Question: What are the little things in life that make you happy?
As for me,there are so many things that can make me happy .
When you suddenly wake up in the morning , and look at the phone ,finding that you can sleep for another half an hour.
Drink a cold soda when you're sweaty and extremely thirsty .
Receive postcards or gifts from friends on ordinary days .
Run across an old friend in a distant land .
I looked up unconsciously and saw beautiful clouds in the sky .
How to get happiness?
1. Reasonable beliefs. It contains the wish of pursuing a better life.
2. The attitude toward people and other things. We should be interested in everything that exists in our daily life, which can help us have more chances to communicate with others.
3. We should love each other and accept other people.
4. Try to find your interests in the job. If you could make progress in the job, you would be happier to do it harder.
5. Develop a good hobby. We can do something we’d like to do in our spare time. It is helpful to the balance of job and life, and we could relax ourselves better. So it would be a good way to get happiness.
6. Learn to tolerate something unsatisfactory in our life. If we could do it,there will be less complaints.

Why we definehappiness as this way?:
1.We often want to find happiness in our life, thinking that we can get happiness if we get a car, a house and other material satisfaction, but many times when we get these things, we find that we are not as happy as we imagined.
How could this happen?
Happiness isn’t decided by our social status,but our mental state.
Actually . "Tender Moment" is an attitude of life, it lies in your own perception of happiness.
For happiness lies not in the quantity, but in the capacity to feel it.
A person without the ability to perceive happiness, no matter how much he gets, he is not happy; a perception of happiness, no matter how ordinary he is, he would be happy. The so-called "small but happy", is to treat the seemingly boring little things in life with a serious and interesting attitude, and experience the pleasures that small, may be not easy to find in life.
2. The importance of happiness:
The scientists find that happiness is related to one's success,and it's beneficial to be a happy man.
As there are so many benefits when you’re a happy man.Why should we not be happy?
"Not many things contribute to our happiness more than generosity."
-- Tal Ben-Shahar, PHD.
We should cherish every little happiness in our life with generosity .
