ESSAY 3: HAPPINESS

Happiness is a state of mind that comes from finding joy in a simple moment. Life is a

bunch of challenges, where we need to face to a variety of tasks from easy to tough. And

the ability to overcome these obstacles is highly crucial for success.

“There is no path to happiness. Happiness is the main path." This saying evokes many

emotions and thoughts about happiness. What is happiness? Happiness is a feeling of joy

and satisfaction when achieving a certain goal. It is an emotion that everyone experiences in

life, like a sweet spice that makes life more peaceful and beautiful. If you don't feel

happiness, life becomes bland and sad. Each person has their own concept of happiness. For

some people, happiness comes from achieving great success at work, while for others,

happiness comes from simple everyday things, even just the smiles of loved ones, meals.

warmth with family, or sleep after a hard day's work. Whether big or small, happiness is still

important to the life of each individual as well as the community. Happiness brings the soul

peace, satisfaction, and is a solid foundation to help us pursue bigger dreams. A country

with a high happiness index will also improve and make people's lives happier. Therefore,

the young generation needs to clearly recognize the true meaning of happiness and make

every effort to achieve happiness, first for themselves and then for the whole community.

We ourselves, the young generation, need to constantly improve our intelligence and

perfect ourselves to be able to firmly walk on the path of finding and sharing happiness in
life. Happiness also helps the body be healthy, full of energy and excited spirit when we

always nurture positive 'vitamins' and eliminate things that cause anxiety and pressure in

life.

Having happiness means having another good lifestyle such as living responsibly, with

will, energy, ideals, harmony and friendliness with the environment and nature. We also

constantly strive to improve ourselves and achieve success, be loved and respected by

everyone, and build good relationships with those around us. For society, happiness will

create a community and a civilized society both materially and spiritually, where there is

love and peace between people, as well as between people and nature and the

environment. It is also a society where people face difficulties together, share and try to

overcome challenges. Happiness is not far away, it exists right in everyday life, whether in

Vietnam or in any country in the world, like Finland - the top place in happiness. They are

not the wealthiest country, but in Finland we see people's trust and love for their

government and each other, regardless of native or immigrant status. They live friendly,

gentle, free and generous lives. According to a report of “Happiness Index”, by New

Economics Foundation (NEF), an independent organization based in the UK:

“Vietnam ranks 5th in the world and 2nd in Asia in terms of happiness index. This is proof of

a nation that always knows how to overcome difficulties with optimism, solidarity and

sharing. Despite facing many challenges, from economic to social, the Vietnamese national

spirit is always bright. Solidarity, sharing and resilience are valuable qualities of Vietnamese

people. We have witnessed these values not only in everyday life but also in iconic
moments, such as at the 2018 AFC U23 Championship” Especially proud that Vietnam ranks

5th in the happiness index in the world and 2nd in Asia. Despite facing many difficulties and

challenges, the Vietnamese national spirit remains forever, solidarity and sharing are

qualities worth appreciating. Like U23 Vietnam at the 2018 U23 Asia Championship,

although not expected too much, they created a miracle with national spirit, harmony and

solidarity between people who are not biological brothers but are the same. bloodline. They

created unprecedented miracles in the history of Vietnamese football and established a

resounding achievement, ranking 2nd in glory. Happiness brings many benefits, but in

today's society, people live in a hurry and are engrossed in work, sometimes skipping time

for family, children, etc. Even though they work for their family. and loved ones but they

may not feel happy. Or there are people who live in sadness, despair and lose faith in life,

not understanding the meaning of happiness and why it is necessary to be happy.

Sometimes it is influenced by circumstances, such as lack of family love, growing up feeling

cold from relatives and never feeling love. Or they are betrayed by the people they love,

causing them to lose happiness.

However, happiness is not achieved by violating others, satisfying personal needs

without regard for others, or spoiling the happiness of others. Such people deserve to be

condemned, as they only care about their own happiness, without love and sharing with

others. Such a way of life will prevent them from receiving appreciation and respect from

those around them, as well as from achieving real success.To have a happy life, turn to the

pages of books. Books will share with you joy and encourage you when you feel sad and

tired.
 Happiness doesn't have to be complicated. Appreciate the simple things, because

when they are lost, they are hard to get back. Life is like a song, with ups and downs.

Happiness is an important part of the picture of our life.Everyone has their own concept of

happiness. It can be simple things like living in life every day.Happiness is not always far

away. Sometimes, it just needs to be moments with family, smiles from children, and even

tears of joy from loved ones.To achieve happiness, we need to remember that it is not

external conditions but our spirit that determines. You are the key that opens the door to

happiness.True happiness is when we live for others and share our joy. Let's appreciate the

simple things we have.“Happiness as the key to success” why people have this quote?.

Many people claim that happy can not make a person become success but the disappointed

and the failure does. So why some may assume the later and some may reckon the former?.

“Happiness” helps people be more stable, which can bring better ideas. And even when

people are going through a difficult time, being happy is the key to opening new doors for

them. This state of happiness makes it easier for people to see things more positively and

bring more new ideas. Moreover, happiness also helps improve relationships, assisting

relationships to become stronger. People often try to interact with people with positive

relationships rather than negative ones. And having good relationships with others is an

equally important part of becoming successful, whether in a normal or luxurious life,

relationships are also an equally important key to success. make success. And being happy

or bringing joy to others is the fastest way to build relationships. For example, a happy

leader can inspire and motivate their teammates. These close relationships are the

networks that help people achieve success.
