　　Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness．Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness．Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends upon(取决于)ourselves．" In other words, we make our own happiness．Here are a few suggestions(建议)to help you be happier．

　　The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life．Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future．For example, getting into college or getting a good job-that we fail to enjoy the present．You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends．People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives．

　　Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time．Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming．You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity．

　　Finally, many people find happiness in helping others．Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others．If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone．You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes．

　　People sometimes change their ways of doing business．In a village in Africa people are using money for the first time．They are doing business in the modern world．

　　Before using money, people helped one another．The father, who was the head of the family, gave food and clothing to his families．In return, the son worked for his father．Now people no longer work for one another．Instead, they are paid for the work they do．

　　When a new road or a new school was needed, everyone in the village helped to build it．Now people must pay money to the village head for roads and schools．The head hired(雇佣)workers to build these new projects．More and better roads and schools are being built．

　　It is not easy to change a way of doing business．To change the way from trading goods(商品)to using money takes time．

　　I was getting fat．I work in an office and go there by car．I have good food，but I don’t do enough exercise…that’s how I get fat．My wife and I decided I had to do something about it．I don’t have much time for exercise because life is very busy．There are not many sports which you can play at home either．Table tennis would be fine，but we don’t have room large enough．Then I heard of a book of exercises for people like me．There are 5 different exercises．This is what you have to do．

　　1)Stand with your legs 15 centimeters apart．Point your arms above your head．Bend down to touch the ground between your feet．Reach up again and so on．(2 minutes)

　　2)Lie on your back，flat on the ground with your arms at your sides，sit up．Lie down again and so on．(1 minute)

　　3)Lie on your front．Join your hands behind your back．Lift your legs and shoulders as far off the ground as possible．(1 minute)

　　4)Lie on your front．Lift your body off the ground so that your arms are straight．Only your hands and toes touch the ground．(1 minute)

　　5)Running on the spot．Lift your feet 10 centimeters off the ground．(5 minutes)

　　Each of the exercises is done as many times as possible．The exercises get more difficult stage by stage．For women they are different. If you don’t get much exercise，you’ll enjoy them．
