Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work.I don?t think that my grandmother,who raised 14 children,had much of either.She did have a network of close friends and family,and maybe this is what satisfied her.

　　We,however,with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area,have turned happiness into one more thing we?ve got to have.We?re so self-conscious about our“right”to it that it?s making us miserable.So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success,without noticing that the people who have those things aren?t necessarily happier.

　　Happiness isn?t about what happens to us—it?s about how we see what happens to us.It?s the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative.It?s not wishing for what we don?t have,but enjoying what we do possess.
