1.Sometimes we may think that happiness is so faraway a thing that we couldn't touch it. But with time passing by,I gradually understand the meaning of happiness. It turns out to be easy. You know what? You could take everything as a reason to be happy. When you come across an old friend, you can feel happiness from the bottom of your heart. When you see someone else smile to you in the morning, you might be happy the whole day? When you find a letter which is written by your teacher, you may feel satisfaction. And when you give a seat to a pregnant woman you must be proud of yourself and be happy.

Remember when you just smile to the world, you will receive double of that. Believe it or not. Happiness is with you all the time and the most important thing is that you catch it and cherish it!

2.At the airport bookstore, there are only about a dozen freestanding shelves of books. It's Darwinian selection at its most brutal: only the most popular authors, the newest novels, and the most recognizable classics survive. You won't find the lesser known works of Oscar Wilde or Voltaire or even Hemingway — there isn't space for them. Jane Austen makes only the briefest appearance, and Edgar Allen Poe shows his face only at Halloween. There are no collections of poetry beyond Dr. Seuss.

There is, however, a whole rack of self help books.

Americans are obsessed with making ourselves better. Smarter. Thinner. You can buy books to improve your voc

abulary. You can devour a stack of books that will teach you to work more efficiently, more ruthlessly, and claw your way to the top — and then you can read books on how to stop and smell the roses and enjoy your life more fully. There are even books that will teach you how to organize your closets.

All of these things dance around the essential truth: we want to be happy. We want to be loved. We want to find meaning in our lives and feel that our contributions make a difference.

This, then, is the Rusty Brain Guide: How To Be Happy.

Eat more cookies. Abstaining from a single cookie isn' t going to make you look svelte and toned. Go on, eat some cookies. I recommend the double chocolate ones with chocolate chips inside.

Sing. In your car. In elevators. At the mall, especially at Crate & Barrel and Pottery Barn. In hospital corridors. Before important client meetings. When people give you that patronizing look, wink at 'em.

Make Popsicles.

Stay home on the weekend and disconnect your phone.

Bring a plastic straw to a fancy restaurant. Make loud gurgling sounds when you get to the bottom as you attempt to drink every last molecule of diet Coke.

Order the stuff on the menu that you've never heard of — like Gkaeng Cheud Bplah Meuk Yad Sai (Stuffed Squid Soup with Napa Cabbage or Squash).

Talk to strangers.

Collect something weird that isn't expensive but is relatively hard-to-find.

Wear odd hats in pu

blic places.

Amass a jar of coins. Bury them in your back yard. Draw a treasure map and give it to a friend.

Walk to the park near your house. Do some somersaults. When was the last time you did a somersault, anyway?

Eat pickles out of the jar.

Build a Web site and write your own Rusty Brain column (Matt only ).

Spend a day by yourself. Leave your cell phone at home. Wander the streets, muttering to yourself and occasionally disagreeing with what you've just muttered.

Buy a puppy . Name it Charo.

Get your teeth capped. Move to Hollywood. Become a star. (Isn't that what you've been dreaming about anyway?)

Wear thong panties under your habit (nuns only).

Throw a surprise birthday party for a friend. Invite lots of people. Make sure that your friend's actual birthday is nowhere near the date of the party.

< p>Belch in public. Then contently.

Suntan sigh naked on a public beach. Adopt a European accent for the day to explain your complete lack of modesty.

Quit your worthless job and dedicate your life to the study of the Moroccan flute.

Fly a kite.

Stop wasting your life with the Moroccan flute and get a real job.

Volunteer at your library, or church, or your local soup kitchen, or Habitat for Humanity. Wear clothes so ratty that you are often mistaken for one of the "needy."

Use the word "Jonesing" as often as possible. As in, "Man, I'm Jonesin' for some homemade Popsicles."

Studies have shown this will make you happy.

Join a bowling league. Buy a large red bowling ball. Name it "Gorbachev."

Drive to the nearest national forest. Hike a mile with a backpack full of cold fried chicken and biscuits. Find a clearing where you will not meet a single human and have a picnic.

Stare at the clouds for a full afternoon and dream.

Think about the things you love to do. Now go do those things more often.

Meet someone, fall in love, live happily ever after.

Translation: Airport Bookstore There are only about a dozen independent bookshelves inside. Darwin's ruthless law of "survival of the fittest" is vividly demonstrated here: only the most popular writers, the latest releases, and the most recognized classics can be put on the shelves. Even the less famous works of Oscar Wilde, Voltaire and even Hemingway failed to gain a place. Jane Austen's works are only the most famous ones, while Edgar Allen Poe's works are only seen on Halloween. As for poetry collections, let alone those other than Dr. (Theodore) Soyce's.

However, there is a whole shelf of "＊＊self-help" books here.

People are fascinated by books about how to make themselves more attractive, smarter, and slimmer. You can buy a book to improve your vocabulary, or you can read a lot of books that teach you how to improve work efficiency, be more ruthless, and climb up faster, or you can read books that teach you how to Stop and admire the roses on the roadside, books on how to enjoy life better, and even books that teach you how to organize your own bathroom.

All of this revolves around a basic theme: We all want to be happy, we all want to be loved, we want to discover the true meaning of life, and we want to experience the change that comes from self-sacrifice.

That’s it. So our "Square Head Column" is to tell you the secret to happiness.

●Eat more biscuits. Eating one less cookie won't make you look slimmer or curvier. So, go ahead and eat the cookies with confidence. I recommend the kind with double-sided chocolate and chocolate filling in the middle.

●Whether you are in the car, in the elevator, in the supermarket, especially in stores like Crate & Barrel and Pottery Barn, you have to hum. Hum the song in the hospital corridors and during meetings with important clients. When people look at you, wink at them.

●Make your own popsicles.

●Stay home on weekends and unplug your phone.

●Bring a plastic straw and go to a unique restaurant. Be sure to slurp before you drink the last drop of Coke in your cup.

●Just order something on the menu you've never heard of - something like Gkaeng Cheud Bplah Meuk Yad Sai (Squid Soup with Ganapa Kale or Pumpkin).

●Go talk to strangers.

●Collect things that are not valuable but are hard to find.

●Wear a very weird hat when appearing in public places.

●Save a large jar of coins and bury them in your yard behind your home.

Then draw a treasure map and give it to one of your friends. (Let him find it!)

●Go for a walk in a park near your home. Do some somersaults in the park. Think about it again, when was the last time you did somersaults?

●Eat the vegetables directly from the jar.

●Build a website and write your own "Square Head Column" (only for Matt).

●Spend a day at home alone. Leave your phone at home. Go wandering on the street, chattering to yourself, and occasionally refuting yourself.

●Buy a puppy. Name him Sharo.

●Wear white braces and move to Hollywood. Then become a star. (Isn’t this what you’ve always dreamed of?)

●Belted panties are worn under the cassock (for nuns only).

●Hold a sudden birthday party for a friend and invite many people to attend. But in reality, the party is held several days before your friend's birthday.

●Hiccups in public. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

●Sunbathing naked on the beach. It's a day to use a European accent to explain why someone is so immodest.

●Stop the meaningless work you are doing and concentrate on learning the Moroccan flute.

●Go fly a kite.

●Stop wasting your life learning Moroccan flute and find a real job.

●Serve as a "volunteer" at the library, church, local soup kitchen or residential area. Clothes must be so shabby that you will often be considered "poor".

●Join a bowling league. Buy a big red bowling ball and name it "Gorbachev."

●Drive to the nearest national forest park. Walk a mile with a big bag of fried chicken nuggets and biscuits. Then find a clean place where you won't run into other singles and have a picnic.

●I spent the whole afternoon staring at the clouds in the sky and daydreaming.

●Think about things you like to do. You can do more now.

●Meet someone, fall in love, and live happily
