Question

Have you ever had problems in your life and don’t know how to be happy? If so ,you will find “Being a Happy Teenager” by Australian writer Andrew Matthews useful. In his book, Matthews tells us how to have a happy life and answers the questions of teenagers.

The book says we should stop being angry. The book tells us some useful skills. For example, if you want to make your memory(记忆) better, you can put what you have learned into pictures of your mind. Many teenagers think that happiness comes from a good exam result or praise from other people. But you can still be happy when there are no such “good” things.

Success comes from a good attitude(态度). If you learn from problems, you have success in the future. Some school boys have problems such as being too tall or too short, but Matthews tells us happiness comes from thinking about things in a positive way.

If you are tall , you can get a better view(视线) at the movie. If you are short, your clothes and shoes take less room in your bedroom! This is Matthews’ most important lesson : you choose to be happy!
