Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and Success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends upon ourselves." In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.

The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future -for example, getting into college or getting a good job -that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. (3) People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.

Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this by dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. (4) Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

Do you often run outdoors to keep healthy? Have you ever thought about how running helps to clean up the earth? Sometimes a creative mind can bring us a win-win(双赢) situation.

Plogging began in Sweden(瑞典). The name“plogging" comes from two words -the Swedish(瑞典的) word "plocka", which means“to pick up”, and the word "jogging", which means“to run slowly". A Swedish man called Erik started the movement.

He saw rubbish here and there when riding to work each day. He became worried about the dirty environment and decided not to go to work by bike any more.

Then he began to run to work and pick up the rubbish.①To his joy, more and more people followed him and soon the new way to exercise became popular.

Many people choose plogging instead of just jogging because they think plogging is a good way to help clean up the earth. Sometimes rubbish is difficult to collect because it may scatter(散落) all around. But if the runners pick up the rubbish on the way, it is quite different. After all, many hands make light work.

Another reason is that plogging burns more calories(卡路里). According to a research,plogging for 10 minutes burns 48 calories, while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.

Everyone on the earth should play a part in cleaning it up!②是我们一起采取行动的时候了。So ready? Let's plog tomorrow!
