Everyone is seeking happiness,but there is no specific definition about what happiness is,because for
different people,happiness means different things.State of happiness comes when you feel great joy and
satisfaction in life.The unity of soul and mind is very important for getting happiness,because mind creates a
comfortable environment for the soul.And mind has the power to control human actions and feelings.
The essence of happiness lies in the fact that you do what brings you pleasure.It's very simple.A person
has a builtin system,an analogue (模拟的)GPS (Global Positioning System)．GPS is a piece of equipment
that is most often put in cars,and shows the route from its present location to the destination.Here's how it
works.You get in your car,choose a destination,and specify an exact address.GPS immediately determines
the best route and the arrow shows the direction of the route.If you follow the instructions of GPS all the
time,you will arrive at your destination.If you do not follow the instructions,it will say "change the route"．
So here's your 'GPS'；it is your emotional system.When you feel joy,you're going the right way to a
happy life.When you feel sad and depressed,you're going in the wrong direction.Your 'GPS' says:"Change
the route."Some people are so used to this "change the route" that they in general no longer hear the
'GPS'．Change the route-it's your dissatisfaction,negative emotions and a sense of unhappiness.
Listen to your GPS.If the way is chosen incorrectly,your 'GPS' would tell you to "change the route"．
To gain your happiness,do follow your 'GPS'．
