  In defining happiness, first we should get rid of a harmful connotation, that happiness is synonymous with pleasure.It is most decidedly not.Pleasure is an end in itself; it is something that is hunted for.________; it is not obvious, but mysterious.

  This distinction is recognized in the very meaning of the word,“happiness”.It comes from the Old English “hap”, which just means“something that happens”.Many of our words invoking circumstance come from this word;“happening”,“mishap”, and“perhaps”are examples.“Happiness”, too, comes from this word, and means, literally,“that which happens”.

  Happiness is, moreover, a personal experience.It is confined to the person and the moment to which it belongs.What you find happy, your neighbor might not; what you and your neighbor find happy, the two of you may find happy for different reasons.If we had enough wisdom, enough knowledge, or simply enough love, we could be happy in everything.

  Happiness, then, is what we let it be.We can be happy, like the hermit, even if we are miserable, alone, and in pain.To us, though, it appears tending to escape, and many chase it, thinking of it as pleasure or riches.Happiness is not lack of want; that is contentment.Happiness is not joy or pleasure.Happiness is not the absence of sadness or pain.If we were stumbling stupidly about in a dark room, happiness would be the shaft of light we let through the keyhole, not knowing enough to simply open the door.

  If you have to miss one meal day(or if you want to do so),which meal will cause you fewest health problems if you don't eat it? lf they have to make a decision of this type,most people(especially dieters or very busy people)will choose to skip breakfast.

  However,many experts in the field of health consider breakfast(the meal which “breaks”your“fast”which started the night before)to be the most important meal of the day.If we eat a good breakfast,they say,we will have the energy and nutrients we need to begin our working day with vigor and hopefully with good humor.Nevertheless,many people skip breakfast or substitute a donut and a cup of coffee for a well-balanced meal.What hap-pens if we ignore the importance of breakfast?

  One recent study conducted in the United States tested a large number of people.Participants included both males and females who ranged in age from 12 to 83.During the experiment,these people were given a variety of breakfasts,and sometimes,they had to skip breakfast completely.Special tests,including blood tests and endurance tests,were set up to analyze how well the participants'bodies functioned when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast.

  The results showed that if a person eats an adequate breakfast,he or she will work more efficiently and more productively than if he or she skips breakfast or eats a very poor breakfast.This fact appears to be especially true if a person's work involves mental activity.The study showed that if schoolchildren eat fruit,eggs,bread,and milk before going to school,they will learn more quickly and will be able to concentrate on their lesson for a longer period of time than if their breakfast diet is inadequate.

  The study also showed that,contrary to what many people believe,if you skip break-fast,you will not lose weight.This is because people become so hungry if they skip breakfast that they eat too much for lunch and end up gaining weight instead of losing.So remember,if you are on a diet,skipping breakfast will not help you.You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
