雅思大作文范文之幸福是什么

　　Without any discussing, the key to happiness, in my opinion, is aharmonious relationship with the people in our lives.

　　It is the people in our lives who bring us the most happiness. Family,friends and co-workers, who are part of our inner circle, share our experiences,hopes and dreams, successes and frustrations, joys and pains. Too often, many ofus get on the fast track of life and take each other for granted. As a newmillennium approach, more people disregard their passion and interests andchoose careers based on job security, pay and professional promotion. As aresult, they find themselves isolated and without friends. Loneliness is acommon tragedy that destroys lives.

　　Actually we were old enough to remember the old saying "Money doesn’t buyhappiness", yet we strive for the material objects and pay a high price. Theessence of happiness is the unconditionally love we have for the people in ourlives and their unconditionally love for us. To live life only for ourselveswill bring us nothing but sadness and misery.

　　A self-centered life is an unhappy life. Selfishness is a major block tohappiness. Our feelings of insecurity and low self-esteem cause us to be takersrather than givers. Our selfishness is often a mask for fear. If we don’t thinktoo much about ourselves, we have a lot of work to do in order to enhance ourself-worth. We must live for something greater than ourselves. To be happy, wemust get out of ourselves. An unhappy person must turn outward, not inward, tofind happiness.

　　I truly believe that the happiest people are those who love many things.They love children, family and friends. They love sunrises and sunsets. Theylove life. They have even learned to love pain and despair rather than viewingthem the opposite of happiness.
