Happiness is considered very important in life. Why is it difficult to define? What factors are important in achieving happiness? "Write at least 250 words and spend 40 minutes on this task

Article 1


Happiness is a key to a satisfactory and healthy life, as it gives the real meaning to the life. If we exclude happiness, life would be colourless. However, it is very challenging to define the exact meaning of happiness. There are a number of factors which play a key role in achieving it.

Happiness is a corner stone of human life, as it affects humans not only emotionally but physically. According to research, for instance, people with mental illness are more likely to think in a negative way, so they tend to live 20% shorter life than those without any mental problem. Similarly, Happiness makes a person productive and ultimately the whole country. As it is clearly seen in developing countries, people are redundant and less productive.
To define happiness is a great challenge, because it means differently to different people. Optimistic people draw happiness from everything, whilst pessimistic are unable to do so. Similarly some people set the bar so high for them that it is nearly impossible to achieve happiness from completing ordinary task. Additionally, some people think that spiritual achievements are the ultimate happiness, while some feel happy to make others happy.
A list of factors affects the achievement of it: environmental, personal and social. Intriguingly, a nice weather makes people joyous and smiley. To others personal achievement, academic or professional, is the reason to celebrate life. In addition friends and family also have an influence to some extent in contributing the happiness to one’s life.
In conclusion, happiness means different to everybody because it depends on several factors which define it. Moreover, it is one of the necessary tools to the healthy life.




Article 2


 Life is an amalgam of different feelings like happiness, sorrow, love, anger, hatred and so on and so forth.. every person has experienced almost every feeling at different times of their lives. But happiness is the feeling everyone is looking for all the time. just like a soul is to a body happiness is to life.

To define happiness is difficult as it is an abstract term. The dictionary may define it as a sense of joy or being delighted etc. it is also difficult to define because you cannot quantify it. And the most imp reason is that every person has its own definition of happiness. For some happiness means having a lot of money, for others it may be getting good grades or a desired profession or some particular job and still others would consider happiness to have a quality time with your family. So one may find it hard to define happiness yet it is the most frequent word used in conversation as everyone is running after what they think would make them happy.
The factors that determine happiness changes at different ages of life starting from birth, for a baby happiness is being in his mother’s lap and being kissed and licked by his mother, for a child of 4,5 years happiness is playing with his toys cars or guns for boys and barbie dolls and their houses means the world to them, as the age increases one may find happiness in getting good grades or having good clothes than other and still older would think money and happiness to be synonyms.
In short happiness may mean different to different individuals but it is the most essential part of life for everyone.



Article 3


God has created man in a very unique fashion. He made him strong physically to bear hardships and equally made him vulnerable to emotions be it joy, love, sorrow , anger etc.  of all the emotions, happiness is the only sentiment that gives positive drive to our lives.

It is indeed very hard to exactly define the happiness because it is beyond everything that can be quantified. But the moments of happiness one experiences, can vary in length. For some individuals , happiness lasts forever and for others it is ephemeral. Whatever the case may be, people are after the every reason to be happy. Because of the fact that priorities have changed since we have started our journey towards materialism. However, this approach has not changed the way of finding happiness.
Having said that, there are factors which contribute towards achieving happiness. For instance , for a nation ,happiness lies when they are free to practice religion ,have access to basic necessities of life ,cultural festivals etc. in the same way, for an individual to attain the pinnacle of happiness, mental and physical well-being are the vital factors. Although it is up to an individual how and where he finds happiness. 
For example , a baby becomes happy when he sees mother , for a toddler happiness is all about playing with toys. Teenagers find happiness under the notion of “thou shalt do,thou wilt” and so on. Still there are some unfortunate fellows for whom happiness is a mirage. They remain flummoxed and perplexed throughout their lives as they have set the bar at a higher level.
In conclusion, it is the fact that one can never be happy if he looks for happiness, it lies within. 



Article 4


happiness is the most important aspect of life for which all of us are striving .It is very difficult to define as happiness is not simply a word but a feeling, and emotions can never be expressed in the form of words.Every one has its own perception of happiness and its own ways and means of achieving it

Different things are responsible for giving happiness to different people. Some become happy by spending time with their loved ones.On the other hand , others are more comfortable with their work.Few people love pets.In this modern era outdoor activities like shopping,dinning out ,outings etc also bring happiness to a particular group of people.Materialistic people, on contrary, become happy with wealth
Reason of these views about happiness is my own understanding and views of people around me.let me give an example of a colleague of mine who used to feel very happy with her kids and she could sacrifice any thing to be with them.Another interesting example is of my elder sister whose happiness is centred on achieving excellence in her profession.
According to my conclusion this internal feeling, which is referred to as happiness by people, is immensely diverse and no one has got enough intellect and knowledge to explain it completely.But the point which should be focused is that our life should not be confined to achieving happiness for ourselves rather we must seek happiness for others as well.henceforth,this global village will become a centre of happiness .
