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.
