boat ,and you .
Even though this I want to still tell you the answer,because I am a chinese.
now ,let me tell you a story about why china must held dragon boat evry year.
Qu Yuan was a minister in the government of the state of Chu, descended of nobility and a champion of political loyalty and truth eager to maintain the Chu state's sovereignty. Qu Yuan advocated a policy of alliance with the other kingdoms of the period against the hegemonic state of Qin, which threatened to dominate them all. The Chu king, however, fell under the influence of other corrupt, jealous ministers who slandered Qu Yuan, and banished his most loyal counselor. It is said that Qu Yuan returned first to his family's home town. In his exile, he spent much of this time collecting legends and rearranging folk odes while travelling the countryside, producing some of the greatest poetry in Chinese literature while expressing his fervent love for his state and his deepest concern for its future.

According to legend, his anxiety brought him to an increasingly troubled state of health; during his depression, he would often take walks near a certain well, during which he would look upon his reflection in the water and be his own person, thin and gaunt. In the legend, this well became known as the "Face Reflection Well." Today on a hillside in Xiangluping in Hubei province's Zigui, there is a well which is considered to be the original well from the time of Qu Yuan.

In 278 BC, learning of the capture of his country's capital, Ying, by General Bai Qi of the state of Qin, Qu Yuan is said to have written the lengthy poem of lamentation called "Lament for Ying" and later to have waded into the Miluo river in today's Hunan Province holding a great rock in order to commit ritual suicide as a form of protest against the corruption of the era.
Local people, learning of his suicide, rushed out in their fishing boats to the middle of the river and tried desperatedly to save him, but were unsuccessful. In order to keep fish and evil spirits away from his body, they beat drums and splashed the water with their paddles. They later scattered rice into the water as a food offering to Qu Yuan and to distract the fish from his body. However, late one night, the spirit of Qu Yuan appeared before his friends and told them that the rice meant for him was being intercepted by a huge river dragon. He asked his friends to wrap their rice into three-cornered silk packages to ward off the dragon. These packages became a traditional food known as zongzi, although the lumps of rice are wrapped in bamboo leaves instead of silk. The act of searching for his body in boats gradually became a cultural tradition of dragon boat racing, which is held on the anniversary of his death every year.
What do you think about this ? but I think quyuan is the bravest man in the world .
I think if you make a unusual things even thongh you died by many reasons but you still in many people's head,because your deed is never disappear from people's head.

The famous Japanese dragon king is Ryo-Wo, who is responsible for the element of water to the Japanese. He holds the Tidal Jewels, which controls the tides of the world. Furthermore, Ryo-Wo is also credited with giving the Jelly fish its shape.
Chinese Dragon king responsible for the element of fire.7 Many speak of the four main dragon kings of China - Ao Ch'in (Ao Chin), Ao Jun, Ao Kuang, and Ao Shun.
