態度與幸福
As is revealed in the cartoon, a boy is contemplating(認為) the true meaning of happiness. It is indeed a tough question for him: what is happiness? Making a huge sum of money, or winning true love, or keeping good health, or what? The picture is fairly thought-provoking(發人深省), which intends to convey to us this message: Due attention should be paid to the constant topic of human—happiness.
We can easily recognize the significance of attitude in terms of happiness. On the one hand, some have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy. Take the victims of Wen Chuan earthquake as an example, they lost their families and even something more precious, but they eventually stepped out of the pain to rebuild their home. On the other hand, people who have a relatively easy and comfortable life, and yet are essentially unhappy. Without a positive attitude or the determination to find the little happiness of life, you are destined to(注定) be grievous, no matter what kind of situation you are in.
Considering all the points discussed above, it is advisable that we highly value optimism and apply it in our studies and work. We are, therefore, supposed to take a rational attitude. Happiness is an attitude, not a condition, which lies in the unswerving efforts(堅持不懈的努力) to complete one’s life.

如圖所示，一個男孩沉思著“幸福”的真正含義。這對他確實是很難回答，什麼是幸福呢?掙大錢，贏得真愛，永葆健康，還是其它?這個圖片令人沉思，它試圖傳遞給我們這樣一個信息：我們應該適當關注人類這個永恆的話題-幸福。
我們很容易就能認識到在“幸福”這個話題中“態度”的重要性。一種情況，一些人遭受了很多，但仍然很幸福。就拿汶川地震的受害者為例，他們失去了家園，甚至是更加寶貴的東西，但最終還是走出痛苦，重建了家園。而有些人過著相對愜意舒適的生活，但一點兒都不快樂。可見，如果你沒有積極樂觀的態度和尋找生活中小幸福的決心，不管你身處何境，都注定是悲傷的。
綜上所述，我們應該重視樂觀的態度並把它套用到我們的學習和工作中。因此，我們應該有一個合理的理念：幸福是一種態度，而不是一種條件，它的實現在於通過不斷地努力讓自己的人生更加完美。
