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. 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. That's also true for the people that we work with.
Don't try to be perfect. Remember that nothing can ever be perfect. 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. 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. And you will feel a lot happier with, and about yourself.
I once believed that a friend is a friend all the way. Now I have changed my ideas about friendships.
1). Friends of convenience(便利). They can be the people who live next door or the mothers of our children's closest friends. Friends of convenience are good indeed. They'll help us when we need it. They'll look after our cats when we go on holidays. But we don't ever get too close or tell too much. Between us, we'll talk about being overweight but not about being sad or disappointed(失望). However, people still find it necessary to make friends like this.
2). Special-interest friends. These friendships aren't deeply personal or emotional(感情上的). They lie in some shared interests, so we may have an office friend, a tennis friend, or even a shopping friend.
3). Historical friends. We all have a friend who knew us when…maybe we were back in the second grade of primary school, when our family lived in that two-room flat downtown. He or she was the first, the only friend we told our secrets to.
The years have gone by, and we have gone different ways. But we're still a personal part of each other's past. We know how we looked before our teeth were straightened(矫正), and our getting together makes us think of an earlier part of ourselves, which is important and never lost.
4). Cross-generational friends. These are friendships that from across generations(代). I have in my own life a precious(珍贵的) friend, a woman of 65, who is clever, who listens well, and who means not only an ideal mother to me but also the person I'd like to be when I grow up.
Best friends, I believe, totally love and help each other.

Tara and Beth met in a dancing class and became close friends very quickly. Soon Beth felt comfortable talking to Tara about her own problems, and Tara was always happy to listen to her. One day, Beth heard some other girls talking about the things that only she and Tara knew. Later, Beth found out that Tara was talking behind her back. Beth didn't understand how Tara could be so nice when she was with her, but be a different person when they were not together. The next day at school, Beth started saying bad words about Tara. From then on, when they met, they both said bad words about each other.
It was clear that Tara was not a very good friend to Beth when she talked behind Beth's back. Why did Tara start doing this? Was she not a nice person? Maybe not. There might be something else going on.
At last, Beth found out that Tara's problem came from jealousy(嫉妒), because Tara didn't have nice clothes or expensive things like Beth's.
