A group of four is better than one. I’d love to work with all my friends. In such a group, we’d have such fun! The work could be shared by four of us. Be me and Shel and Dan and Jule.

Do you want to be happier? Well, you can do something about it. Some psychologists( 心理学家) believe that 10% of your happiness is due to life conditions and 40% is the result of your own choices. Your own choices include how you manage your time at school, your relationships, your friends, your activities and your health. So you have a lot of control over how happy you feel.1. Here are some tips on how to do that.
Surround yourself with positive( 积极的) people. Spend time with positive people and your ideas will become active. On the other hand, good friends will encourage, support, and lift you up when you're down.2.
That's also true for the people that we work with Don't try to be perfect. Remember that nothing can ever be perfect.3.
Instead think about what you already have. Think about what you've already done. Think of where you are today as a step towards tomorrow. Don't try to be perfect, just try to do things well﹣with excellence.
Focus on now. Don't think about all the things that can go wrong, like failing at school or your friend leaving you. Thinking like this only results in worry and stress, which is a waste of time and energy.4. Just worry about making today great, because the best way to be happy is just to enjoy each day.
Compare yourself to yourself, not to other people. There will always be someone smarter, or richer, or better looking or more successful than you. There will always be someone with a bigger house and a bigger boat than you. Someone will always have more. Rather, look at what you have got and who you are, accept and value that. Work toward being a better one than you were last month or last year. 5. And you will feel a lot happier with, and about yourself.
A.They see the best in you, and that helps you see the best in yourself.
B.That way you will be pleased with the progress that you are making.
C.The key is to take control by making choices and developing habits that make you happier.
D.You can control how happy you are, since giving always makes you feel happier.
E.If you can't control tomorrow, don't worry about tomorrow.
F.If you aim for perfection all the time, you will never be satisfied or happy.
G.Your relationship with your parents doesn't have to be perfect before you can be happy.
