Happiness is an Attitude over a Matter Happiness is an Attitude over a Matter Once upon a time, “Are you happy?” as a theme rose by CCTV, and thousands of people participated in the interview. Answers are different, some said they were happy because they no need to worry about their daily life requirement, and some said they were not happy because they had not got what they want. Today, when I rush into my office after saying goodbye to my son in the kindergarten, I heard nice sound of singing outdoor. Everybody knows that the postman, a tall thin boy, is coming. I don’t know his name, where does he live, how much does he earn each month, but I know he is happy from his sound of singing. Frankly, I don’t think he earns more than any colleague of mine, but why he is so happy every day. Therefore, I think happiness is an attitude over a matter, it is not directly relating to how much you earn, where are you living, what kind of cloth you are wearing and what kind of food you are eating, it is only a kind of attitude. How do you think about it?

Dogs, how many people love them, and how many hate them? Recently, I watched an old HK TV series, named WHEN A GOD LOVES A CAT, Chinese name 《當狗愛上貓》 which change my concept of dogs. In fact, similar to the wife of Mr. Jim, one character in the series, I fear dogs; no matter they are big or small. Whenever I saw a dog, you must hear my scream. My friends asked me why for several times. There are several reasons for this, my family members, almost of them been bitten by a dog, they have scars on their bodies. They told me many horrific stories about dogs. When I was a child, elders told me don't touch dogs, they may bit me. I also learn many tragic storied from newspapers and reports. The most terrible story I know is that a wolf-dog eat two children of its master. The master feed it pork and take them out for a walk every day, however, it eat his master's children. What kind of feelings do you have when you heard such a story? What kind of feelings do you have when your trust friend betray you? I believe that most people keep a dog because they need an honest friend, when they feel sad or lonely, the dog could give them comfort, even cure their illness. Dogs, they are the loyalist friends on the world.
