2013年12月英語六級作文范文幸福
Happiness, as the saying has it, is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them. In other words, people can never be happy if they focus on their difficulties and challenges. Simple as the remark may sound, it conveys a thought-provoking notion that happiness is a state of mind not an absence of problems.
First and foremost, it is well known that in order to be a strong individual, one needs obstacles to develop one’s strength, just like butterflies which struggle to be free of their cocoon in order for their wings to become strong enough to fly. Furthermore, just because people have a disadvantaged childhood, it does not mean they cannot be successful. Steve Jobs is a case in point. He was abandoned by his biological parents and dropped out of university but still managed to change the world.
To conclude, as the saying goes “You cannot run away from your problems. There is not a place far enough away.” Consequently, it is advisable for everyone to have a positive attitude toward their problems if they really want to be happy.

The Way to Happiness
When it comes to the topic of “happiness”, the opinions of people usually distinguish from each other, which give rise to the heated discussion among the public concerning the way to achieve happiness. As the saying goes, “Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them.” I personally agree that the ability to cope with complications in life is the right path of pursing happiness.
However, how could we deal with daily troubles or even struggles could generate serious concerns. From my perspective, to begin with individuals, optimism could perform an essential character. According to a survey conducted in certain institution in China, the percent of people with optimistic attitudes far out weighs the opposite in the aspects of overcoming dilemmas, thus having better opportunity to achieve the sense of happiness.
In addition, in terms of the society, certain institutions in China should launch relevant campaigns to strengthen the emphasis putting on the resolving of a problem, not the way trying to avoid it or even to neglect it. In spite of the fact that this may be a long run, these methods of coping with problems could definitely contribute to happiness in our consistent efforts.

With regard to happiness, opinions may vary from person to person. Some people take it for granted that happiness is the pursuit of the external materials. While others choose to stand on the opposite side. As the saying goes, “Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them.”
What the saying illustrates is the significance that happiness derives from the optimistic mind to deal with problems rather than avoid them. Only when we spare every effort to cope with the obstacles and setbacks we are encountered with, can we taste the fruit of success. Those who can suffer years of toil and accumulate experience will genuinely feel happy. For instance, Helen Keller, one of the most world-renowned women writers, who was born deaf and blind, has completed the magnificent works ‘If I have three days’ with her tenaciousness and persistence.
In my view, we are supposed to show an optimistic attitude and develop the ability to cope with them when we are confronted with the obstacles. I firmly hold the view that you will surely experience the pleasure of happiness the moment you are equipped with the ability to solve the problems.
