How can you get happiness? You may say that happiness requires nice comforts like a   71   , a car, big bank balance, a high paying job.

Here in India where I live, I have    72    through villages where people seemed to earn just enough to make ends meet. I have seen happiness there. I have seen     73     faces and smiling eyes that readily gave me directions. They were very     74   and made my journey easier.

I have also worked for 3 years on Wall Street, in a big Investment Bank. I have seen some people with a lot of     75   but still unhappy. I am not saying that all rich are unhappy (or the poor, happy). But the fact that there    76   some rich people who look angry or listless (无精打采的) and there are some poor people who     77    happy, points out that there must be something else to     78   , than just money, luxury (奢侈品) and comfort.

Happiness, it seems, is not a factor of how much you have. You can feel happy  79     to a good song, you can feel happy watching a beautiful sunrise, you can feel happy in any number of ways that don’t require any possessions at     80  . .

Last year, Alice died. I was very   72   and decided not to invite the children for Christmas breakfast. But Kathy and Pete, my next door   73  ,  asked me to join them for dinner   

74   Christmas Eve.

As soon as I arrived and took off my coat, Kathy asked me, “Do you have any milk at your house?”

“Yes,” I   75  .  “If you need some, I’ll go and get it right away.”

“Oh, that’s all right. Come and sit down. The kids have been   76   for you. Just give Peter your keys and let him do it.”

After a happy dinner with them, I went home. When I opened my door, I found my house had been decorated by Peter! It was   77   as beautiful as each Christmas before. At that moment, I wished that I could still serve the Christmas breakfast, but I had   78  no preparations (准备) .

    Early the next morning, a little boy with a bag of candies   79   my bell. Before I could ask him what was happening, he was joining by two of his friends. Within fifteen minuets, my house was   80   of children, and I had all the food I needed for the usual Christmas breakfast. I had a happy breakfast with the children again.
